Abstract: Endless conveyors (2,3) on opposite sides of a table (1) convey cloth (14) along table (1). Each longitudinal edge of cloth (14) is engaged by a plurality of devices carried by the corresponding conveyor (2,3). These devices may be catches (9) or, preferably, pins (30). Rollers (37) with brushes (38) on their outer surfaces are positioned to press cloth (14) onto pins (30). Rollers (37) are on the infeed side of a cutter (17) to ensure continued automatic feeding of cloth (14) following cutting of cloth (14). Release bars (32) are lowered to push cloth (14) off pins (30) to allow a severed length of cloth to drop onto table (1).
