6.3.12 Spreading machines for home textiles

Home textiles are easy to spread and cut; they require only laying the fabric ply and
straight cutting across the fabric. Often, home textiles are wider than textiles for gar-
ments. They are processed by simple mechanized spreading machines up to 3.5 m
wide, equipped with the cradle-type or free bar fabric feeding system (see Fig. 6.22
and Sections 6.3.2.1 and 6.3.2.3).

6.3.13 Semiautomated and fully automated spreading
processes
A layer of special perforated underlay paper is placed on a spreading table at the be-
ginning of the spreading process. As in manual spreading, a firm paper layer ensures
easy transportation of the spread along the table and prevents deformation of the
