A laterally elongated plate is provided with anchors in a transversely elongated tape support area of the plate by which to secure the opposite ends of a length of pressure sensitive adhesive tape extended across the tape support area, with the adhesive side of the tape facing upward. A stitch indicator line is provided on the plate inwardly of and parallel to the tape support area to indicate an ultimate stitching line, and loop size guide lines also are provided on the plate spaced inwardly from and parallel to the stitch indicator line to orient cloth loop material according to the size of loops desired to be formed. Laterally spaced markings are provided on the plate adjacent the tape support area to aid in spacing loop units desired distances apart. A tool for supporting everted fabric loop material in looped form for application to the adhesive tape on the plate comprises a pair of wire rods secured to the terminal ends of a U-shaped handle of resilient material, the rods extending forwardly from the handle perpendicular to the plane of the handle.
Apparatus for securing a plurality of fabric loops of folded, everted fabric loop material at predetermined spaced-apart positions on an elongated strip of adhesive tape preliminary to transfer of the tape and secured loops to garment material for attachment of the loops to said garment material, the apparatus comprising:
A tool for supporting everted fabric loop material in folded form for application to a length of adhesive tape, comprising a handle member having a pair of laterally spaced end portions movable toward and away from and parallel to each other, and a pair of parallel rods secured one to each of the handle end portions and projecting forwardly therefrom for entrance into the opposite terminal end portions of a folded length of everted fabric loop material.
