by Ineke van den Kieboom & Anny Huijben

Tape lace, in a multitude of forms, flourished in the 19th century and beyond, in many countries throughout the world, but declined after the First World War. This extensive study, brings together the extensive historical research by Ineke van den Kieboom and the lacemaking expertise of Anny Huijben to take a fresh look at these attractive laces.

After a section on the origins and development of the various tape laces, the majority of the book sets out in detail, the methods, stitches and techniques involved. Exercise patterns are included and a chapter on Princess lace gives full instructions for combining tape and tulle.
