<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Northern Lights Lodge, post: 1479947, member: 13464&quot;]Hi Scoutshouse; No, your pictures are of pure hand made bobbin lace. (albiet the &quot;backside&quot;. It isn&#039;t pulled work; as pulled work is based upon a single piece of fabric that you snip and &quot;pull&quot; threads and then do needle work to bind remaining threads into a pattern. I don&#039;t even think I&#039;d call it; tape lace - I think I&#039;d call it &quot;Cluny&quot; lace.</p><p><br /></p><p>Battenburg is a lace formed of machine made tapes (sometimes with openwork) that are basted down to a printed fabric or paper pattern. Then it is hand worked to add fancy work stitches to hold all the tapes together. More of what I&#039;d call a &quot;hand assembled&quot; form of lace. There are many names for different styles of Battenburg; but they are all created the same way in various weights of tapes and fancy work stitches.</p><p><br /></p><p>Leslie[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
