Hi,
Yes, Limerick, Coggeshall, Lier tape laces are similars. The difference
is on the style and some stitches are more use or not.
I readed that Limerick tape lace came from Coggeshall who came from
Luneville (in East France). In Luneville now, they don't use tulle.
There is run lace in Limerick and in the past in Lier too. Not now.
To learn 2 good books for me :
Embrodered machine nets Limerick and worldwide by Pat Earnshaw. You can
find it on amazone uk
Lierse kant: oude en nieuw by Greet Rome You can find it in Scharlaeken
in Brugge for exemple : http://www.scharlaeken.be/en/?item_id=11460&oper=cms
Tulle can be in silk too. Impossible to find now I think. You can use
4-sided too but it's very different and more easy.
In Europe, you can find tulle. For exemple, in Scharlaeken too :

or in england in Jo Firth.

As others have written, they are similar. There is a needlerun Limerick
lace and a tamboured Limerick (both done on tulle). I make Coggeshall
but take my designs from any of the tambour lace books. A key point
that hasn't been mentioned so far is that the tulle should be cotton and
the 'holes' must be six-sided. This tulle is very difficult to find in
Canada
