Attached is a simple tute for digitising lace from Stitch Delight,
and a final sample of what you would be hoping to achieve.
This tute assumes you will be using your own shape to digitise, it did
not come with the bitmap for the sample provided.

It uses a different version of Wilcom than the version 8 posted in
here, so I don't know if the screens pasted are still the same for
certain settings.

It takes a simple shape, creates foundation stitches and an overlay of
satin stitches to create a final shape.
Note especially it points to a second layer of underlay stitches "for
a stronger lace".  As I mentioned in a previous post, SD has
discovered many of their earlier efforts were not "stable" with a
single layer of underlay.

This is a very basic tute, but the principals are quite good for a
first starter. These instructions could be applied to any digitising
program, as long as you understand the terms used and where to find
the equivalent stitch settings on your program.

Enjoy, if lace is your thing.
