Abstract
A fabric handling device and method, particularly useful for light weight, nonwoven web material, including a fast feed roller device in substantial contact with the fabric surface continuously rotating faster than the fabric speed, with a coefficient of friction chosen to provide sliding friction but allow the roller surface to slide over the fabric surface, a positioning device including an air jetting below a horizontal surface element above the fabric, a dual edge cutting tool device that travels and cuts in both directions, and a pair of continuous belts sandwiching the fabric pieces against a table and moving the pieces to a subsequent work station.
