<p>The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for bestowing an appearance of an embossed type upon a fabric (1). The method envisages in the first place a stretching of the fabric (1) in the warp direction (100). Next, it envisages sewing, on at least a part of the height (H) of the fabric (1), a first series of elastic threads (10) oriented in a generic warp direction (100) and fixing to the fabric (1) a second series of elastic threads (20) generally oriented in the weft direction (200). The elastic threads (10, 20) are fixed to the fabric (1) in a state of tension and contract when the fabric (1) is released from a state of tension to a state of non-tension. The contraction of the elastic threads (10, 20) determines a surface curling of the fabric (1) that bestows thereon the embossed appearance.</p> |
