Abstract
A method and an apparatus provides for the use of a sensor to detect a state which requires the removal of a weft thread inserted by a weaving rotor of a series shed weaving machine used for the formation of shed to make a cloth. Upon detection of the state, the weaving rotor is stopped before the inserted weft thread to be removed is beaten up against the cloth edge of the cloth. A weft thread removal apparatus is provided for removing the weft thread after the weaving rotor is stopped.
