<p>[QUOTE="bluumz, post: 8353275, member: 649"]I believe you have machine-made figural filet lace edging and insertion. Edging has a straight edge and a decorative edge (yours is scalloped) and is meant to be sewn along the edge of a hem to give a pretty finish. Insertion has a straight edge along both the top and bottom and is meant to be sewn ("inserted") between two panels of fabric.</p><p>As others have said, Northern Lights Lodge is our lace expert here. She doesn't usually check in daily so don't be discouraged if it takes a while for her to weigh in with her opinions. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Very pretty![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
