Embroidered lace is embroidered on a base using a needle. The base varies according to the type.

Many techniques use a net, either woven or knotted. The net varies:

• Woven fabric with threads removed to make a grid (Reticella, Buratto)
• Machine made hexagonal net (Limerick, Needlerun net, Tambour)
• Knotted square net (either hand-made or machine-made) (Filet)

Sol laces are embroidered in a circular pattern on radiating spokes of threads. These include Tenerife lace and Ñandutí lace.

• 19C Limerick lace wedding veil
• Filet lace being worked.
• Tambour lace from Lier
• Ñandutí lace from Asunción Paraguay
• Tenerife lace
