摘要:
A method of stitching a sewable material, which method includes the steps of: providing a support with a surface; providing a first sheet material with first and second sides; adhering the first side of the first sheet material to the surface of the support; adhering the sewable material to the second side of the first sheet material; and performing a stitching operation on the sewable material with the first sheet adhered to the surface of the support and the sewable material adhered to the first sheet. An adhesive on the first sheet, with a tackiness that increases upon being exposed to a reactant, is used to at least one of a) adhere the first side of the first sheet material to the surface of the support and b) adhere the sewable material to the second side of the first sheet material. The method further includes the step of exposing the adhesive to the reactant before the adhesive is used to at least one of a) adhere the first side of the first sheet material to the surface of the support and b) adhere the sewable material to the second side of the first sheet material.

A method of adorning an article including the steps of: providing a first layer; cutting the first layer along a first border edge that surrounds a discrete piece of the first layer; separating the discrete piece of the first layer from a remaining portion of the first layer to thereby produce a void within the first border edge; providing a pre-formed insert piece configured to fit within the void and having a second border edge having a shape that conforms to a shape of at least a portion of the first border edge; directing the insert piece into the void with the void and insert piece pre-aligned so that the second border edge is placed against or immediately adjacent to the first border edge where the first and second border edge shapes conform; with the insert piece directed into the void, fixing the insert piece and remaining portion of the first layer together to define an adornment assembly; and integrating the adornment assembly into an article to adorn the article.
摘要:
The combination of: a first apparel article having a sheet layer defining a first exposed surface; a first substrate layer having a perimeter edge; a second substrate layer having a perimeter edge; a first design piece comprising thread that is formed to produce at least a part of a first viewable design and having a perimeter edge; and a second design piece having thread that is formed to produce at least a part of a second viewable design and having a perimeter edge. The first and second design pieces have a different appearance. Each of the first and second design pieces is selectively attachable to the first exposed surface of the first apparel article in relationship to either one of the first and second substrate layers in the same manner such that a selected one of the first and second substrate layers extends beyond the perimeter edge of a selected one of the design pieces to define a frame surface at least partially around the perimeter edge of the selected one of the design pieces.
摘要:
An adorned article having a first layer with an exposed surface, and adornment on the first layer that is exposed for viewing. The adornment has a first edge with a predetermined shape that is defined on at least one of: a) the first layer; and b) a second layer associated with the first layer. The adornment further has a second edge that is spaced from the first edge. The first and second edges are defined by materials that have a tendency to fray at the first and second edges. The first and second edges are treated to produce visible fraying with strands that are spaced and/or intermingled.
摘要:
A method of providing an article to meet an actual or anticipated demand for the article. The method includes the steps of: providing an article having an exposed surface defined by at least one substrate layer; providing a first adornment layer; tack stitching the first adornment layer fixedly to the at least one substrate layer with thread at at least first and second discrete locations on the first adornment layer so that the article has a first appearance; stocking the article with the first appearance to meet an actual or anticipated demand for the article having the first appearance; changing the appearance of the article from the first appearance to a second appearance; and making the article with a second appearance available to meet an actual or anticipated demand for the article. The step of changing the appearance of the article from the first appearance involves the steps of: releasing the tack stitching at the at least first and second discrete locations to allow the first adornment layer to be separated from the article; separating the first adornment layer from the article; providing a second adornment layer; and attaching the second adornment layer fixedly to the article.
摘要:
A bobbin case assembly having a wall structure mountable upon a support, a bobbin for a supply of thread, and a tensioning element for engaging thread projecting from a supply of thread on the bobbin. The tensioning element has a length and a circumferential surface against which thread can be wrapped so that a frictional resistance force can be generated between the thread and circumferential surface that resists drawing of thread off of the supply. The tensioning element has a configuration that limits lengthwise shifting of a spirally wrapped portion of thread wrapped against the circumferential surface.
