US Patent No. 322,582, granted July 21, 1885 to Emil Cornely of Paris, describes a way to imitate bead embroidery by using an embroidering or sewing machine to wind a narrow strip of shining leather, cloth, patent leather or metal around the stitch thread. The strip lies in successive spirals on lace or other fabric and is held by the machine stitch, giving a cheap substitute for beadwork. The scan has a drawing sheet with two figures and a one-page specification with two claims. It refers to Cornely's earlier patents of 1880 and 1882 for the thread-winding mechanism.
