Jane -- As I understand it the technique of attaching strips of Chantilly or other laces together, to make a large object, is called "point de raccroc" (spelling??) It attempts to imitate the same thread path as the ground, but there is no overlap. Lassen overlaps the end of the lace onto the beginning. Lorelei

Thanks for the background information. Lassen and lace are "tied together" in origin. I like words.
