Abstract
A trim part of the type having a visible outer surface and a resilient foam substrate is provided with real thread decorative stitching. Visible loops of the thread are tensioned against the outer surface by embedded loops held in the resilient substrate. A method is disclosed for applying the decorative stitching with two different types of thread, which is done by partially penetrating the foam substrate to a controlled depth in a repeating pattern.
