Filed:

Jun 27, 1986

Appl. No.:

6/879424

Inventors:

Julian H. Glenn - High Point NC
Douglas J. Glenn - Wallburg NC

International Classification:

D05B 312

US Classification:

1122651

Abstract:

This invention relates to a novel method and apparatus for making novel decorative fabrics wherein effect yarns are present on the fabric with the effect yarn being fed in a longitudinally compressed bulked condition imparting an expanded cross-sectional width to the effect yarn and wherein a stitching thread secures the effect yarn in the compressed bulked condition so that there is imparted to the fabric an appearance attendant to an effect yarn much larger than that actually present on the fabric.

Filed:

Mar 6, 1990

Appl. No.:

7/489878

Inventors:

Douglas J. Glenn - Wallburg NC

Assignee:

Sewing Center Supply Co., Inc. - Portland OR

International Classification:

D05C 708

US Classification:

1122661

Abstract:

A method for the production of decorative fabrics having flat narrow fabrics stitchingly secured in a longitudinally compressed convoluted condition to a substrate or devoid of a substrate. The narrow fabrics are such as lace, ribbon, braid or tape. The narrow fabric is guided into the path of a conventional reciprocating sewing needle whereby the needle on each downward stroke strikes the narrow fabric and advances it in a compressed convoluted condition toward the needle plate whereupon the fabric is attached in its compressed convoluted condition.

Assignee:

Sewing Center Supply Co., Inc. - Portland OR

International Classification:

D05B 3500

US Classification:

112147

Abstract:

Apparatus and a method enable the production of novel decorative fabrics having flat narrow fabrics stitchingly secured in longitudinally compressed substrate. The narrow fabrics are such as lace, ribbon, braid or tape. The apparatus and method function so as to guide a narrow fabric into the path of a conventional reciprocating sewing needle whereby the needle on each downward stroke strikes the fabric and advances it in a compressed convoluted condition toward the needle plate whereupon the fabric is stitched in its compressed convoluted condition to a substrate or devoid of a substrate.
