ABSTRACT:
A piece of loose textile with a spread cut edge is fed to a stitching location in accordance with a method wherein the piece is gripped at an interior location spaced from the edge and this interior gripped location is advanced continuously at an intermediate transport speed in a transport direction parallel to the edge toward the stitching location. Thus relative to the direction the edge has a leading portion and a trailing portion that are successively displaced past a speed-change location. This leading portion of the edge is advanced in the direction toward the stitching location at a relatively slow transport speed slower than the intermediate speed and the trailing portion of the edge is advanced in the direction toward the stitching location at a relatively fast transport speed faster than the intermediate speed. This system therefore automatically rectifies the edges of the piece. The normally forwardly splayed portion of the cut edge of a piece of loose material such as frottee is retarded and the rearwardly splayed portion of this cut edge is accelerated. As a result the leading and trailing edges of the piece will be straight, parallel, and perpendicular to the transport direction.
