Abstract: A fabric to be utilized in making a textile product is prepared in the steps comprising: embroidering a natural fabric along the predetermined cutting line and/or patterns with thermofusing fibers; and melt cutting and/or pressingly welding along said embroidered portions with a supersonic treating machine to provide frayless edge portions and/or openings as well as hollow patterns. Another fabric is prepared in the steps comprising: providing at least one surface of a natural fabric with a thermofusing fabric; and melt-cutting and/or pressingly welding along the predetermined cutting line and/or patterns with a supersonic treating machine.

Abstract: Pleated cloth made of thermoplastic resin is enhanced in its appearance by providing a film pattern section to the end of the cloth to melt a certain part of pleating. This invention relates to an improved pleated cloth and the method for producing the same, and the method for producing the improved pleated cloth includes the steps of: forming pleating on the cloth made of thermoplastic resin; melt-forming a film pattern section on the adequate area of the pleating lines by using a patterned roller and an ultrasonic generator; and erasing a certain area of the pleating lines by the provision of the film pattern section. The product as above improves over the prior art in that it eliminates the need for the sewing machine and thread used in conventional hemming.
