Hello, One of the many mystery pieces I come across in the Smithsonian lace collection is some sort of muslin applique. I am hoping one or more of you have suggestions about this type. Loosely woven cotton fabric is applied to the back of the Raschel machine made net with a chain stitch. I think the chain stitch is done on the Bonnaz or Cornely. In most laces of this type the fabric is on the front of the net but here it is behind the net. I can send photos to anyone interested.
