Stevie That tape lace is what we call "mixed tape lace", meaning that the tape is machine made. You can see how it is folded when it changes direction. Needle lace stitches would be worked into the empty spaces between the tape sections to hold it together. This is a messy example. Tape lace can be entirely bobbin made, however. Look here about 2/3 down for Battenberg. http://lynxlace.com/compare.html These are mostly bobbin tape lace: http://laceioli.ning.com/photo/photo/search?q=tape+lace These are mixed tape laces: http://lynxlace.com/battenberglace.html Lorelei
