Improvements in and connected with Embroidery, Needlework,
or the like.
I, GEORGE FREDERICK REDFERN, of the Firm of G. F. Redfern & Co.,
The General Patent Office, No. 4, South Street, Finsbury, in the County of
London, Patent Agents, do hereby declare the nature of this invention (a
communication to me by Krautheimer & Co., of 5, Hallstrasse, Fuerth, in
the Kingdom of Bavaria, and Empire of Germany, Manufacturers) to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to embroidery, needlework or the like, and has for its
object to render the application or transferring of a design to the surface to be
embroidered and the subsequent use of a foundation, which is frequently employed
for the purpose of raising the design, unnecessary.
In carrying out the invention I employ a filling in the form of a design or
pattern cut or stamped out of a material which is not injured by water when the
embroidered article is being washed and which will be at the same time soft and
pliable. In embroidering the letters, design, pattern or the like are simply laid
upon the surface to be ornamented and covered with stitches of silk, or other
material laid over the same.
The said fillings are advantageously made of cellulose or of a fibrous material
formed into sheets which are stamped or cut to the desired pattern or design.
If desired the fillings may be covered with silk or other material before being
applied to the fabric.

1, GEORGE FREDERICK REDFERN, of the Firm of G. F. Redfern & Co., The
General Patent Office, No. 4 South Street, Finsbury, in the County of London,
Patent Agents, do hereby declare the nature of this invention (a communication to
me by Krautheimer & Co., of 5, Hallstrasse, Fuerth, in the Kingdom of Bavaria,
and Empire of Germany, Manufacturers) and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement :-
This invention relates to embroidery, needlework or the like, and has for its
object to render the application or transferring of a design to the surface to be
embroidered and the subsequent use of a foundation, which is frequently employed
for the purpose of raising the design, unnecessary.
In carrying out the invention I employ a "filling" in the form of a design or
pattern cut or stamped out of a material which is not injured by water when the
embroidered article is being washed and which will be at the same time soft and
pliable. In embroidering, the letters, design, pattern or the like are simply laid

page_text: upon the surface to be ornamented and covered with stitches of silk, or other
material laid over the same.
In practice the said fillings are advantageously made of cellulose or of kindred
fibrous material formed into sheets which are stamped or cut to the desired pattern
or design.
If desired the fillings may be covered with silk or other material before being
applied to the fabric.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. The use in embroidering, of a filling design cut or stamped out of a material
not injured by water substantially as and for the purposes described.
2. The manufacture and use of fillings for embroidery cut or stamped out of
cellulose or kindred fibrous material substantially as hereinbefore described.
