Stretchable appliqué and method for making the same

摘要

A stretchable applique made from a stretchable substrate with indicia thereon may be applied to a variety of articles including stretchable performance athletic wear. A method for making the stretchable applique may include applying an adhesive and a carrier layer to one surface of a stretchable substrate. Indicia may then be applied to the opposite surface of the stretchable fabric and the stretchable substrate may be cut to a desired shape to form the stretchable applique. The carrier layer may then be removed and the stretchable applique may be adhered to the desired article. The stretchable applique may be adhered to stretchable articles of apparel so that the applique may stretch when the article of apparel stretches. The carrier layer may be less stretchable than the stretchable substrate, including being completely non-strctchablc.
