The support is provided for the reed of a seam weaving machine used for joining two opposite ends of a synthetic fabric by means of a woven seam. The reed is provided with pivotally mounted reed dents (22) for sliding seam weft threads to the fell. The support comprises a tilt strip (24) and a pressure strip (30) which are disposed at a distance from the bearing mechanism (20) and apply opposite torques to the reed dents (22), as well as devices (26, 32) for positioning the tilt strip (24) and the pressure strip (30) at angles relative to the bearing mechanism (20) in order to stagger the reed dents (22) in the position thereof by means of the tilt strip (24) and the pressure strip (30) so as to operate the machine in a first mode of operation. A roll is also provided which can be moved along a track across the width of the reed in order to successively swivel the reed dents (22) towards the fell so as to operate the machine in a second mode of operation. The tilt strip (24) or the pressure strip (30) can be removed from the reed dents (22) to operate the machine in the second mode of operation. A U-shaped bar (40) can be placed on the front side of the reed dents (22) in the second mode of operation, the bottom arm (42) of said U-shaped bar (40) impinging the reed dents (22) below the shaft (20) and the top arm (44) thereof impinging the reed dents (22) above the shaft (20).
