GUIDO VON I-IORVATH, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.

EMBROIDERY OUTFIT.

Application filed May 20, 1915.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, Goino VON IIoRvii'rrI, residing at 911 South Fifty-ninth street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, a subject of the King of Hungary, have invented an Embroidery Outfit, of whichthe following is a specification.

It is the object of my present invention to provide an outfit for improved designing and embroidery work whereby the most unskilled worker can produce the most artistic and complex patterns of embroidery work of all kinds. 7

The special and novel phases of the inventionherein disclosed will be better understood by reference to the following detailed description which is to be taken in connection with the accompanying drawings wherein Y vFigure 1 shows a plan of the scallop marker provided with a set of illustrative sizes. Fig. 2 shows a side elevation of the scallop marker. F 3 shows the scallop marker in position on the fabric in use. Fig. 4 shows one means of fastening the scallop marker at the center of the fabric so that it may move around like a compass. Fig. 5 shows an illustrative doily or centerpiece with scallops and embroidery designs in place as made by means of the scallop marker and stencil designs.

In devising my invention I have sought to provide means whereby embroidery work will not only be simplified but rendered more economical and attractive. Heretofore paper transfer patterns have been necessary and the patterns have been transferred to the fabric either by hot irons or rubbing after which those patterns could seldom be used; whereas the scallop marker and stencils provided with my outfit can be used indefinitely.

In carrying out my invention I first pro vide my improved scallop marker of some transparent material such as celluloid which will permit easy fitting of the scallops. This scallop marker is best seen in Fig. 1. I make my scallop marker preferably in foldable sections providing pivotal connections like shown at 10 whereby the scallop marker may be folded like a ruler except that itfolds by means of a pivotal connection ratherthan hin 'edly although hinges may be used. I have illustrated in Fig. 1 a size of scallop marker which will enable the marking of scallops on any material in nine Specification of Letters Patent.

different and most popular sizes, ranging from a six-inch doily to a thirty-six-inch centerpiece. At intervals throughout the handle part of the scallop marker I provide openings 11 whereby the pin, as shown in Fig. l, may be inserted for fastening at the center of the fabric as will be hereinafter explained. The marker end 12 contains the scallop designs 13 varying in sizes according to the size of the material being worked and varying in number according to the number of sizes intended to be made with the one scallop marker.

In practice I first fold the material being worked once, carefully crease it, fold a second time, then crease again, whereby the center of the goods will have been indicated and the fabric divided in four exact sections.

I then mark the center with a dot by means of a soft pencil, then stretch the material on a table or board and either pin it to paper or weight it on the corners to hold it firmly. I then take the pin 14 as shown in Fig. i and attach it through an opening 11, at the center of the goods which has been located like shown at 15 in Fig. 3 adjusting the guiding rod or handle according to the size of doily, centerpiece or other fabric desired. For instance, if a fifteen-inch centerpiece is being worked, the pin should he slipped through the notch marked 15 on'the guiding rod. The scallop 15 will then come at the desired place at the outer edge of the goods, the marker then moves around the fabric like a compass giving a perfect circle. It is preferable to start with the marker next to one of the creases and with a soft pencil mark the scallops 111L1K6l 15 moving forward one at a time like shown at 16 in Fig. 3. It will readily be understood that this scalloper can be used for dresses and lingerie as easily and as well as for doilies, centerpieces and the like and my scallop marker can be made for all sorts of purposes and with all kinds of designs and I do not wish to be limited to the sizes and designs shown which is illustrative only and intended to show the construction and method and operation of my scallop marker generally.

In Fig. 5 I have brought together an illustration. The scallops 17 there shown may be made with the scallop marker. The eyelet work 18 may be made by means of stencils. The special design 19 may be made by means of stencils. It will be apparent that by means of the use of other of my improved stencils of different designs, initials, monograms or the like could be provided in the illustration Fig. 5 from which it will be seen that by the use of my improved scallop marker and stencils anyone can take my embroidery outfit and provide for themselves an endless arrangement of designs for any class of fabric from the simplest doilies, centerpieces and handkerchiefs to the most elaborate dress.

In carrying out my invention 1 contemplate that it will be possible, convenient and desirable to provide a large number of different sizes and designs of both the stencils and scallop markers for what may be termed popular, standard and stock sizes and. designs but special sizes and designs can easily and at moderate cost be made to order.

While I have herein disclosed one embodiment of the present invention I am aware that changes in detail may be made both in materials, sizes and designs without deviating tirom the spirit of my invention and I desire that the protection herein sought should include such changes and modifications .in detail as reasonably may be made within the terms of the appended claims.

Having fully described my invention what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is- 1. An embroidery outfit comprising a seallop marker of transparent material arranged in sections pivotally connected, having a guide rod with numbered notches, a marker end with cut out scallops numbered to correspond with the numbered notches on the guide rod the number at which the guide rod is fastened to the fabric indicating the number at the marker end where the scallop is to be outlined and a pin for attaching to the fabric.

2. An embroidery outfit comprising a celluloid sectional hingedly connected scallop marker, ha *ing a guide rod provided with a plurality of numbered notches, a marker end having a plurality of numbered scallop designs the number at which the guide rod is fastened to the fabric indicating the number at the marker end where the scallop is to be outlined. 7

In witness whereof, li hereunto subscribe my name to this specification.
