<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Northern Lights Lodge, post: 4282749, member: 13464&quot;]No worries... let&#039;s review: Photo #1 a delightful lot! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p>#2 - Machine embroidered; cannot call it Schliffli as all the fabric would have been &quot;eaten out&quot; by the chemical process. So, those little open squares may have been&nbsp; stamped out by machine just prior to stitching or just after...hence their somewhat frayed look.</p><p><br /></p><p>#3 - Machine made bobbin. Yes, I think you could correctly call it Cluny - it has the proper elements to be called such - the somewhat geometric design, the &quot;wheat leaves&quot;, the spiders...</p><p><br /></p><p>#4 - (top one with grapes) - a bit of an oddity. I like the design... it is machine embroidered; but unusual that the fabric is cotton. It is usually a little lighter weight fabric. The base part of it (the square grids) look like Schiffli produced; and then that cotton fabric/embroidery sewn on top. Hard to tell. All I can say for certain; is that it is a little unusual!</p><p><br /></p><p>(bottom ones) - I like to call that fairly narrow, dainty style - &quot;petticoat lace&quot; as it was often used in ladies undergarments and baby clothing. Sometimes chemise covers and Gibson Girl blouses. It IS machine made; but it is safe to call it &quot;machine made Valenciennes&quot; as the design elements are very close to hand produced Val lace. This type yardage usually sells very well!</p><p><br /></p><p>moving on to #5 - For lack of another name I&#039;d have to call it &quot;Rick Rack Lace&quot; - popular from the 30-50&#039;s...and designs were often featured in Workbasket magazine. The top rick rack one appears to have crocheted &quot;fillings&quot; to hold the rick rack together; whereas the bottom one appears to have needle created fillings - more like you might find in Battenberg laces.</p><p><br /></p><p>Overall fun pieces... they look usable and sellable! </p><p>Good luck!</p><p>Leslie[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
