PURPOSE: Provided are an improved machine and an improved method, compared with those known, for the continuous decatizing and stabilizing of a fabric. CONSTITUTION: A machine for the continuous decatizing and stabilizing of a fabric (6) comprises : a cylindrical drum (1) having a side wall (2) around which are wrapped with a first blanket (5) ; the fabric (6) and a second blanket (7) ; rollers (8, 10) for moving the second blanket (7) ; a sealed chamber (12) that contains saturated steam at preselected pressure and temperature for impregnating the fabric (6) and is located in a first preselected peripheral region of the drum (1), on the outside of and close to the side wall (2) ; and a device (40; 140) capable of forming a stream of air for stabilizing the fabric (6). The device (40; 140) is located in a second preselected peripheral region of the drum (1), on the outside of and close to the side wall (2), and the stream of air formed by the device (40; 140) flows in a substantially tangential direction with respect to the side wall (2) of the drum (1).
