[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9818088, member: 2844"]You didn't say how long the tear is. Ripped usually means that all of the lace is still there, so you only need a minor repair. I usually repair such minor damage using my own hair and a beading needle, a trick I learned from another lace collector. And it is the perfect way to have the same lace as the wedding dress. In this case you can use blonde or grey hair. Hair is so thin that the blonde colour won't stand out. Don't pull the needlework too tightly, just so much that it looks like the rest of the lace. Make sure you knot the ends tightly, hair is more likely to come loose than thread. Once you have a tight knot, it will stay in place forever.[/QUOTE]
