I have some crocheted lace trim I would like to sew on a robe. What can I do to keep the cut ends from unraveling? Is this possible? I would appreciate any input you lovely ladies may have

Is one end finished off so the end you are talking about is the one you will cut to make it fit? If so then you can use some fabric glue or cut it and leave enough extra to fold over and stitch.

You could also use "fray-check" on the raw ends. This keeps them from raveling.
