          Appeal No. 97-3187                                                          
          Application No. 07/999,422                                                  


               positioning a wire filament adjacent to and in parallel                
          contact with said edge;                                                     
               folding the edge of the ribbon around the wire filament,               
          such that at least some of the circumference of the wire                    
          filament is coextensive with and covered by the ribbon,                     
          thereby creating a sleeve of fabric for engaging the wire                   
          filament; and                                                               
               stitching said wire filament to said edge using at least               
          two additional filaments, such that the wire filament is in                 
          tight engagement with the edge, said stitching step including,              
          in a single continuous operation, passing a trim filament                   
          through the ribbon and around the edge and the wire filament,               
          said trim filament covering substantially all of the wire                   
          filament from view, and passing a binding filament through the              
          ribbon and around the edge, the trim filament and the wire                  
          filament, thereby securing the wire filament to the edge.                   
















                                          2
