Abstract
A method for cutting piled fabric is provided. The method includes the steps of bending the pile elements downward towards the fabric base along a line to be cut and thereafter cutting through the bent piling elements and fabric base to form a two-sided cut. Such method shears piling elements adjacent to one side of the cut while leaving the pile elements adjacent to the other side of the cut substantially unaltered.
