A fabric picking and transferring device for transferring one or more top fabric plies from a stack of such plies. The device comprises a support body having a fabric engaging end. The housing is displaced toward the stack to position the fabric engaging end on an uppermost ply of the stack. At least two picking needles are supported by the body and each has a pointed engaging end portion. The needles are disposed in opposed offset facing relationship and at a shallow angle with respect to the plane of the uppermost ply, with the pointed engaging end portion retracted inside the fabric engaging end of the body. An actuating mechanism is provided for moving the fabric engaging end of the needles a predetermined distance outwardly of the fabric engaging end with the fabric engaging ends crossing one another, and wherein the needles will penetrate in each of the one or more uppermost fabric plies.
