First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of forming a stitch in a motor vehicle seat cover piece, comprising: forming, upon molding of a foam layer and a lining material defining an apparent surface of the cover, a groove of the cover piece that defines a pattern of the stitch, wherein the groove is configured to have a width that facilitates engagement with a component of a sewing machine; and forming the stitch in the groove of the cover piece using the groove as a guide for the component of the sewing machine. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the groove is formed on a side of the lining material. 3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the groove is used as a guide for a sewing machine foot. 4. The method of claim 3 , wherein he groove is used as a guide for feed dogs of the sewing machine. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the groove is formed on a side of the foam layer. 6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the groove is used as a guide for a sewing machine gauge. 7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the gauge is deposited on a side of a foot opposite to a needle. 8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the stitch is decorative. 9. A cover for a motor vehicle seat, comprising at least one piece provided with a groove having a stitch formed therein in accordance with the method of claim 1 . 10. The method of claim 1 , wherein forming the groove of the cover further comprises cold forming of foam arranged on a reverse side of the lining material. 11. A motor vehicle seat element, comprising: a foam support block; and the cover of claim 9 . 12. A motor vehicle seat comprising at least one seat element of claim 11 . 13. The method of claim 1 , wherein forming the groove further comprises forming the groove to have a V-shape.
