Abstract: An apparatus and method for forming belt loops from fabric cut to the exact length of the finished loop. Single fabric plies are sequentially fed by pneumatic means into stationary alignment with a folder. While the alignment is maintained, the plies are transported through the folder where opposed longitudinal edges of the ply are overlapped to present one exposed edge to a sewing device. The exposed edge is positioned by its alignment to be completely covered by stitches to form the finished loop and to prevent unravelling of the exposed edge when the loop is attached to a garment.
