Abstract
A pattern is impressed on flocked fabric by applying a patterned cylinder to the flocked surface before the adhesive that retains the flocking has cured. The projections on the cylinder surface tilt the flock fibers contacted by them to a new orientation, thereby forming the pattern in the flocked surface. Subsequent curing of the adhesive preserves the pattern.
