English term or phrase: trammeling
Document about how to fit a shoe to a foot... The sentence is: "The attaching of the filler units to the shoe last may be done by means of trammeling them to the shoe last." I couldn't find the term anywhere. I thought about "fixer", "attacher" et "nouer", but I have the feeling it's not that... help please! :)

French translation:attacher
Explanation:
ficeler etc.
in any case something to do with attaching with a cord or similar.

I found the translation by taking first the German meaning on Leo.
to trammel = fesseln
fesseln = ligoter, attacher.
