Hi Helen, Your memory isn’t playing tricks - it’s Lutac lace named after Lucienne Tack-van Maldere, the person who developed it. She wrote a book called Lutac Relief which has what I always think of as a cauliflower on the cover. In her instructions the padding is covered with cloth stitch. Karen Marie Iversen from Denmark also uses the technique for jewellery and she covers the padding with half stitch which means that the padding threads are visible and become part of the design (there are patterns in her book Modern Lace Jewellery).
