An apparatus (20) is provided for feeding and slitting mattress covers, quilts and other soft goods (32) supported on a table (158). The apparatus has a first slitting wheel (42) rotatable by a motor (24). A second slitting wheel (64) is rotatable by the motor and contacts the first slitting wheel to provide a cutting action.
