A method for making a pile article from yarn continuously along a processing path which comprises the steps of: winding the yarn at a stationary winding station from a spindle attached to a shaft which rotates the spindle into loops; supporting said winding station on said shaft while said shaft rotates; binding said loops at opposite ends thereof at a binding station to assemble said loops into a continuous structurally assembled pile while providing support for said loops until structurally connected; drivingly engaging said assembled pile to transport said loops and said assembled pile along said processing path through said winding and binding stations; and further comprising stabilizing said winding station stationary from a base outside said winding station, and wherein said stabilizing step is carried out magnetically.
