Apparatus for dispensing fabric from a bolt in which the bolt is cradled in a loop of an endless belt and unwound by driving the belt. The length of fabric unwound is accurately measured by measuring the distance of belt travel, and provision is made for presetting the length of fabric to be unwound, manually starting the belt to unwind the fabric, automatically starting measurement of the length unwound when the leading end of the fabric passes a predetermined point, and automatically stopping the belt when the preset length has been measured. The fabric unwound from the belt is automatically folded, and presented for being cut.
