Apparatus for feeding cover material into a quilting machine and simultaneously forming the same for covering longitudinal strips of elastic padding supported on a lower base material in order to obtain padding materials tin the form of attached tubes filled with said strips. The cover material is fed along a plane surface by a belt provided with nails. Such surface has projecting parts with the same cross-section and size as the padding tubes to be manufactured. The cover material is gradually forced to adapt itself to such projecting parts by means of chains running in the cavities therebetween and in the same direction as the cover material itself. These chains are driven by pairs of sprockets mounted on two parallel shafts and at the end of said projections, the cover material is contacted with the padding strips and directed to the needles of the quilting machine.
