The device (1) comprises a continuous flexible member (7), configured and arranged to press with a branch thereof an end portion of the tubular knitted article (G1, G2) against a supporting surface (31) and to feed the tubular knitted article (G1, G2) along a feed path from an insertion position toward and through a sewing area in which there is arranged a sewing machine (5). In the insertion area the portion of continuous flexible member in contact with the tubular knitted article (G1, G2) forms a first curve (7A; 7B). In the sewing area, the continuous flexible member (7) co-acts with a convex deflector profile (25), which imparts to the continuous flexible member (7) a curvature with a convexity facing the same part as the convexity of the first curve (7A; 7B) of the continuous flexible member (7).

An automated system and method for the manufacture of facemasks from a web of a textile product in a production line is provided. The web is conveyed in the production line along a machine direction. A first tie is attached at a tie attaching station to the web of the textile product, such that the first tie extends from the web in a cross-machine direction perpendicular to the machine direction. The web and first tie are cut at a cutting station in the cross-machine direction across a width of the web in the cross-machine direction to form a facemask separate from the web.

A sewing machine includes a material sandwiching unit to sandwich two materials having annular edges from above and below while they are stacked so that the material on an inner wheel side is located on the lower side and the material on an outer wheel side is located on the upper side, wherein a part of the material sandwiching unit located above the two materials is vertically movable, the material sandwiching unit includes a curl-removing mechanism to straighten curls occurring on the edges of the two materials, the material sandwiching unit includes inclined parts that serve as the curl-removing mechanism and have edges extending backward from a farther side of the edges toward the edge side at a position where the two materials pass therethrough, and the inclined parts have air ejectors to eject air so as to form airflows that straighten portions of the materials where curls have occurred.
