Abstract

See full text

The disclosure relates to the finish processing of stripe-matched tubular knitted fabric in the manner to effect accurate, uniform alignment of the sewn seam at the edge extremity of the fabric tube, as it is being finished and gathered in flat form. Stripe-matched tubular knitted fabric has been slit longitudinally, adjusted to convert stripes from spiral to circular form, and resewn its entire length. An equipment and method is provided for finish processing of such fabric, wherein a novel arrangement is provided for rotationally manipulating a laterally distended fabric to maintain accurate, uniform edge alignment of the sewn seam.
