First and second members are pivotally mounted about a common axis within the machine, each of the members having arm portions extending toward the roller and adapted for insertion through the fabric carried thereby. The arm of the first member is configured in the shape of a needle having an eye adapted to receive the yarn therethrough, the needle arm being channel-shaped in cross section for selectively receiving the arm of the other member in abutting sliding relation, the free end of the arm of the second member being notched.
