Grooves can be detected on both sides of non-magnetic materials, preferably in terry fabric, carpets, blankets, or the like. A sensor is provided, which can be either inductive or capacitive, and is positioned on one side of the material opposite a rotatable and movable follower or finger on the other side. The finger is preferably made of ferromagnetic material and is resiliently biased towards and in contact with one surface of a material such as terry fabric. The sensor continuously monitors the distance between the finger and a reference point and generates a signal when a change in such distance occurs.
