<p>A textile manufacturing apparatus (10) for manufacturing a sequined, textured fabric (11), the manufacturing apparatus being structured to cut an array of geometric shapes into a dual layer sheet (12) formed by first and second material films (15, 16). The geometric shaped cutouts define a plurality of geometrically shaped members (17) and a plurality of geometrically shaped apertures (18). Further, the manufacturing apparatus is structured to push the geometrically shaped members (17) into a raised orientation above an upper surface of the dual layer sheet (12), the geometrically shaped members (17) of the second film protruding through the geometrically shaped apertures (18) of the first film. The apparatus is further structured to stagger the first film relative to the second film so as to space the geometrically shaped members of each film from one another in order to form the sequined, textured fabric (11). Finally, a backing material layer (75) is added to secure the first and second material films in their staggered orientation.</p> |
