item that textiles are useful for in another embodiment the substrate may be a solid substance that can be dissolved or melted in this embodiment of the invention the chains may be pressed into the surface of the solid substrate or the substrate may have channels pressed or otherwise formed in the surface of the substrate the chains may then be laid into the channels in one embodiment the substrate is a wax this approach permits the chains to be laid in circular or spiral patterns or patterns involving a corner once the chains are laid into the substrate the threading process is performed to sew the chains together into a textile at that point the substrate is removed by means of dissolving the substrate into the solvent or melting the substrate as in the case of wax the substrate has to be thin enough so that the thickness of the substrate does not impede the threading process by resisting the movement of the needle nor introduce slack into the thread stitches when the substrate is removed in one embodiment this is accomplished by coating the dissolvable substrate with the solid substrate in one embodiment a wax layer is coated on dissolvable paper in this embodiment the wax can be patterned with the channels into which the chains are placed when the textile has been assembled the paper substrate.
