For Kathleen Edmonds via Mark ka Tatman, My dictionary of lace by Pat Earnshaw says " Battenburg - A form of renaissance lace, giving the appearance of a floppy edging made up of big loops of tape caught together by 'spiders' or by tenuously twisted braids. It was used for the borders of afternoon teacloths around 1900 and was a favourite pastime in the USA. Hope this helps, Sue M Harvey Norfolk UK
