Inflatable or twistable tubes for embroidery hoop fabric tensioning

A device for aligning and cutting lengths of terrycloth along the woof thread comprises two aligning ledges capable of movement relative to one another that can be lowered into the pileless rows of the length of material. The aligning ledges are connected each with one of two diagonally opposite joints of a parallelogram frame. On the two intervening joints is mounted a cutting device that operates transverse to the direction of feed of the length of material with a cutting plane that is always located exactly in the middle between the two aligning ledges.

Device for aligning and cutting lengths of material

A device for forming a doubly turned hem on lengths of fabric with a folding sleeve, in the inner space of which a flexible sheet is provided as auxiliary folding device, which presses the fabric against the guiding surface of the folding sleeve and, as the start of fabric is pushed through the folding sleeve, constantly follows its cross-sectional shape. The effective area of the auxiliary folding device can have a fur-like surface, the pile of which is aligned in the direction of advance of the material to be sewn. In order to open a gap for the unimpeded introduction of the edge of the fabric, a shaped metal plate, by means of which the auxiliary folding device is coiled, is movable between the guiding surface of the folding sleeve and the auxiliary folding device.
