ABSTRACT:
A method of attaching a plastic material to a fabric for decorative and/or protective purposes and upholstering a form includes the step of forming a pressure plate having concavities on one side thereof disposed in a selected pattern, said selected pattern corresponding to a desired pattern of application of the plastic material on a fabric and providing fluid communication between each concavity on another side of said pressure plate and a supply of fluid plastic material. The fabric is disposed on a bed and the pressure plate is against the fabric and bed to form a seal between the concavities. Thereafter fluid plastic material is forced through the concavities and into portions of the fabric disposed under each concavity to form the desired pattern on the fabric. The fluid plastic material is allowed to harden and thereafter the pressure plate is separated from the fabric leaving hardened plastic embedded in said selected pattern on said fabric. The fabric may then be stretched over a form to provide for an upholstered item.
