Abstract: A device for guiding a knitted or woven fabric flattened or folded into half-width which prevents creases or wrinkles from occurring in the conveyed fabric. The guiding device comprises a plurality of fabric guiding surfaces wich are rotatable around an axis, which axis is perpendicular to the conveying direction of said fabric; and a plurality of spaces for receiving a part of the fabric, provided between two adjacent fabric guiding surfaces. The fabric guiding surfaces are composed of a plurality of roller-shaped bars. Alternatively, the fabric guiding surfaces are composed of parts of the circumferential surface of a cylindrical roller, each said part extending axially and separated from adjacent parts by grooves, which grooves act as the spaces for receiving a part of the fabric.
