2 Point To Point Seaming (Linking)
One of the most successful and desirable methods of joining selvedge goods is the point to point method. The articles are made in flat pieces, which are afterwards turned along their centre line and joined together point by point, that is, the stitch in one edge has its counterpart in the other, and each point in the machine holds a pair of loops, which the seaming threads of the machine then unite or join together. Such an operation is required for full-fashioned goods, while the process is termed linking, having special reference to the joining of toes in goods made on the seamless hose producing machines. Such articles are seamless, except that they require to be joined across the upper part of the toes in order to close them.Dictionary of the English textile terms > Point To Point Seaming (Linking)
