The machine-made netting that Filet Lace by the Sea (Marie-Jo Quinalt) sells is knotted. The knot used in both is a simple knot and as such appears the same in both the hand-knotted and machine-made netting that I've seen. I don't think you will be able to know if the net was hand or machine made in an old piece.
