Is that something any 4 thread serger can do? Or is it a specialty machine? Teena

I think your best bet there is to get an antique machine that sews with a chain stitch. I actually had a toy machine at one point that was a chain stitch, but it would lose alignment easily. Chain stitch, or tambour embroidery was popular in the 1780s. It's thought to have originated in India. There is a beautiful Indian robe at the Victoria & Albert Museum, from the early 18th century. -Carol _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
