Abstract
A method of manufacturing slotted webbing of the type having slotted portions selectively formed between solid portions includes the steps of providing a needle loom machine, selectively positioning warp yarns with the needle loom machine between a first position in which there is a single shed opening provided through the yarns and a second position in which there are two shed openings provided through the yarns, and inserting weft yarns with the needle loom machine to weave the warp yarns with the weft yarns. The arrangement is such that when the warp yarns are in their first position, the solid portion of the webbing is fabricated and when the warp arms are in their second position, the slotted portion of the webbing is fabricated. A modified heddle of the present invention associated with the second position is further disclosed.
