A dimensionally stable, padded, fabric of the type having a layer of carded, fibers reinforced by a woven fabric layer, warp knitted together by separate yarns is characterized by the carded fiber layer being unbonded, uncompacted and of intermingled, non-parallel fibers. Also by the woven fabric base layer being a fine mesh, thin, strong, tightly woven scrim of spun polyester fibers in the range of 28s to 40s. Also by the warp knit yarns being spun polyester fibers in the range of 16s to 24s. The knit yarns are embedded in the soft exposed batting face but are on the surface of the exposed scrim face to give that face high abrasion resistance.

A dimensionally stable, composite fabric comprising: a carded layer of intermingled, unbonded fibers, of about one to two inches in length, said layer being normally uncompacted, and about one eighth inches to one half inch in thickness and having a density of about 3 ounces per square yard; a layer

A dimensionally stable, composite fabric comprising: a carded layer of intermingled, unbonded fibers, of about one to two inches in length, said layer being normally uncompacted, and about one eighth inches to one half inch in thickness and having a density of about 3 ounces per square yard; a layer of woven scrim fabric formed of spun polyester warp and weft yarns in the range of 28 singles to 40 singles, said fabric being light weight, open mesh, woven at about 15-25 strands per inch and having a density of about 1.75 ounces per square yard; said carded fiber layer being superposed on said woven scrim layer to form a composite fabric and a multiplicity of tricot knit stitches joining said layers into a unitary fabric, said stitches being formed of spun polyester yarns in the range of 16 singles to 24 singles, and being about 12 gauge 12 stitches per inch with a density of about 2 ounces per square yard, said stitches being at predetermined tension with the chain stitch wales thereof embedded below the plane of the exposed face of said cardable fiber layer and compacting said layer down toward the plane of said woven fabric while forming a plurality of soft, elongated fibrous ribs on each side of, and in parallelism with, said wales; and zig-zag laps of said tricot stitches overlying the exposed woven polyester yarn face on the opposiTe side of said fabric to increase the abrasion resistance thereof.
