It is an early form of what is now called punch needle embroidery. It basically makes loops of embroidery thread, yarn or even wool strips. It is done from the wrong side of the fabric base. Here are some links about what is currently available, with one describing it.

ETA: There was an improvement to embroidery attachment for sewing machine patented in 1869 https://patents.google.com/patent/US93480
There was a embroidery implement patent in 1885 https://patents.google.com/patent/US313770

My apologies for not including pictures, but you are correct in your guess. I really appreciate the links you provided, and it certainly appears that there's a high degree of trial and error involved. I have seen the final results of the punch needle embroidery, and it looks beautiful! I'll give it a whirl and see what happens.

Thanks again for your reply and informative links!
