A creping or gathering process is performed on an elongatable but relatively non-elastic web. This gathering process may be performed by any of a number of creping apparatus commercially available. Once the non-elastic web (14) is gathered, it is joined to a nonwoven elastic web, formed of nonrandom-laid continuous filaments (42) to produce an elasticized gathered nonwoven fabric. This fabric is then subjected to tension and thus stretched and elongated so as to remove most or substantially all of the gathers from the pregathered web. Finally, the elasticized nonwoven fabric is released from the tension, relaxing the fabric, and thereby permitting some or all of the gathers of the non-elastic web to reform. |
