Lots of laces are worked to a grid. All of the point ground family -
Bucks, Lille, etc, also the Flemish yardage laces, Mechlin,
Valenciennes, Flanders etc are grid laces, and also Maltese and
Beds-Maltese and to a lesser extent floral Bedfordshire needs a grid to
get regular pattern repeats.

I was given to believe that Torchon Lace was 'Beggars Lace', due to
the fact that torchon was the only lace the 'more normal' (rather than
the 'elite') could afford! Nowhere have I seen that it was an easy
lace to master, but it's one of the few laces to be worked to a 'grid'
isn't it?
