For those who love hand made lace.
This group will include filet lacis and Buratto. Filet lacis is made on a square knotted mesh, which was formerly handmade, using the same knot as an old time fisherman's net. Buratto is made on a woven cloth with large spaces between the threads, but the decorative stitches are the same as for filet lacis. The Lacis net can also be worked by hand in rounds, but the resulting round pieces are not embellished with additional embroidery. Filet Guipure.

Neither of these directly answer your question, but might be a starting place to look.
Elizabeth, a netting kit can be purchased from Lacis that contains three sizes of double-ended netting "needles" and three sizes of guage. They are online at Lacis.com, and if you enter "netting kit" in the search box you should have no trouble finding it.
Quite some time ago I saw a video of someone making a length of lace trim using a netting needle and gauge the size of a 000 or finer knitting needle. I cannot for the life of me remember where, and I was hoping this would ring a bell for someone here. I seem to recall the source was somewhere in the Nederlands or that part of the world. Help?
I have heard of someone wanting to buy a filet needle - one with an eye at both ends, and a groove along the length between the eyes.
Does anyone know of a supplier? I have never heard of these till a couple of days ago. If anyone could help, I can pass it along...!
Be sure to show us a picture when it is finished..
Thanks Lorelei.
I have actually decided doing something a little like that, but over two rows of the mesh before I whip it. I am working the reinforcing thread back and forth between the two outer rows of mesh, trying to help hold them "together". The back and forth form of the whipping will add another layer, then when I buttonhole the final hem, I will lay still more threads around the perimeter under the buttonhole stitch. The test will come when I finally cut it away from fabric. I'll let you know how I go.
Another idea occurs to me. Possibily put in a few rows of running stitch along the outside edge, inside the threads remaining of the cloth. That might give you something a little sturdier to work over, in whatever edging method you decide to use.
The Leno netting pulls away very easily, so sewing it to fabric is a concern - for the net, not the fabric!
Pity you withdrew threads right to the edges.
Sewing on a strip of the firm un-withdrawn fabric, and turning it under, is about all I can think of.- or just binding the edge with a wide binding of the same fabric, so the raw edge of the main part was well encased in the hem, might work.
Do please let me know what you decide, and how it goes.
Sorry Liz, I can't help you with your problem either, but there has to be a solution! I would be thinking applique to solve it, then cutting the background away.
We seem to be on the same wave length. I would love to do a patchwork effect of filet, but I want mine done in all fabric to keep the colours the same, ie no little white corners showing through. Hence I am playing with creatiing my own mesh by withdrawing threads. But this is giving me a hemming headache.
