A method for forming a strip material useful as part of a fastener. The method steps comprise moving two backing layers from opposite directions around guides and away from the guides in parallel paths, feeding monofilaments between the guides, pressing the monofilaments first into engagement with one and then the other of the backing layers on the guides so that lengths of the filaments extend normally between the backing layers along the parallel paths, severing those normally extending monofilaments halfway between the backing layers, and heating the newly severed terminal ends of the monofilaments to form heads.
