carpet tufting Explanation: This is just a guess - I'm happy to be corrected! Tufting is tidying up the edges of carpets to make rugs or samples. A search on google brings up lots of hits. My dictionary (Oxford-Duden) also had 'Kettelmaschine' as a 'looping machine'. Searching Google for 'Bekettelung' comes up with nothing - so it's obviously not a common term! Hope this helps (if only a little bit!) Mary |
