RICHARD G. MARSH, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

GARMENT-TRIMMING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 656,559, dated August 21, 1900.

Application filed January 30,1900. Serial No. 3,357. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, RICHARD G. MARSH, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Fabric,of which the followingis afull, clear,and exact description.

This invention relates to a fabric as a new and improved article of manufacture; and the object is to provide a fabric with a plait or a number of plaits, the said plait or plaits being scalloped along the free edge instead of having the usual straight edge, the scallops being outlined by stitching, which serves to hold the plait in position.

I will describe a fabric embodying my invention and then point out the novel features in the appended claim.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of thisspecification, in which similar characters of reference.indicate corresponding parts mall the figures.

Figure l is a plan view of a piece of fabric embodying my invention and illustrating certain steps or operations in its production. Fig. 2 is a plan view showing a strip of the fabric as completed, and Fig. 3 isa section on the line 3. 3 of Fig. 2.

In the manufacture of the article the fabric 1 is turned upon itself, as indicated at 2 in Fig. 1, and then the material isstitched through by a scalloped or Wave-like line of stitching 3. stitching asin the form of herring-bone stitching; but it is to be understood that I do not I have here shown the line of confine my invention thereto. After stitching the plait the portions 4 are to be cut out, and when the material is turned to the position indicated in Fig. 2 the plait rests over the body portion of the fabric, and it will be seen that the stitching 3 holds the plait in position. Each scallop is open at its top or in the form of a pocket, as indicated at 5 in Fig. 3. Obviously there may be any desired number of plaits in a piece of material and any desired ornamental stitching may be placed between the plaits. In ordinary plaits having a straight edge the stitching is to be placed on the line indicated at a) in Fig. 2. This line 00, however, in Fig. 2 is designed in the present instance to indicate the folded edge of the material.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- As a new article of manufacture a fabric folded upon itself to form a plait, the folded parts being stitched together by a wave-like line of stitching, the portion between the stitching and the folded edge being removed forming a scalloped edge for the plait outlined by the stitching which serves to hold the plait in position over the body portion of the fabric, substantially as specified.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.

RICHARD G. MARSH.
