Abstract
Abstract A device for cutting fabric has a pinning frame placed on a support of a press having a head relatively movable toward and away from the support. The frame has an aperture adjacent the support and receives a plate having an aperture in register with the frame aperture. A plurality of pins project from the plate near its aperture to hold fabric on the plate. A die is then forced through the fabric and both apertures by relative movement of the head toward the support to cut the material against the support of the press.
