Jen, I guess the only fringe sewing I have ever done has been done on Egyptian costumes, during alteration or when I wanted the fringe in different places.
In these costumes, I don't want the fringe sewn through everything, I want it attached only to certain layers. Generally I remove the inner lining to access and take off/change/move/add fringe and baste the fringe onto the innards. I don't want the stitching to go all the way through all the layers. I want it to stay secure but with the possibility of moving it again in the future if I want.
I also baste the inner lining if I have to remove/replace that. Again, it is intended to be easy to remove (for example to add padding or darts or change strap locations, etc) or replace. I don't want it machine stitched.
