Abstract: Finished, form-fitting garments, having limb openings conforming to the shape of the human torso, are automatically and continuously made at high speed by means of torso contoured forms moving along a path. The sheet material is printed with an adhesive seam pattern, if desired, formed into a tube, cut into tubular garment blanks and crotch patches adhered when the garments are panties. The blanks are individually and successively fed onto the forms, accurate limb openings cut at one station, elastic bands added, if desired, and enclosed in tubular edge seams at other stations and the finished garments inverted and stripped from the forms.
