Application July 8, 1937, Serial No. 152,525

3 Claims.

This invention relates to an improved method of producing an appliqud article.

In general, it Vis an object of this invention to provide, an appliqud article of apparel or the like, wherein the applied material carried on the background is treated to form a uffy tufted or pile-like fibre formation against a solid background.

Specifically, it is an object of this invention to provide an appliqud article of apparel or the like, wherein the applied fabric is attached to the background by shirr stitching, to provide an undulating effect of the applied fabric andY the threads at the edges of the applied fabric, `separated so as to produce a tufted or pile-like effect against the background.

Further, it is an object of this invention to apply a fabric cut on the bias, so that the threads thereof areY angularly disposed with respect to its edges, to a background as by shirr stitching, to provide an undulating effect of the applied fabric, and thereafter acting on the edges of the applied fabric to loosen and separate the respective angularly disposed threads to form a tufted or pile-like effect.

These and other advantages, capabilities and features of the invention will appear from the subjoined detailed description of one specific embodiment thereof illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which- Figure 1 is a plan view of a fabric strip applied in accordance with my invention.

Figure 2 is a plan View of an appliqud article for apparel formed in Vaccordance with my invention.

Figure 3 is a plan View of the appliqud article shown in Figure 2 after treatment.

Figure 4 is a plan View of a different design of appliqud article, treated in accordance with my invention.

Figure 5 is a front elevation, taken in section along lines 5 5 of Figure 3.

Referring to the reference characters in the drawing, numeral IIl represents the fabric background and II represents the applied fabric of an appliqud article, the said applied fabric being cut on the bias, so that the warp and woof threads I2 and I3 are angularly disposed with the nature of a stitch formation being indicated at I5, so that the applied fabric strip may have an undulating effect; a series of such fabric strips as applied to a background being shown in Figure 2 of the drawing.

The strips of applied fabric I I of the appliqud article, shown in Figure 2, are then subjected to treatment as by brushing or rubbing, whereby the interlocking warp and Woof threads I2 and I3 are separated from one another, from the edges of the applied fabric II towards and to the shirr-stitch line I5, thereby producing a series of individually extending threads in a tufted or piled effect, shown more particularly in Figures 3 and 5.

As shown in Figure 4, the appliqud fabric II, instead of comprising a series of independent strips, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, may be in the form of a continuous strip wound in the manner therein specied and fastenedl by shirr stitching to the background Ill, the Warp and Woof threads thereof being separated by brushing or rubbing to form the tufted piled effect disclosed.

Although two forms are shown of the appliqud article produced by my method, it is within the province of this invention to provide various conformations of fabric applied to and fastened to 4the background, so long as the same are cut on a bias with the warp and Woof threads being angularly disposed with respect to the cut edges thereof, whereby, upon brushing, rubbing or in any other way treating the edges of the applied bias cut fabric, separation of the warp and Woof threads may be caused to produce the artistic tufted or piled effect described.

It is obvious that various changes and modi-1 fications may be made to the details of construction without departing from the general spirit oi the invention as set forth in the appended claims.

I claim:

l. A method for producing appliqud articles, comprising cutting on a bias, strips of material having crossing Warp and woof threads, shirring the strips to provide an undulating eect thereto, while attaching the strips side by side to a fabric background substantially along the center line of said strips, and acting on the free edges of the strips to separate the threads at such free edges, thereby to impart a fluffy fringed appearance to the strips against the background.

2. A method for producing appliqud articles, comprising cutting on a bias, strips of material having crossing warp and woof threads, shirring the strips to provide an undulating effect thereto, while attaching the strips side by side to a fabric background substantially along the center line of said strips, and acting on the free edges of the strips to separate the threads at such free edges, to the attachment line of said strips, thereby to impart a fluffy fringed appearance to the strips against the background.

3. A method for producing appliqud articles, comprising cutting on a bias, strips of material 10 having crossing warp and Woof threads, shirring the strips to provide an undulating effect thereto, while attaching the strips side by side in substantially the same plane, to a fabric background substantially along the center line ofV said strips, and acting on the free edges of the strips to separate the threads at such free edges to the attachment line of said strips, thereby to impart a uffy fringed appearance to the strips against the background.
