Abstract: A cutting machine for napped cloth prevents fray and dropout of fabric during cutting, and inhibits shortening of the life of a cutter. An interconnected body formed by a plurality of metallic body plates interconnected by a long light shielding ribbon with adhesive, formed by applying a sealing agent and an adhesive on a surface opposite a napped surface of a napped cloth having a single napped surface, is conveyed by a conveying means. The interconnected body is conveyed so that a void area between adjacent metallic body plates is positioned at a predetermined cutting position between lower and upper receiving surfaces. The light shielding ribbon with adhesive is sandwiched and fastened from both sides by a fastener part, and then this light shielding ribbon with adhesive is cut by advancing a cutter through a cutting part from the napped surface side.
