ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for successively fabricating pillowcases and the like from a continuous open width textile fabric with each of the successively produced pillowcases including correctly aligned and stitched together hemmed open ends, and side and bottom edges. The fabric is withdrawn from a supply source and successively cut to form individual blanks of predetermined length. The blanks are moved along a substantially rectangular path of travel with the completed pillowcases being deposited in a position adjacent the supply source of the open width fabric. A folding station is provided for successively folding the hemmed blanks along a fold line extending longitudinally along the medial portion with the opposite side edges and the hem end in substantial overlying alignment with one another. A corner aligning station is provided for detecting an out of alignment condition of the leading ends of the hemmed end and overlying opposite side edges of the folded blank and for selectively advancing the upper and lower hemmed ends and overlying opposite side edges for aligning the leading ends thereof.
