Abstract

A method is disclosed for finishing knitted fabric to prevent cut edges from rolling up while the knitted fabric is being converted into garments. 0.2 to 1 percent, based on the weight of the knitted fabric, of a copolymer of N-vinylpyrrolidone and dialkylaminoalkyl acrylate or methacrylate, the alkyl groups preferably being lower alkyl groups with 1 to 4 carbon atoms and at least 10% of the amino groups being present in the quaternary form, is applied to the knitted fabric. The copolymer is preferably applied to the fabric from an aqueous solution.
