In the early 2000s, most of the companies in this category were private corporations with less than 100 workers. Employees of these establishments produced art needlework, quilted fabrics or cloth, Swiss loom embroideries, machine-made crochet ware, and sequined embroideries. Companies in this industry also made various products for the trade, including appliqueing, buttonhole making, eyelet making, hemstitching, looping, permanent pleating and pressing, pleating, ruffling, and scalloping.

In 2004 there were more than 2,300 establishments engaged in manufacturing miscellaneous textile products, with more than 42,000 employees earning $1.16 billion in annual payroll.
