UNITED STATES ATENT Erica' FREDERICK-H. HOLBROOK, OF`BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS.
RAISED EMBROIDERY.
' SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 293,877, dated February 19, 1884.
Application filed May 14,1883.
(No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FREDERICK H. Hoi.- ERooK, of Boston, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain Improvements in Raised Embroidery, of which the following isa specification.
My invention has for lits object to provide an improved ornamental article for use in embroidering to represent raised buds or flowers; and it consists in a piece of woven silk or other textile fabric folded to form a shell or body,'which, when applied to a surface to be ornamented, will stand out from said surface and constitute a raised ornament, the folds of the piece being secured together prior to their attachment to the said surface, so that thepiecewillretain its peculiar form, as I will now proceed to describe and claim.
Of the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, Figure l represents a vpiece of material such as I employ in making my improved embroidery. Figs. 2, 3, and 4 represent different stages of the operation of folding. Figs. 5, 6, and 7 represent, respectively, front, back, and edge views of the corn- Fig. 8 represents the same as applied to the surface to be ornamented.
The same letters of reference indicate the same parts in all the figures.
In carrying out my invention, I take a piece, a, of silk or other suitable fabric, which may be a waste scrap or remnant. The shape of the piece is preferably rectangular, although this is not essential. I fold the piece a, .as shown in Fig. 2, preferably along the line c d, Fig. 1. I then form a series of plaits or folds, ff, from near thefolded edge e to the opposite margin of the piece, making the first plaits at the center, as shown in Fig. 3,' and successively forming them at opposite sides of the center, as shown in Fig. 4, until all the material is disposed of in plaits, This. operation gradually bends the folded edge e to the oval or curved form shown in Figs. 5 and 6,'and also bends said edge backwardly, converting it into a marginal rim or iiange, which gives f the folded piece a thick and massive appearance and causes the plaits or folds to stand out in relief from the surface on which the piece slippers by manufacturers.
is laid.' After folding, as described, I secure the free ends of the folds or plaits together byf stitches i z', or by other suitable means, so as to retain the piece in the form imparted toit by the vfolding operation. .The article thus made is placed upon a piece of cloth or other Inater'ial to be ornamented, and secured there- I to by suitable embroidery stitches, which complete the design, the folded piece resem; bling, for example, the folded petals of a rosebud, and the embroidery-stitches the stem and otherpartsof the bud.' (See Fig. 8.) Thev themfrom being iiattened or crushed inwardly.
Heretofore a iiat piece of fabric has been secured to a cloth surface, so as to form a pocket, which has been stuffed with cotton to give it a raised surface, embroidery-stitch es being aft-erward added to complete the design. Such method involves more labor and does not produced such satisfactory results as mine, the cotton stuffing being flattened byuse, so that thefabric supported thereby does not retain the desired form. Y
-I some cases I prefer to finish the bud by adding thereto a calyx and stem, s, as shown inFig. 10, the same being stamped or einbossed from a thin piece of metal and provided with prongs s s2, Fig. 9, adapted to penetrate the material to which the bud is applied.
I,claim- 1. The improved embroidery material composed of a piece of fabric folded, as described,
to form a series of plaits, ff, and a marginal backwardly-turnedfolded edge, e, said plaits being secured together at their outer ends, as set forth. v y
2. Raised embroidery composed of a piece of fabric, a, folded to form a series of plaits,
f, and a baekwurdly-t-urned edge, c, :1nd eln- In testimony whereof Ilmve signed my name ro lnoidery-stitehes connecting said folded piece to this specification, in the presence of twosub to the surface to be ornzunented, as seb forth. seribing Witnesses, this 7th day of May, 18S3.
3. The raised embroidery, formed as described, and connected to the material to be FREDERICK H. HOLBROOK. ornzunented by embroidery stitches, combined with the molded or embossed ornaments, pro- Titnessesz vided with means for attachment to said ina- C. F. BROWN,
