It's simply tacked down with a single stitch on just the top curves (the bottom curves hang over the hemmed edge so all you see is rick rack). The bottom row shows what the back side looks like.
Here's what happens at the corner turn:
This is pretty for a runner but probably wouldn't work so well for clothing—it's not very sturdy and could easily pull off with rough handling. But I love how simple it is and think of all the color combinations you could come up with!

Hi Janet,
this is very pretty..i have a lott ricrac lace....now i can use them with this idea..this design goes well for neck patterns..by the way is it straigh or lazydaisy stitch for flowers?
What a beautiful piece! And so nicely done. That's a pretty neat rickrack trick but I'm lazy and would probably machine sew it!
Lovely find. What will you do with it?
I should have provided a detail of the flowers so you can see them better. They're all lazy-daisy with longer than average loops.
What a clever touch ... TTFN~ Marydon
what a beautiful runner; my favorite colors!!
What an idea! I love it! Simple and easy, yet it gives a lovely touch. Thank you for sharing this!

I'm going to keep this piece and use it as it was originally intended—on the dresser in my bedroom. I have a vintage three-panel mirror that I'm refinishing and will paint hot pink—the two should go together really well. I have a hot pink chair in the room, too, painted to match a vintage floral cushion that I found at the flea market!
This is lovely- I like the simplicity of it, proves that you don't always have to do fancy stitches to make something look great.
