Tufted carpets are made on a large sowing machine apparatus with many needles. Yarns are sown into a woven backing and if it is not dyed, that piece is called "Greige Goods". Bonding adhesive is then applied to the backside of the Greige Goods to hold yarns in place. The bonding adhesive is made of latex, clay, filler, oil, and water. Afterwards, a second woven backing is placed on the underside to add dimensional stability. Dimensional stability is what helps the carpet maintain its size and shape. If the secondary backing falls off, then the problem is called "delamination". 2, record 1, English, - tufted

Le cannelé est obtenu par des flottés de chaîne recouvrant une ou plusieurs duites. Les fils de chaîne du tissu étant très serrés, il se produit des côtes transversales, perpendiculaires aux lisières. Dans cette catégorie de tissu rentre legros de Tours, le cannelé alternatif, le cannelé d'Inde et un dérivé, le cannetillé. La soie fut la plus souvent employée aux XVIIIe s. pour la fabrication de ce tissu, mais le coton et la laine peuvent être utilisés. L'armure du cannelé sert aussi dans l'industrie de la rubanerie. 2, record 9, French, - cannel%C3%A9

Many types of fabrics are made with woven or printed designs to simulate genuine tapestry, hence the name. Much of the material is of cotton content, but linen, spun acetate, spun rayon, etc., are also used. Some cloth under this name is very popular as a staple item in apparel, such as cotton fabrics printed with tapestry motifs that are interesting and intriguing. Other uses for the fabric include curtains, drapes, and some upholstery goods. 1, record 13, English, - tapestry%20fabric
