OASPAR' .I. JENNY, OF ST. GALL, SWITZERLAND, ASSIGNOR TO STRAUSS & 00., OF SAME PLACE.

EMBROIDERY.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 466,566, dated January 5, 1892. Application filed August 3, 1891. Serial No. 401,548. (No specimensd I To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, OAsPAR J. JENNY, a citizen of Switzerland, residing at St. Gall, in the Republic of Switzerland, have invented certain new and useful Embroidery, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a new and improved embroidery which is adapt and 2 represent front and b'ackchain-stitches of my improved embroidery. Fig. 3 shows said front and back chain-stitches united as they are in the embroidery. Fig.4: is a vertical transverse sectional view on the line A E of Fig. 3. Fig. 5 represents in lines the chain-stitches on one side of the fabric for a certain pattern. Fig. 6 represents in lines the chain-stitches for the same pattern on the opposite side of the fabric, and Fig. 7 represents in lines the chain-stitches of Figs. 5 and go 6 united in one'pattern. v

Similar letters of reference indicate corre sponding parts. A To produce a certain pattern of embroidery, a suitable piece of fabric, preferably a light 5 fabric, is stitched over upon one face with chain-stitches a, such as shown in Fig. 1, and according to a certain pattern-for example, as shown in Fig. 5. Then the same piece of the fabric is stitched over with chain-stitches 40 1) upon the other side or back, according to another corresponding pattern-as, for example, is shownin Fig. 6-and so that the back stitches serve as a means for uniting and holding the front stitches, and,vice versa',

5 the front stitches serve as a means for uniting and holding the stitches on the back. The

fabric upon which the stitches are made is destroyed by means of acids in any desired manner, as has hitherto been practiced with common loom-stitched goods or embroidery-work made in imitation of the lace. The patterns for the chain-stitches on the frontaud the patterns for the chain-stitches on the back must be so selected that the chain-stitches on the front and the chain-stitches on the back cross each 5 5 other and interlock and the back portion is united with the front portion by means of stitches extending partially through, so that when the fabric is destroyed in any known manner only the front and back chain-stitches 6:) will remain and will reciprocally support and bind each other. If, for example, no stitches were produced on the back of the fabric, the front stitches could easily be unraveled by simply pulling them. The back chain-stitch work does not only serve for the purpose of combining and holding the front stitches; but when the fabric is destroyed said back stitches appear and with the front stitches complete the fabric, as the design forthe front stitches and the design for the back stitches are each only a part of the design of the completed embroidery;

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- As a new article of manufacture, a chainstitch embroidery having front chain-stitches produced on lines representing one part of the design of the completed article and back chain stitches interlocking with the front chain-stitches and produced on lines representing the remaining part of the design of the completed article, substantially as set forth. 8

In testimony whereof I hereunto sign 7 my name, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses, this 10th day of July, 1891.
