Abstract

The solution according to the invention serves to position textile surface configurations, especially cut parts for pieces of clothing. It is the object of the invention to create an apparatus, with which sewing material parts can be positioned in two coordinates in a simple manner. In the invention, the sewing material is moved against a contact edge of a positioning table in the x-direction by air nozzles, which are alternately guided by sensors. The sewing material edge is clamped by a vertically-adjustable clamping device. The positioning table is then moved in the y-direction until the sewing material edge reaches a sensor.
