A device for stretching, aligning, and mounting fabric with a visible weave pattern, particularly needlepoint fabric, to a substrate prior to framing. This is done in such a way as to render the weave accurately square. This device or apparatus is comprised of a flat, square shaped, rigid sheet of material upon which the work to be stretched is placed. Along the perimeters of this rigid base is a wood fillet wrapped with a hook and loop fastening material upon which tabs made of reciprocating hook and loop fastening material are placed. Elastic cords extend across and over the needlepoint fabric to be stretched and are secured at each end by these tabs which are selectively placed along the wrapped wood fillet so as to produce a squared elastic grid. The accuracy of the square grid is made possible by the placement of a measurement system along the perimeters of the rigid base just inside the wrapped wood fillet. Since the encased wood fillet gives the elastic enough clearance above the needlepoint to be stretched, the visual guide provided by the elastic remains unmoved while the needlepoint underneath is pulled and stretched into alignment with them. The needlepoint fabric is secured to the substrate at this point and is ready for framing.

The specification discloses a kit for making latch hook rugs in which a hobbyist is provided with the necessary yarn, plain canvas instead of patterned canvas, and a separate pattern containing row and column grid instructions which tell the hobbyist which color yarn to put where on the plain canvas. The yarn provided is in substantial lengths which can be cut, using a provided gauge, into a plurality of shorter lengths appropriate for latch hooking.

Looped tufts of yarn are drawn through proximate openings in a foundation fabric from opposite sides of the fabric and are intertwined in pairs to form square knots that secure opposed tufts of yarn to each other and to the fabric strands separating the proximate openings. The free ends of each pair of knotted yarn tufts extend in opposite directions from opposite sides of the foundation fabric. Such knotted yarn tufts cover both sides of the foundation fabric and form piles on both sides thereof. Different colored yarn tufts may be used and may be arranged to form predetermined decorative patterns on both sides of the article. The patterns on opposite sides of the article can be the same or they can be entirely different.
摘要:
A method of producing shag pile fabric by forming a series of yarn loops around a looper which is then positioned onto a backing sheet; securing the series of yarn loops to the backing sheet by first stitching them along their center; then cutting one of the row of loops so formed so that the looper with the other row of loops may be moved over to the cut loops and across the stitching; securing with a second line of stitching the other row of loops to the backing sheet; cutting such other row of loops, freeing the looper; and thereafter repeating these steps over the entire backing to form the shag pile fabric.
