Lesson 12 : Methods of Spreading

Stationery spreaders-portable and fixed

Stationary Rack: This machine is essentially two uprights mounted at the end of the table. A steel bar is passed through the roll of fabric, and two spreaders will pull the goods from the beginning of the table, all the way to the end of the spread length. Once the fabric is aligned on the table and weighted at the end, the spreaders work their way back to the roll, smoothing out ripples in the fabric and aligning the selvedge.
