[lace] Chantilly lace

[Rick & Sharon Whiteley]

It's my understanding that by the time Chantilly lace really became popular 
it was no longer made in Chantilly.  At the height of popularity in the 
mid-1800's it was made by machine but the gimps were still put in by hand. 
It's probable that the modern Chantilly is still made this way and threading 
the gimps allows it to be called "hand made".  Sharon on Vancouver Island
