An automatic seaming machine for joining by weaving two opposed fabric ends. The machine comprising an end selector (50) driven by an end selector drive for selecting a free warp yarn and an inserter means (70) driven by an inserter means drive for pulling the yarn thus selected through the shed to join the ends together. A fault detector monitors the selection of the yarn by the end selector (50), and an inserter pick-up detector monitors the engagement and pulling of the yarn by the inserter means (70), such that if a fault occurs in either the selection or engagement/pulling the respective fault detector and inserter pick-up detector sends a fault signal to a central control means which in turn then sends a stop signal to the end selector drive and the inserter means drive in order to bring the machine to a complete halt and thereby terminate the weaving process. |
