Thanks for your tips!

I've had odd linens (stained embroidered napkins, a couple handkerchiefs) I've used the motifs as appliques on crazy quilt blocks, stitched the lace/tatting along the edges. Like tranum, I say that's better than the charity shop.

There is a Quilting Vintage! Facebook group. A lot of very knowledgeable people in that group. I'm sure they'd be able to answer your questions.

I agree with this. Sew first, cut later. I would even sew two or more lines near the proposed cut, in the seam allowance.
