Abstract
Abstract A fusible coating for bonding fabrics to each other comprises a pattern of fusible spots or dots bonded to a fabric substrate. The dots are widely spaced and arranged in a grid-like pattern. The grid-like pattern is skewed at an angle relative to the direction of weave of the fabric substrate.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
100 words
A fusible coating for a woven fabric substrate to be bonded to another fabric for simulating a stitch pattern of a jump baste or quilted stitching, comprising: a plurality of fusible dots bonded to said fabric substrate; said plurality of dots being arranged in a grid-like pattern having columns and rows, the distance between said rows of fusible dots being 6 to 10 millimeters and the distance between said columns of adhesive dots being 8 to 14 millimeters; wherein said grid-like pattern is skewed at an angle of 12 to 40 degrees from the direction of weave of said substrate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
100 words
A fusible coating for a woven fabric substrate to be bonded to another fabric for simulating a stitch pattern of a jump baste or quilted stitching, comprising: a plurality of fusible dots bonded to said fabric substrate; said plurality of dots being arranged in a grid-like pattern having columns and rows, the distance between said rows of fusible dots being 6 to 10 millimeters and the distance between said columns of adhesive dots being 8 to 14 millimeters; wherein said grid-like pattern is skewed at an angle of 12 to 40 degrees from the direction of weave of said substrate.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
A fusible coating according to claim 1, wherein said plurality of dots are each between 0.5 and 1.5 millimeters in height.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
A fusible coating according to claim 1, wherein said plurality of dots are each between 3 and 5 millimeters in diameter.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
27 words
A fusible coating according to claim 1, wherein said fusible coating is a fusible resin having a low fusing temperature and low viscosity at the melting point.
