Abstract
A method of stitching a sewable material, which method includes the steps of: providing a support with a surface; providing a first sheet material with first and second sides; adhering the first side of the first sheet material to the surface of the support; adhering the sewable material to the second side of the first sheet material; and performing a stitching operation on the sewable material with the first sheet adhered to the surface of the support and the sewable material adhered to the first sheet. An adhesive on the first sheet, with a tackiness that increases upon being exposed to a reactant, is used to at least one of a) adhere the first side of the first sheet material to the surface of the support and b) adhere the sewable material to the second side of the first sheet material. The method further includes the step of exposing the adhesive to the reactant before the adhesive is used to at least one of a) adhere the first side of the first sheet material to the surface of the support and b) adhere the sewable material to the second side of the first sheet material.
