14 may positioned and secured it is known in the stitching industry to loop the edges of a fabric any of the known techniques can be incorporated with the stitching machine 30 so that a side edge 12 of the ribbon material 10 is formed around the wire filament 14 just prior to the stitching process it is preferred however that the fold in the side edge 12 be limited according to the size of the wire used it is preferable that with any wire used the side edge 12 be such that when it is in tight engagement around the wire filament 14 the actual edge 11 of the ribbon material 10 will at most just contact the surface of the adjacent ribbon material 10 if a larger fold is formed the ribbon material 10 may buckle and fold when it overlaps the ribbon material 10 and an undesirable seam will result such buckling may also cause the secured ribbon edge to be uneven and could create spots along the wire filament 14 where the ribbon material is not in tight engagement with the wire in operation a supply of an appropriate decorative trim filament 18 and a supply of binding filament 20 are loaded in a conventional manner into a standard stitching machine like the preferred merrow or pegasus machine a wire filament 14 is fed through the needle plate 40 guided by both the side groove 54 and the bottom groove 56 and is ultimately drawn with the ribbon by the rollers 32 the ribbon material 10 is positioned in a conventional manner onto.
