In regard to tape laces of c. 1640, none of those tapes would have been machine made. Even straight tapes and shoe laces would have been hand loomed or made with bobbins. What kind of loom, I don't know. Machine woven cloth (or tapes) did not exist until the late 1700s. I've seen the kind of tapes Devon is talking about. Lorelei
