Abstract
An embroidered design adapted to be heat sealed to another article. The design is embroidered on a substrate made of woven polyester fabric. The substrate is bonded at the underside thereof to a low melt thermoplastic adhesive film to form a lamination. The design is thereafter traced along the outer and inner peripheries thereof with a severing tool to remove all portions of the lamination except only the design proper consisting of the embroidering thread and the plastic film portions thereunder. The design may then be heat sealed to another article such as a garment with the garment proper being exposed between adjacent portions of the thread to simulate a design embroidered directly onto the garment.
Claims9
A method of producing an embroidered design adapted to be heat sealed to another article to simulate a design embroidered directly onto such article comprising the steps of
- (a) embroidering a design with embroidering thread onto a substrate, said design including an inner loop defined by the inner periphery thereof,
- (b) laminating to the underside of the substrate a low melt thermoplastic adhesive film to form a substrate and thermoplastic film lamination,
- (c) tracing the inner and outer periphery of the embroidered design with a severing tool to sever all portions of the lamination including said inner loop, except only the embroidering thread and the lamination portion directly thereunder, whereby there remains only the embroidering thread with lamination thereunder to define the embroidered design proper.
An embroidered design adapted to be heat sealed to another article to simulate a design embroidered directly onto such article, said design including an inner loop defined by the inner periphery thereof, comprising,
- (a) a substrate having said design directly embroidered thereon with embroidering thread,
- (b) a low melt thermoplastic adhesive film bonded to the underside of the substrate to define a laminate, said laminate having severed therefrom all portions including said inner loop, except only the embroidering thread and the laminate portions thereunder, whereby there remains only said embroidering thread and laminate portion thereunder which defines the embroidered design proper.
