Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0945535A2] A narrow fabric elastic material comprises elastomeric elements (30) which are covered with a stretch yarn (40) of polybutylene terephthalate. The stretch yarn (40) may be applied in a knitting or weaving process and allows a significant increased grip of the elastomeric during the covering of the elastomeric elements. The elastic material (150) can have a variable modulus across its width and is included in a waistband (124) having a perdefined curvature or shape. The waistband (124) is formed by a folder (110) on a sewing machine having at least one needle. A blind stitch is formed on the front face (122) of the waistband (124) and a chain or lock stitch (125) is formed on the rear face (122). The curved waistband (124) can also be formed on a sewing machine having at least two needles by rows of stitching (127 and 128). <IMAGE>
