ABSTRACT:
A lightweight embroidered puffed design fabric (10) having puffed design elements (E) formed in a prescribed embroidered design (C) is disclosed. The design fabric includes a front fabric (A) on which the design is formed and a lightweight backing fabric (B). The front and backing fabrics are united by embroidery stitching (14) which forms a preshrink design pattern D for the puffed elements. Backing fabric (B) is a gauze-type fabric which includes a relatively low count of highly shrinkable cotton weft and warp yarns (22, 24) loosely woven to form an open mesh 20 to facilitate full and uniform shrinking of the back fabric relative to said front fabric. Excess in the face of the front fabric forms puffed design elements (30, 32) in a manner controlled by preshrink design pattern D. In accordance with the method, front and backing fabrics are united in composite fabric (11) by embroidering preshrink embroidered pattern (D) on front fabric (A). The embroidered composite panel (11b) is subjected to hot water treatment in a manner and temperature that the back fabric shrinks relative to the front fabric forming the puffed design elements. Finally, the shrink embroidered composite panel (11) is placed in a commercial tumble dryer and dried in a relaxed, untensioned state in a manner that the puffed design elements and puffed embroidered design are thermally stabilized in the fabric. A reversible structure can be provided by sandwiching the backing fabric between two front fabrics.
