A method for forming a loop (1, 1') of flexible tape material and for fixing the loop (1, 1') to a textile piece, in particular to the border of a textile piece, comprising the following method steps: - the tape material is conveyed in the form of a strip in a conveying direction extending in parallel to the strip, out of a tape material supply or is drawn from a tape supply spool, - the first front end of the strip, in the conveying direction, is held in a clamping way at a first clamping position, - further tape material is conveyed out of the tape material supply or is drawn from the tape supply spool until a length of the strip sufficient for forming a loop is obtained, - wherein the strip forms a single loop, - the strip is then held in a clamping way at a second clamping position that is spaced from the first clamping position and that holds a second end of the strip, - the tape material is cut through in the direction of the tape material supply behind the second clamping position, is separated from the supply of tape material, and is singulated to a strip, which has a sufficient length for forming the loop (1, 1'), - wherein the strip already formed to a single loop extends between the first clamping position and the second clamping position, - the thus positioned first and second ends (7, 12) are positioned transversely to the border of the textile piece and in alignment therewith - or the thus positioned first and second ends (7, 12) are aligned from a position differing from an alignment position transversely to the border of the textile piece into a position, in which they are positioned transversely to the border of the textile piece, - the loop (1, 1') is fixed with the ends (7, 12) to the textile piece. - the tape material is conveyed in the form of a strip in a conveying direction extending in parallel to the strip, out of a tape material supply or is drawn from a tape supply spool, - the first front end of the strip, in the conveying direction, is held in a clamping way at a first clamping position, - further tape material is conveyed out of the tape material supply or is drawn from the tape supply spool until a length of the strip sufficient for forming a loop is obtained, - wherein the strip forms a single loop, - the strip is then held in a clamping way at a second clamping position that is spaced from the first clamping position and that holds a second end of the strip, - the tape material is cut through in the direction of the tape material supply behind the second clamping position, is separated from the supply of tape material, and is singulated to a strip, which has a sufficient length for forming the loop (1, 1'), - wherein the strip already formed to a single loop extends between the first clamping position and the second clamping position, - the thus positioned first and second ends (7, 12) are positioned transversely to the border of the textile piece and in alignment therewith - or the thus positioned first and second ends (7, 12) are aligned from a position differing from an alignment position transversely to the border of the textile piece into a position, in which they are positioned transversely to the border of the textile piece, - the loop (1, 1') is fixed with the ends (7, 12) to the textile piece.
