A method and system for automatically forming parts for garments and the like is described wherein limp workpieces such as garment sections which are precut, are fed to an alignment station to register a desired predetermined crease line of the workpieces in precision alignment with a fold line defined by the nip of a pair of merging endless conveyors. The aligned workpieces are then deposited on the conveyors with the predetermined crease line aligned with the fold line, and the conveyors begin moving so that they can draw the workpiece between them and simultaneously fold it along the desired crease line. The conveyors transport the folded workpieces, such as pocket sections, downwardly past a pressurized region and back to an elevated workpiece delivery plane where the conveyors diverge. An attachment station in operative alignment with the delivery plane receives the folded workpieces and fastens the sides to each other along a predetermined attachment line, for example to form a sewn pocket assembly.
