@practicallettering: Chain stitch embroidered script is handwritten, but not in the way you might think. These industrial embroidery machines have a handle underneath that lets the operator draw lettering directly onto the fabric. They’re old enough to get the classic: “My grandma had one of those!” but they’re specialty machines, and they’re harder to find than you’d think. Part 2 of a short series on what makes chainstitch embroidered script so special. #chainstitchembroidery #vintagelettering #chainstitch #vintagebowlingshirt

You used to get your Disney ear hats embroidered with these machines. Also big on western wear.

I have a Kenmore from 1970 which does a chain stich. I know it will do free motion but I've never tried it with the chain stitch. Now, I'm going to have to see if it will work.
