Abstract

To produce pillow cases, bed sheets or like covers 10 fully automatically, a first transporting device 17 for the sections 24 cut off a supply of fabric 16 is provided in a sewing arrangement which supplies the sections 24 to a folding station 28. There each section of fabric 24 is folded over an aligning plate 32 by means of a folding bar 29 which can be moved back and forth. Above said aligning plate 32, a device 36 for the edge alignment of each folded section of fabric 24 is provided which is controllable in respect to the respective offset of the two layers 31, 33 of the folded section of fabric 24. A second transporting device 60 takes up the folded and aligned sections of fabric 24 and transports them to a first sewing station 61 where the two layers 31, 33 of the sections of fabric 24 are sewn together along two aligned edges. A third transport device 65, disposed at right angles to the second transport device 60, then transports the sections of fabric 24 to a second sewing station 67, where the two layers 31, 33 of the sections of fabric 24 are sewn together along two further aligned edges. The cover 10 is then complete and remains open along an edge 11.
