Abstract: A soft good dispensing device includes a loading zone, one or more rollers, and a cutting mechanism. The loading zone is configured to receive a soft good supply. The one or more rollers are configured to automatically unwind a desired quantity of a soft good from the soft good supply. The cutting mechanism is configured to automatically separate the desired quantity of the soft good from the soft good supply. The cutting mechanism includes a rotary cutting blade and a rotatable blade adjustment mechanism. The rotary cutting blade is configured to cut the soft good as the rotary cutting blade travels relative to an unwound portion of the soft good. The rotatable blade adjustment mechanism is coupled to the rotary cutting blade and operable to extend the rotary cutting blade from the cutting mechanism and retract the cutting blade into the cutting mechanism.

Abstract: A commercially available product, of a type having a batting with a softness and flexibility and configured for use in the formation of a quilt, where the quilt has at least one cover to be securably attached to the batting, includes a composite member sold in at least one desirable size for making a quilt and formed of the batting and an adhesive material as an article of manufacture, is disclosed. The batting consists of a fibrous material and the adhesive material includes a water-soluble material and is effective to form a removable bond at the opposing faces of the batting, so that the quilt may be formed by at least temporary attachment of the cover to the batting by the bond and the bond is removable after formation of the quilt.

Abstract: A template for creating decorative shapes includes a flat sheet of material having an internal region surrounded by an external edge. The internal region includes internal cutting guides formed by slots. The slots including straight slots, waveform slots and interconnected slots. The external edge defines external cutting guides including a waveform edge, a straight edge, an arcuate edge and a scalloped edge. A method of making a template includes selecting a sheet of material, and selecting a pattern of external guides having shapes that define a perimeter of the sheet, and selecting a pattern of internal guides having a plurality of slots, and selecting an arrangement of indicia for use with at least one of the guides, and forming the external guides and the internal guides on the sheet.

Abstract: A method of making a quilt includes a batting including a heat activated adhesive coating each side or faces of the batting. The quilt covers are attached to the batting by sequentially placing the covers onto the respective batting faces and heating each cover and adjacent adhesive by moving a hot iron over each cover. The covers are connected to each by a plurality of spaced yarn or other suitable decorative connecting means which extend through the covers and batting to secure the batting in place and may form a desired decorative pattern. The inactive adhesive remains in the quilt or is removed by washing of the quilt. The batting with the inactive adhesive is provided as a commercially available product.
