TEMPLATE, TOOL
Metal templates used for creating Tufted Wool Embroidery sometimes called Amish Stumpwork or plushwork which was very popular in the Victoria era. These metal templates, designed in the 1930s, were a method of creating a novelty form of pile embroidery which was quicker and easier than the traditional embroidery stitches of velvet stitch and Ghiordes knot (also known as Turkey stitch or Turkey work). “The ‘SEW-SEW’ Embroidery Templates” kit has 4 different tin(?) metal templates - (a&b) 2 flowers, (c) one circle, (d) one leaf, plus (e ) a 2 page instruction leaflet. Manufactured by H. Peyton, 274 Burton Road, Derby, UK.
Metal shapes are placed on a piece of cloth and then covered with layers of woollen threads worked in a satin stitch, going down on one side and up again on the same side right next to the previous stitch - long threads on the front of work and tiny stiches on back. The layers can be worked in different colours to create shaded work. The wool is then cut down through the middle of the stitches, leaving a pile in the shape of the template, with a gap in the middle. The metal template is then removed.
