An apparatus for finishing a fabric web by subjecting a usually wetted fabric which is carefully handled preferably on a spreader in the case of knits or a tenter-like device in the case of woven or non-woven webs so that it remains flat and smooth and then presenting the fabric to a fabric treating station comprising endless belts in abutting relationship to shrink or finish the fabric and finally removing the fabric from the fabric treating station or arrangement. An apparatus for finishing a fabric by passing a carefully handled fabric onto a device to smooth the fabric and move same to a confined space formed by side by side plural, usually endless, belts with guide means on the outer surfaces thereof and said plural belts arranged to change direction around inner rolls disposed on the opposite ends of said belts to finish or shrink said fabric either as a result of the curvature caused by the change in direction of said belts or in the nip formed by the rolls at one end.
