To prevent long projection of pile yarn end generated every change of needle by arranging a shear apparatus comprising a pair of upper and lower saw-like edged tools in contact with back stitch face of colorful tufted fabric obtained by selectively tufting many pile yarns having different colors.

Upper and lower saw-like edged tools 19 and 20 are constituted so that edged tool 20 on the lower side has action of a base fabric pressing plate 21 for pressing the base fabric 16 to the lower side and the edged tool 19 on the upper side is reciprocatable in width direction of the tufting machine and the periphery of the two sheets of saw-like edged tools 19 and 20 are formed as tips 12 and 13 of the blades and many comb teeth having same pitch as gauge of needles 15a and 15b are positioned so as to protrude to operation position of needles 15a and 15b toward back stitch 14 and fluff 11 is sheared between the comb teeth.
