Amazing and wonder just how long it would have taken to work such a huge border? Does anyone know of a video demonstrating the process of attaching a needlelace border to linen fabric. I guess with a straight edge like this, one would draw a thread in the linen and attach by sewing with matching thread and a three sided stitch, but how would one attach an undulating/curved border of corded Brussels?

I hope you are all staying safe and healthy indoors during these strange times. I'm doing a little bit of research into this lace-trimmed tablecloth and was wondering if any of our Czech community could tell me anything about it: https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/229528?searchField=All&sortBy=Relevance&deptids=12&when=A.D.+1900-present&where=Czechoslovakia&ft=lace&offset=0&rpp=20&pos=1 <https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/229528?searchField=All&sortBy=Relevance&deptids=12&when=A.D.+1900-present&where=Czechoslovakia&ft=lace&offset=0&rpp=20&pos=1> Having done some quick preliminary research it looks like the donor Ludmila Brumlik may have been a Czech doctor who emigrated to Montclair, NJ. I'm very interested in trying to figure out the region where this may have been made, or even a potential maker? Any leads are much appreciated!
