work, and a thread-carrying looper located above the work and adapted to moveto and fro between the needles at an angle to thg line of feed. 1 c- "I In Fig. 1 I have shown conventionally two so needles and a thread-carrying looper arranged in operative relation, but the other parts above mentioned are omitted, since. the form no art of the present invention" an may be any well known or any pre ferred construction. Referring to the drawing by characters, A, A, represent two vertically moving needles, carrying threads 1 and 2 respectively,

To all whom it may concern: r

Be it lmhwn that I, HENRY H. Farnn, citizen of'the United States, and resident'of New York, in the county of N ew York and 5 State of New York,h ave invented certain new and useful Improvements in Seams for Sewed Articles, of which the following is a specification. a This invention relates to ed gs or seams, one of my princi' al objects being to produce a neat. and dura le covering for the edges of lace or other open-work or loosely woven material. It has been proposed. heretofore to apply 16 bindings or edgmgs to lace b first trimmingthe lace to the desired outline, then laying cords along such trimmed outline on one or both sides thereof, so that the open spaces on the pattern of the lace are bridged by a con- 20 tinuous bodyof material, and then joining the cords and lace together by an overseaming stitch. Such a method is disclosed in the latter dpreferably, being: of heavier or thicker bo y than the former. These two threads on" the upper surface of the oods B I show as two lines of stitching space apart, and on the under side of the goods (Fig. 2) as two series of concatenated loops, each 15 loop of thread 1 passing through the re viously-formerl loop in said thread as we as United States patent to S. 'Borton, No. through a roviously formed loop in thread 556,300, March 10, 1896, but in this case as 2. A third thread 3 is carried by a loops; 0 well as inall others, in so far as I am aware located above the Work and adapted to ass i the peculiar nature of the stitch and the to and fro between the needles at an ang e to manner of applying the same have necessithe line of feed (represented bly the'arrow in tated trimming in advance of sewing. Fig. 1), the 100 or crossing be ind needle A In accordance-with my invention, I clisand in front 0 needle A, and interlacing pense Withoords, tapes or the like, and form thread 3 with the loops of threads 1 and 2 as an ad f g by, a eculiar concatenation of clearly shown. threat reads whic I am enabled to apply to Fig, 1 shows several com letedi stitches the goodsby sewing through the same at any made through the oods, and several made 4 desired distance from the edge thereof, and by sewing over 1: e ed e in which case then finish off by triniiuing close to the needle A passes close tot e ed e of butd'oes threads; an obvious advantage. in wor 'ng not pierce the goods. In this figure the neogoods of loose weave or of open or fliins na tiles are re resented as descendin for a new ture. The nature of the stitch also admits of stitch, and as they pierce the goo sneedle A sewing over the edge-9* of previously will be in front of and needle A behind the lot) or C, and as the latter retreats loop a will be aft around said needle A laid across the goods to the other line of. stitching (thread 1) and under loop f of said thread. The needles now rising, the feed takes place and the looper "comes forward and again passes under thread 1 thereby The invention will be better understood by reference to the accompanying drawing, in which- Figure 1. is a perspective dia ammatic 5 view illustrating my invention; ig. 2 is an under lan view, also diagrammatic showing and thread 3' what use not appear in Fig. 1; Fig- 3 is a view showing an 'edgingapplied to a bit of lace or similar open wor material; Fig. 4 is 50 a view showing how two pieces of material .laid edge to edge may be united by my stitch.

In carrying out my invention I make use of two vertically moving needles, a loo or 55 and loop retainer, both located beneath he leaving a loop around the loop just formed a in thread 1, and continues on across" the goods and resents another loop to be taken off by nee e A. i l

i It will be observed that thread 3 is so plied that every needle loop threads is engaged thereby. No loops being ski pad the two lines are securely locked to-' get or both above andbeneath the goods,

Theherein described seanror edging for looselyjwoven fabrics comprising two para1- lei rows of stitching formed by two distinct threads "whose 100 s are interlinked on the underside of the fa ric by causin each loop of one of said threads to pass t rough the previousl formed loop of said thread as well as throng 1 the'previously formed loop of the other of said threads, in combination with a third thread which is laid in zig-zagiashion outer row of stitching wil across the upper surface of the oods fro1 one of said parallel rows of stitc g to the other and which forms a double series of open loops, every loop of the (inter row of stitching bein embraced by a correspondingly located 00) in one of said series of open loops formed by said third thread, and every loop of the inner row of said stitching being embraced b a corres ondingly located loo in the otlier series 0 0 en loops in said thir thread whereby every 00p of said be fastened to and supported by said inner line of stitching both above and below the goods.

Signed at New York in the county of New York and State of New York this 22nd day of December A. D. 1906.
