Abstract
A stitched multi-layer fabric is provided. The fabric includes an interior layer, a barrier layer, a yarn, and a face layer. The barrier layer is disposed over the interior layer and is configured to inhibit fluid flow. The yarn is stitched through the interior layer and the barrier layer. The yarn secures the interior layer to the barrier layer and forms stitch holes in the barrier layer. The face layer is disposed over the barrier layer. A melted portion of the barrier layer bonds the face layer and the barrier layer together and fills a portion of the stitch holes in the barrier layer.
