To au' fw'zom it may concern:

Be it known that I, RUDOLF Loi-1e, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Camden, Camden county, New Jersey, Ahave invented 'an Improved Process of Forming Embroidery-Stitches, of which the follow-y ing is a specification.

Mv invention relates to embroidery or the formation of raised stitches upon fabric forthe purpose of displaying thereon a derows; the stitches 2 being disposed at an angle with respect to the stitches 8 and the general lirection of that portion lof the design covered by the same. The embroidery may be of the character'fillustrated in Fig. 1, in which the .respective sets of stitches are in substantial parallelism and in Whichthe narrowing of by the raised stitches to follow the contour of the design is effected by moving'the fab! ric Without shortening the stitches 2. In the formation of a thin line, therefore, the stitches lie diagonally with respect to such line` and in general their position is-'diagonal with respect to the general line of direction of the figures formed by the design. In addition to this formation of the stitches,

invention consists of an improved process of effecting the application of such stitches to the fabric t0 define the desired design. This object and other details of my invention are more fully described hereinafter, reference being had to the laccompanying drawings of my invention, in which:

Figure l," is a view showing one form of stitch made in accordance iviththe process forming the subject of my invention; Figs. 9. and 3, are views illustrating other stitches, and Fig. 4, is a vieuY` of the under side of the fabric illustrating the loops of the' stitches shown in Fig. l.

In the process of forming this improved embroidery, I employ a machine having a needle mounted to vibrate; the movement of which lregulates the length' of the stitches, and in the operation of the machine carrying such needle-provision may be made for regulating theeXtent of vibration to determine the length of such stitches.

In operation, the needle is vibrated baclr and forth toward the operator, and the stitches may be laid very close together or Wide apart,- as the characterof design may suggestor require, and such disposal of the stitches is effected by the operator movingv the fabric; the needle vibrating inv a single plane. The fabric is moved laterally with respect to the movement of the needle, y

ing the needle a. short and long movement stitches to produce automatically gradually stitches as may be desired in the covering of the design, as shown in Fig. 3. On the under side of the fabric the loops of the stitches are caught by a shuttle thread.

In Fig. 1 of the drawings, 1 represents the fabric, 2 one set of parallelng stitches, 3 the other set of paralleling stitches. Fig. 2, the long stitches are indicated at Q, and the short stitches at Qa. In Fig` 3, the stitches are indicated at 2b. In all instances the stitches form loops 4 von the under side of the fabric, such as indicated in Fig. Ll; a shuttle thread 5 engaging such loo-ps,

I claim-t consists in laying, by a thread-carrying implement vibrating in a fixed path, a plurality'of sets of stitches upon a suitable fabric, the stitches of the respective-sets substantially paralleling each other, and manually moving the fabric in any desired direction with respect to the` said vibrating threadcarrying implement.

9.. The process of. embroidering, which consists in laying, by a thread-carrying implement laterallyA vibrating in a fixed although such movement may be accompa nied by a movement. almost in line with the movement of the vibrating needle. rEhe resultant of these tivo movements is indicated the stitches formed, Which are laid or disposed diagonally with respect to the gcneral direction of that portion of the design filled by the same. a plurality of sets of stitches diagonally In their'F formation, the stitches 2r, and 3 with respect to each other upon a suitable may be laid in two substantially p-aralleling, "fabric, the stitches of. the respective sets f the embroidery portion formed i they may be formed short and long by givlengthened stitches and gradually shortened l l. The process -of embroidering, which l path,
