No, Susan. Herringbone stitch is used in both sewing and embroidery. It can be utilitarian or decorative. The zig zag reference is about the pattern of attaching lace edging to a square of fabric so it will look completely covered by lace. Instead of being attached in short straight rows, the lace is attached in a continuous trip, moving from side-to-side on gradual diagonals - as in zig zag.
