A method for making an elastomeric laminate, the method comprising the steps of: rotating a pattern roll about an axis of rotation extending axially in a cross direction, the pattern roll comprising: a bonding surface ; discrete first channels in the bonding surface, wherein the discrete first channels are circumferentially spaced apart from each other; and a protuberance extending axially in the cross direction between two of the discrete first channels ; providing a pressing surface adjacent the pattern roll ; providing an elastic strand , wherein the elastic strand defines a first cross sectional area in an unstretched state; stretching the elastic strand , wherein the stretched elastic strand defines a second cross sectional area that is less than the first cross sectional area; advancing a first substrate and a second substrate with the stretched elastic strand between the first substrate and the second substrate in a machine direction on the pattern roll , wherein the stretched elastic strand extends through at least one discrete first channel ; welding the first substrate and the second substrate together between the bonding surface and the pressing surface to create bonds between the first substrate and the second substrate , wherein the bonds are separated from each other in the cross direction by the stretched elastic strand positioned in the at least one discrete first channel to form a first sleeve surrounding the stretched elastic strand , wherein the first sleeve defines a third cross sectional area that is less than the first cross sectional area and equal to or greater than the second cross sectional area; compressing the first substrate , the second substrate , and the elastic strand between the pressing surface and the protuberance to sever the stretched elastic strand , wherein the severed elastic strand retracts and expands to create a frictional lock between the first sleeve and the severed elastic strand . rotating a pattern roll about an axis of rotation extending axially in a cross direction, the pattern roll comprising: a bonding surface ; discrete first channels in the bonding surface, wherein the discrete first channels are circumferentially spaced apart from each other; and a protuberance extending axially in the cross direction between two of the discrete first channels ; providing a pressing surface adjacent the pattern roll ; providing an elastic strand , wherein the elastic strand defines a first cross sectional area in an unstretched state; stretching the elastic strand , wherein the stretched elastic strand defines a second cross sectional area that is less than the first cross sectional area; advancing a first substrate and a second substrate with the stretched elastic strand between the first substrate and the second substrate in a machine direction on the pattern roll , wherein the stretched elastic strand extends through at least one discrete first channel ; welding the first substrate and the second substrate together between the bonding surface and the pressing surface to create bonds between the first substrate and the second substrate , wherein the bonds are separated from each other in the cross direction by the stretched elastic strand positioned in the at least one discrete first channel to form a first sleeve surrounding the stretched elastic strand , wherein the first sleeve defines a third cross sectional area that is less than the first cross sectional area and equal to or greater than the second cross sectional area; compressing the first substrate , the second substrate , and the elastic strand between the pressing surface and the protuberance to sever the stretched elastic strand , wherein the severed elastic strand retracts and expands to create a frictional lock between the first sleeve and the severed elastic strand . <EOS>
