How do I attach some vintage crochet edging to a pillowcase that has the little holes in the edge? HELP!?

I removed this edging from an old pair of pillowcases my mom had embroidered when the old cases became unusable. I would like to reuse the edging. I have embroidered a new pair of cases that have the holes near the edge with a raw edge below that. Can I just slip stitch the crochet edging into the holes in the case with white embroidery floss or even plain white thread? What do I do about the raw edge? I appreciate any help with this, and since I am "craft-challenged," the simpler the better! Thanks!

Yes, you can just sew the crochet edging onto the pillow. With the raw edge, what about first hemming that so that you have a clean line at the edge? Not sure how that would work with your holes though. If you do cover the holes, you can always just sew the crochet edge onto the pillow case.

Happy sewing!
