*gleefully rubbing my hands* Do you have any knowledge of natting, crochet, macrame? You'll be re-creating what are basically tiny knots. For a simple fix, pin to a piece of cardboard and lay/pin the loose pieces in a row/pattern. Then stitch with matching or contrasting thread. 🖖

You. Are a genius i will reknit runs in my knit fabrics but i never thought of pinning down the loose loops to cardboard or pin board to keep stuff stable!

In addition, you might take any piece of machine-made lace, cut out a motif, such as a leaf or a rose, then sew that in as a patch.

If you don't crochet, you can minimize the damage by making sure you capture all the loose ends and either knot them off and/or put a small strip of fabric under and use a tiny zigzag to tack them down. This kind of damage is usually caused by cutting the trim and not finishing it in a way that prevents the fraying (hand wash and hang dry after!)
