Re: [lace] RE: Tape lace

Although it has some nice needlelace fillings I don’t think it’s from Branscombe. My understanding of Branscombe lace is that it always includes the little nibs on the bars and sometimes around the edge. Nibs are a type of picot made by working buttonhole stitches over a loop of thread.
