Single side, low add-on application of foam containing crosslinker to cotton fabrics provides an approach for a smooth-drying dyeable fabric. Such a fabric has potential for garment dyeing application. Two procedures were tested. Foam containing crosslinker and a reactive additive was applied to the face of the fabric while the back side was untreated. This technique allowed dyeing the face side only by use of a modified dye procedure. This procedure was compared with applying foam containing a conventional crosslinker system to the backside of the fabric. Dye ing of the face side of this fabric with conventional cotton dye procedures was then possible.
