METHOD F FORMING TEXTILE NETWORK Y Edward Jumonville, New Orleans, La. y Application December 9, 1932. SerialvNo. 646,427

2 Claims. (C1. 11B-262) This invention relates to methods of forming stitching 2. The latter should be spaced apart network, particularly to that used in the manuaccording to the size of the meshes desired. For facture or inops. instance, if the meshes are to be 11/2 inches The object of the invention is, however, to prosquare, the rows of cross stitching then should y 5 vide apractical method for economically producbe 1% inches apart. A lock stitch which will 60 ing large quantities of network adapted to vari not unravel should be used and it may be deous uses. sirable to re-iniorce the stitching with tape 3. It
