Zusammenfassung:A method of producing tufted products is disclosed. The method includes the steps of installing a second set of reed fingers (8) relative to a tufting machine, feeding a pair of backing sheets (7,9) to the tufting machine with the second set of reed fingers (8) positioned between the backing sheets (7,9); operating the tufting machine in a normal manner to form a face-to-face structure through the backing sheets; and cutting or dividing the face-to-face structure to form two separate tufted products. No additional or extra backing stitch is included in the face-to-face structure formed through the backing sheets. Also disclosed is the installation of an optional lower presser foot (5) which, if present, temporarily holds the yarn during needle retraction.
