Abstract
An appliqué comprising an outer perimeter fabric frame of a particular weave, fiber composition and cut, coated with a laminating adhesive, and inlayed with a central fabric panel formed of mesh or other perforated or highly porous material. Lamination causes the adhesive to melt through the mesh central panel and bond the two layers to an underlying performance fabric substrate. The resulting appliqué forms a robust and launderable bond, but does not substantially change the physical and visual characteristics of a performance fabric substrate to which the appliqué is applied. Moreover, a layered embroidery appearance can be created by contrast coloring the fabric frame versus central fabric panel, and this is further enhanced by printing a multi-color graphic along the periphery of the fabric frame.
