Default Using Vintage/Retro Lace, Embroidery and Crocheting

I have been given a number of vintage and retro embroidered tablecloths, runners, crocheted trims and doilies etc and plan to cut them up to make cushion covers for a local charity to sell.

They have all been washed and ironed but before I start cutting them up have you any advice on how to prepare the various pieces. I’m worried that a cut piece of crocheting will fall to pieces the next time it is washed. Also, would it be ok to repair damaged fabric?

Any suggestions on how to progress with this project would be gratefully received.
