The subject of the present invention is the production of a new ornamental stitch
which is obtained by winding a thread around a Cord or thread and around the seam
of a sewing or Embroidering machine.
In Figs. 1 and 2 of the accompanying drawing I have represented the method of
making the stitch. D represents the nipple tube of an embroidering machine, Cits
nipple; E the needle bar; B the needle; G the revolving thread carrier, which by
its continuously revolving motion winds its thread around the needle and around the
needle thread I; H represents a Cord or thread which passes down through the
central tube of the machine and which is guided downward to the Cloth through &
guide a behind the needle; K the thread of the thread carrier G.
When the Cord or thread H is laid on the material and when the machine is set in
operation, the thread carrier G by its rotary motion around the needle B lays its
thread K around the cord H and around each loop of the thread I, which is drawn
upward by the needle book B, and the Cord or thread H is thus fastened to the stitch
as shown at figs. 1 and 2. When the Cord or thread H passes down through the
machine without any tension or strain on it it will cover the chain stitch, but when a
certain tension is applied to the Cord or thread H, and when the thread K is slackened,
the Cord H upon making small curves will appear inside the Chain stitch seam I as
represented on fig. 3.
When the needle hook B is raised it will draw longer loops above the Cloth and the
loops of the Chain stitch I will be slackened; upon tightening the thread K it will
draw the slack loops of the chain stitch I against the cord H, and as the threads of
said loops pass through the cloth at the points they are held at said points and thus

page_text: is produced the embroidering stitch represented at fig. 4. By still more raising the
needle hook B the Chain stitch loops I become still looser and the ornamental seam
represented at fig. 5 is produced, which consists substantially of a Cording work from
which small lines extend in a transversal or radial direction.
It is evident that the same work can be obtained by means of a sewing machine on
which a threaded needle is employed such as is represented at fig. 2.

page_text: I, EMILE CORNELY Manufacturer residing at Paris 80, rue Taitbout, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
The subject of the present invention is the production of a new ornamental stitch
which is obtained by winding a thread around a cord or around a thread and around
the seam of a sewing or Embroidering machine.
Figs. 12 and 3 represent said seams on an enlarged scale.
Figs. 4 and 5 represent the organs of a sewing or Embroidering machine for
producing the stitch.
Fig. 6 represents the embroidery full size.
In fig. 4 A, represents the cloth; B the needle; which is secured to the needle
bar E and which plays within the nipple c, which latter is secured to the nipple
tube D. The needle hook B, by well known means produces the chain stitch I.
G represents a revolving thread carrier which makes a revolution around the needle
at each stitch of the machine and thus winds its thread K around the needle or around
its seam at each stitch of the machine.
H represents a thread or a cord which descends along the needle and nipple tube
through a guide a, downward to the cloth A. As the thread K of the revolving
thread carrier G is wound around the seam I and around the thread or cord H the
latter is secured to the said seam and to the cloth.
When the needle hook B is set very low it makes a tight seam which is then
entirely covered by the cord H if the latter is fed downward very loosely without any
tension, but if on the contrary, a certain tension is applied to the cord and if the
thread K, is slackened an embroidery will be produced as represented at fig. 1, where
upon making small or short curves, the thread or cord H will appear inside the chain
stitch I and the thread K wound loosely around both of them.
Upon raising the hook Bit will draw upward longer loops, and upon tightening
the tension of the thread K, the latter will draw said loops against the thread or
cord H and will produce an embroidery represented fig. 2. Upon still raising the
needle B the loops of the thread I drawn upward will be still longer and when drawn
tightly against the cord H will produce an inner line H from which small lines b
extend in a transversal or radial direction as represented fig. 3.
The beauty of the work will be obtained chiefly by making small round or small
curves as represented figs. 1, 2, 3 and 6, the latter showing the embroidery in full size.

page_text: Fig. 5 represents the organs of a sewing machine for executing the same work, wherein
the same letters represent the same organs as above described.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is --
An ornamental embroidery seam composed substantially of a central seam from
which small lines extend in a radial direction and obtained by winding a thread
around the seam of a sewing or embroidering machine and around a cord, which is
supplied to said machine substantially as herein described.
