Dear Susan  Topic is straying away from lace.  Not all Japanese Kogin embroidery qualifies.  Depends on how repeats are used.  Traditionally added beauty to heavy duty work clothes made of an even weave fabric.  Reminds me of the original use of smocking - on heavy work smocks/shirts worn by men.  Work clothing with a beautiful embellishment that added some shaping flexibility.  Some men were so proud of these, that they wore them on special occasions, including to church.  Now that I look at the words smock/smocking, I realize why the embroidery technique got the name !
