RE: [lace] heirloom sewing and lace insertion
I must have missed the original post about insertion lace, but my understanding is that insertion lace is a lace which has a footside on each side, and is intended to be attached to fabric on either side. This is also known as entre-deux. Hope this helps.

Re: [lace] heirloom sewing and lace insertion
I must have missed the original post about insertion lace, but my understanding is that insertion lace is a lace which has a footside on each side, and is intended to be attached to fabric on either side. This is also known as entre-deux. I must have missed the original post too, but insertion lace is actually a broader category than just entre-deux, which is a very narrow band with sort of a ladder type threads connecting the two sides. Insertion lace similarly has straight edges on both sides, sewn between two pieces of fabric, and joining them together, but the term usually is applied to bands of lace proper, rather than the simpler narrow entre-deux bands. Oftentimes, in fact, a row entredeux is used between the edges of the insertion lace and the fabric, to join them together, in heirloom sewing...

[lace] heirloom sewing and lace insertion
A few days ago someone was asking about heirloom sewing and what we thought might be meant by an insertion lace (at least, I think that's what was asked). Looking for something else, I just came across this web site: http://www.lydias.com/qheirbasics.html which may answer your question. Please let us know how you got on and if you were able to help the person with the sewing interest.
