Abstract (en)

[origin: US5111758A] A row of at least two coherent cruciform elementary patterns of stitches is formed in a zig-zag sewing machine by first making a first series of at least two zig-zag stitches and by thereupon making a second series of at least two zig-zag stitches which are mirror images of the stitches of the first series and each of which crosses a different stitch of the first series of stitches. The needle is caused to penetrate into the work in the middle of the first or last stitch of the first series of stitches prior to making the second series of stitches. Each stitch of the first and second series of stitches includes at least one uninterrupted length of thread. Only one crossing point of the stitches which form the first and second series is located at a needle perforation point. The first row of at least two cruciform elementary patterns can be followed by any desired number of additional rows in any desired orientation to form ornamental or other arrays of rows of cruciform patterns.
