Embroidery and method of making same

摘要

Chemical burnout is used on fabrics having beaded and/or glittered areas to create embroidery that realistically simulates hand-sewn embroidery. A chemical fluid etchant is printed only on selected areas of a pattern on a fabric of cellulose fibers. Preferably, the fabric is a composite fabric that also has non-cellulose fibers. A curable fluid adhesive is printed only on other selected areas of the pattern. Ornamental particles are deposited onto the curable adhesive. The composite fabric is heated to cure the adhesive and fix the particles to the other selected areas, and to simultaneously activate the etchant to dissolve the cellulose fibers at the selected areas. The chemical etchant is removed by rinsing the composite fabric.

1. A method of making embroidery, comprising:
forming a fabric of cellulose fibers; printing a chemical fluid etchant only on selected areas of a pattern on a major surface of the fabric; printing a curable fluid adhesive only on other selected areas of the pattern on the major surface of the fabric; depositing ornamental particles onto the curable adhesive at the other selected areas; heating the fabric to cure the adhesive and fix the particles to the other selected areas, and to simultaneously activate the etchant to dissolve the cellulose fibers at the selected areas, of the fabric; and rinsing the fabric to remove the chemical etchant.
