Abstract:
1. A method of making a printed oven mitt, comprising the steps of: applying an adhesive resin to a fabric backing layer and a print receiving layer, wherein the adhesive layer is composed of two resin types, a low temperature resin to temporarily secure the respective layers in a working assembly, and a high temperature resin to permanently secure the respective layers upon printing application; bonding said print receiving layer to said backing layer using an initial amount of heat and pressure; applying a second amount of heat and pressure to said print receiving layer to transfer an image from a transfer dye onto said print receiving layer using a sublimation printing process; and attaching perimeters of said print receiving layer and said backing layer to a perimeter of a fabric mitt forming layer to form a pocket between said backing layer and said mitt forming layer, whereby a hand can be inserted into the pocket to use the oven mitt.
