ABSTRACT:
Toe closing socks first involves stretching them flat on a carrier, then one of the resulting confronting layers of fabric is effectively held substantially immobile by a fabric-holding device and the other layer is displaced longitudinally relative thereto by a movable displacing means brought into engagement therewith. Maintaining the layers mutually displaced, for example by clamping them to one another, they are conveyed past a sewing machine and seamed. By seaming the layers together while they are mutually displaced, the seam will adopt an overfoot or underfoot position in the finished sock due to readjustment of the fabric and the return of the layers to their normal relaxed relative dispositions.
