Abstract
Strip fastener material comprising a first flexible strip of material having a surface of loose-weave fiber wool, the first strip of material being configured as a narrow strip having a plurality of identical, spaced first projections extending sidewards in one direction therefrom; and, a second flexible strip of material having a surface of resiliently flexible hooks adapated to releasably mate with the wool, the second strip of material being configured as a narrow strip having a plurality of identical, spaced second projections extending sidewards in one direction therefrom, the first projections and the second projections being identical in shape. The material is made by cutting a serpentine path longitudinally through the strips of material to form, in each case, two new strips of material configured as a narrow strip having a plurality of identical spaced projections extending sidewards in one direction therefrom. The fastening material is easily attached to fabric, or the like, by running parallel lines of stitches through the strips and the fabric where one of the lines of stitches is disposed along lines passing through the narrow strips along one side of the strips and the other of the lines of stitches is disposed along lines passing through the tips of the projections.
