Abstract: This invention describes a process for applying a reinforcing or stiffening tape such as buckram or Pellon (registered trademark of the Pellon Corporation, New York, N.Y.) to a panel of drapery or other material directly, without the necessity of pre-marking, measuring or stitching. This is accomplished by the step of adhesively bonding the strip of reinforcing tape near the bottom edge of a panel suspended from the opposite end. Thereafter, the panel and the reinforcing strip adhesively secured thereto, is folded over itself and the reinforcing tape sandwiched between the two layers of panel and secured thereto in the form of a reinforcing heading. The reinforcing tape is mounted in the form of a spool onto a carriage mounted near the bottom of the frame of the tabler. The carriage is mounted for transverse movement across the frame in a straight line so as to adhesively supply one face of the reinforcing tape onto the edge of the panel suspended from the tabler.
