I have seen vintage linens finished with white Rick Rack and crochet to make pretty edges. Rick Rack on Seminole piecework looks right in place. Rick Rack insertion works.

It does have a nostalgic feel and I love it on old aprons, curtains and children's and summer clothing.

A pretty use for Rick Rack is to insert in the edges of quilted projects, like prairie points. I think it would be a very effective finish for table mats and toppers, especially with curved edges. I like the large and the tiny versions best. I think showing only half the Rick Rack takes the 'curse' away a bit.

Some crafters are making very sophisticated, yet cute, flowers
from gathered Rick Rack. It's hard to update something with such a nostalgic tradition, isn't it, but nostalgia buffs enjoy it--especially the young.
