Abstract
A selvage cutter for a weaving loom has a cutter guide (9A, 9B) that causes the cutter to follow the cut fabric edge (8A) dependent on any fabric edge shrinkage locations (SL). The cutter guide has a guide claw (9A) that is elastically urged into contact with the cut fabric edge (8A) by a spring mechanism (14, 14A) which causes the cutting blades (3, 5) to move along a cutting path (8B) that follows the contour of the cut fabric edge (8A), whereby each cut weft thread end (8B) protruding from the cut fabric edge (8A) has the same length and the cutting line conforms to the contour of the cut fabric edge (8A) including shrinkage locations (SL).
