"Perhaps this is another instance of machine-made trim, hand-sewn in place - but it looks very nice." Bev
It is machine made trim yardage and/or medallions, and they are cut and pieced and applied to create the "effect" of lace, similar to passementerie (but the latter is typically done with scrolling designs made of fine "tape" such as soutache, etc.). The pieces create the effect of lace, but much of it is not interconnected (other than sewing thread to hold it in place to create the effect of continuity and design, free forming the separate pieces). It creates a lovely lace effect, but is hand applied machine made trim for embellishment.
