The fabric may be a woven textile, knit or non-woven material. The edges on either side of the fabric substrate are coated with a fusible material. The panels are cut to a predetermined length from a roll of the coated substrate. At least one edge of each panel is fused to the edge of the adjacent panel to create the finished element.
