Hi Pammy erm not as yet always good intension to do that,I do have a pattern to use for a camisole, I plan doing that on it someday.I saw one time where you just insert lace between the fabric,at intervals and serge or sew.
If at first you don't suceed, try-try again!

Hello everyone, Last year at a Instructors class I purchased a Martha Pullen Heirloom night clothes book. It is easy to understand and is well illustrated. The book is amazing to say the least. Happy Sewing threads_40 "Your goal is greater than your struggle"
