The end needle,first of one fashioning set b and then of the opposite fashioning set b,is thus thrown out of action so that with each reciprocating movementthe flat web produced is narrowed to the extent of one needle, first atone edge and then at the opposite edge. This narrowing operation iscontinued until all the needles of the fashioning sets b b have beenthrown out of
