A method and apparatus for fray-free cutting at the perimeter (44) of an area (42) of a textile sheet (40) on a textile-receiving surface (12), including creating an anti-fray condition in the sheet (40) along a path (46, 47) at the perimeter (44) by an anti-fray instrument (18) movable along the surface (12) as directed by a controller (14) based on programmed information regarding the perimeter (44), and cutting the sheet at the perimeter (44) by a cutter (16) movable along the surface (12) as directed by the controller (14) based on the programmed information. The anti-fray instrument (18) is preferably an anti-fray substance applicator or, if the textile is a thermoplastic textile, a laser device configured and arranged to induce an anti-fray state therein. |
