A machine for converting a fabric from a rolled fabric into a
superimposingly folded fabric for delivery to a dyeing machine. The
machine includes a frame, a cradle, and a carriage. The frame rests on an
unyielding surface. The cradle is operatively connected to the frame,
holds the rolled fabric, and dispenses the fabric from the rolled fabric.
The carriage is movably mounted to the frame, and receives the fabric
dispensed from the rolled fabric, and in response thereto, moves back and
forth relative to the frame to dispense the fabric into the
superimposingly folded fabric for delivery to the dyeing machine.
