<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Northern Lights Lodge, post: 2210141, member: 13464&quot;]Hi Houseful,&nbsp; Yes, true. The machines stitched (almost embroidered) the lacy part over a very gauzy background fabric and then the piece was given an acid bath to remove the gauzy bit. EVERY once in awhile, I have seen an older example with a little nub of the gauzy bit still visible. Fascinating really, and it allowed them to create very fancy looking laces without having to follow any &quot;specific&quot; lace design (ie: Chantilly, Beds, Bucks, Alencon, etc)... it allowed them the freedom to just build any sort of design on the gauzy bit. Pretty example that you posted! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Leslie[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
