Embroidered design for securement to an article and method of making the same

摘要

An embroidered design adapted to be heat sealed to another article. The design is embroidered on a substrate made of woven polyester fabric. The substrate is bonded at the underside thereof to a low melt thermoplastic adhesive film to form a lamination. The design is thereafter traced along the outer and inner peripheries thereof with a severing tool to remove all portions of the lamination except only the design proper consisting of the embroidering thread and the plastic film portions thereunder. The design may then be heat sealed to another article such as a garment with the garment proper being exposed between adjacent portions of the thread to simulate a design embroidered directly onto the garment.
