The Cornely (chainstitch) embroidery machine was developed for production in the 1888s to automate a popular hand stitch where the needle penetrates the fabric, comes back up through a loop of thread and proceeds in this fashion to create a chain of thread. These machines are still in use today for "fancy stitch" embroidery.
A modern embroidery machine uses two threads - a top thread and a bottom (bobbin) thread which lock together as a series of stitches is sewn. This type of machine can't make a true chainstitch, but it is possible to simulate the look of one. For this monogram style we have simulated a chainstitch, and to provide a bit more density for towels and thick fabrics there are two parallel runs of these stitches making up the parts of each letter. They are carefully crafted to maintain a handmade look.

This monogram style is inspired by an American folk art movement known as "Tramp Art". Intricately carved woodworking projects (mirrors, frames, boxes) were produced by traveling craftsmen in the late 19th and early 20th Century. Influenced by German and Scandinavian religious styles, tramp art frames featured crossed elements at the corners, with all edges carefully notched. Our letters are done in satin stitch, with an intricate contrasting border done in a special stitch.

This monogram style is digitized from early 1930s artwork. Each letter is an unusual satin stitch ladderback design, and is contained within a simple stylized satin stitch vine "crest", with a ring embellishment as an accent at the bottom. The letters would be interesting used alone. You can either delete the vine and ring (which sew first) in your embroidery software program, or skip past Color 1 and Color 2 on the machine.

The artwork for this monogram style is French - from the 1930s. The leaf motif outline is done in satin stitch, as are the letters. The interior leaf fill is a manual seed stitch. In order to provide maximum creative color potential that element is digitized as three passes - in three different colors. Our sewn sample shows how this can look with orange, light green, and yellow gold treads. For a simpler result you can use the same thread color for all three - or sew just the outline by skipping over the fill colors. However it's done this two-letter monogram has a sophisticated look.
