Double Cord Embroidering
The
following
two
paragraphs
describe
cord
embroi
dering with the use of the double cord guide (No. 2,
Fig. 5) and the spur plate with the oval spur hole
(No. 1, Fig. 5). These sensible attachments permit a
simplified type of embroidery, by which the embroi
dery hoops are moved merely by hand, while the cord
is covered by the lateral vibrations of the needle. The
attachments possess two hollow arms, which are made
so that one will accommodate thick, and the other
thin
cords.
Embroidery
work
produced
with
the
aid
of the attachment is by no means confined to the two
examples described below.
Scalloping (Fig. 64)
As in Madeira work a very tight bobbin thread ten
sion is used for scalloping. Stretch the material
smoothly
between
the
em
broidery hoops. Use a No. 9
needle
and
embroidery
cot
ton No. 50 or 60. The hoops
should be moved by hand to
follow
the
shape
of
the
scallops. The width of bight
must conform to the size of
the scallops and the thick
ness
of
the
thread
(pearl
cotton or cotton yarn), which
is
to
be
lead
through
the
double
cord
guide
(No.
2,
Fig.
5).
After
the
scallops
are sewn, the material below is cut away.
