Re: [lace] tape lace
Hello Lorelei, there is another one Luxeuil lace, As far as I was told were the tapes of this lace at the beginning made by hand. Today it’s machine lace like the others of this sort.

[lace] Line drawing for curved Regency bucks edging
Hello all, I picked an edging to challenge myself, and chose Alexandra Stillwell's arched Regency Bucks edging on page 159 of her "All About Making Floral Bucks Point Lace" book. It has a line drawing for the first "pearl" and the "beetles" but my lack of experience doesn't allow me to figure the thread movement for the second and third pearl on the arched part. Has anyone on the list worked a line drawing for a full repeat of this edging, or would be willing to do it? Many, many thanks in advance...

[lace] tape lace distinguishing features
Borris Lace and Branscombe lace both use a machine made straight tape. Like a tape made on the straight with whole or cloth stitch. Battenberg lace uses Battenberg tape which is courser and made on the cross grain so that it can be drawn up to fit the design curves by pulling the gathering thread that runs along the edge of the tape. Princess tapes can also be gathered up in this way. Borris and Branscombe tapes do not gather and must be whipped along the edge to gather up. Branscombe tape is all mounted and whipped to lie flat before working the fillings. Borris tape is drawn up while working the fillings. Hope this helps with understanding. Please ask questions if I have not adequately explained it.

RE: [lace] tape lace distinguishing features
Princes lace also uses leaf-shaped tapes (cut as necessary into separate leaves) and other tapes which have shape woven in ie. Shell/fan shapes on the edge of a tape. I think the others use only straight tapes. It tends to have fewer needle-lace fillings although they are worked in relatively fine thread. Luxieul lace is the name I could not remember earlier today. It is very similar to Branscombe, but lacks the Branscombe edge picots. The needle-fillings in Battenberg are usually very simple and made with coarse thread. Hope this helps as well.
