Abstract
A process for transferring dyestuff from a transfer paper substrate to a sealed area on a laminated textile material such as a quilt. The process makes possible, for example, the simulation of a colored thread stitch by coloring the sealed area as the seal is performed. Normally, the sealing is accomplished by ultrasonic means, but other forms of energy for sealing purposes may be utilized.
