More Information
Summary:The present invention is an apparatus (1) for forming a fabric (2) for an architectural opening covering (3). The apparatus comprises a joining section (14), an accumulator, a cutting station (20), and a stacker (22). The joining section is configured to join together first, second, third and fourth material strips into a fabric strip (4). The accumulator is configured to accumulate the fabric strip upon leaving the joining section. The cutting station is configured to sever the fabric strip into an upstream fabric strip and a first downstream fabric strip. The stacker is configured to join the first downstream fabric strip with a second downstream fabric strip to form the fabric.
