I don't know about modern clothes, which is what I'm assuming you'd be using it for. The stuff I knit lace for is stuff that has to be ironed and/or starched every time it's washed -- petticoats, pantalettes, chemises, etc. Corsets generally aren't washed, so I can just baste this on after blocking it, and if it ever needs to be refreshed, I can take it off.
I don't know that you can attach handknit lace to things that are machine-washable. Maybe if it was washed by hand and laid flat to dry it would do OK.
