I know that we have discussed this in the past but cannot remember a referrance or definition. In 18th C. embroidery, what is the difference between spangles and sequins used for additional embellishment.
I don't know that there is a differencr other that etymology. Sequin is the French/Italian derived word and Spangle is the English/Dutch derived word.
Unless you're using the modern useage of a sequin is cupped and spangle is flat.
