Claim One:
1. A method of forming a compound textile fabric, comprising the steps of: providing a first textile fabric having a plurality of interwoven warp and weft yarns; providing a second textile fabric having a plurality of interwoven warp and weft yarns; providing a three-dimensional image transfer device having a foraminous image-forming surface comprising a regular pattern of three-dimensional surface elements; positioning said first textile fabric in face to face juxtaposition with said second textile fabric; and positioning the overlaid textile fabric layers on said image transfer device, then integrating and hydraulically imaging said overlaid textile fabric layers by subjecting said fabric layers to pressurized liquid streams applied to a surface of said fabric facing away from said image transfer device to thereby impart said regular pattern of said image-forming surface to said fabric.
