In regard to tape laces of c. 1640, none of those tapes would have been
machine made.  Even straight tapes and shoe laces would have been hand
loomed or made with bobbins.  What kind of loom, I don't know.  Machine
woven cloth (or tapes) did not exist until the late 1700s.  I've seen the
kind of tapes Devon is talking about.
