A method of joining two fabric surfaces together which comprises: sewing a synthetic, fusible, thermoplastic thread to one of the fabric surfaces to be joined, the sewing taking the form of a blind sewing stitch which passes through only a portion of the full depth of the fabric and which interloops with itself or with one or more other threads on the surface of the fabric; bringing the surface of the fabric containing the interlooped thread stitch into contact with the other fabric surface to be joined, whereby the interlooped thread stitch contacts both fabric surfaces; and applying heat and pressure to the fabric surfaces and the interposed, interlooped thread stitch, whereby the synthetic, fusible, thermoplastic thread softens and becomes adhered to both fabric surfaces, joining them together.
