The trick is to use a lace "stabilizer" on the fabric. This is a thin, water-soluable, lining. You can also find a fusable (iron-on) tear away type. I prefer the water-soluable because it's easier to remove. I pin it in place, sew the lace just as any fabric or trim, and then sponge away the stabilizer. If you are referring to a lace trim, rather than lace fabric, then any type of two faced trim iron-on will work, and doesn't have to be removed. You just cut away the part the isn't under the lace or stitches. Always be sure you are using the proper needle and thread. Size counts! It never hurts to use extra pins to hold in place, but again, make sure you aren't using denim size pins when silk size (thinner) is what you need.
