Abstract
A method and system for manufacturing articles from a strip of flexible material, when the article is characterized by one or more seams joining an associated set of non-colinear curvilinear segments. Initially, the strip of material is positioned so that the curvilinear segments for one seam are mutually adjacent and then those segments are joined. Thereafter, excess material is removed.
