ABSTRACT:
Terry cloth toweling (18) moves from a supply along its length through an aligning and cutting system (14), to a transfer station (15). As the untufted bands (20) of the toweling material approach the transfer station, a plurality of fingers (28) of a gate (25) engage the untufted portion of the toweling, and as the toweling continues to move, the oncoming edge (22) of the plush surface (19) of the toweling engages and is retarded by the fingers. In the meantime, a plurality of presser feet (92) each of which is aligned with the fingers of the gate urge the toweling into engagement with a feed roller (85) that pulls the toweling through the processing path, and tension in the toweling tends to lift one or more of the presser feet (92) to relieve the pull applied to the toweling. This functions to straighten the band of the toweling. The toweling is then cut across its length with cutter (45), and the cut segment of towel in the transfer station (15) is then moved in a path parallel to its cut edges through a hemming station (16) where the cut edges are folded over and sewn by sewing machines (17).
