- Choose your stiffening method! If you want a touch of stiffness, then follow Method #1. If you want a lot of stiffness, then follow Method #2. For Method #1, lay your lace motifs on a rag and follow the fabric stiffener’s instructions. For Method #2, lay your lace motifs on a protected surface and brush on the white glue, covering all areas and the reverse side as well. Let dry.
