Abstract
A weaving machine arrangement incorporates a shaft frame machine and, arranged on both sides thereof, two Jacquard machines. The weaving machine arrangement is coordinated, and first warp threads for the woven material are obtained from the shaft frame weaving machine and second warp threads from the Jacquard machines. The second warp threads are used to form spread-out turnover fold areas in the tubular material. The Jacquard machines form patterns for the closing locations of the weft threads in the turnover fold areas. By using spread-out turnover fold areas and spreading the closing locations of the weft threads in these areas, high-strength piecing functions are obtained in the tubular weave.
