Abstract (en)

A sewing machine, especially a multi-head machine used for decorative embroidery, is provided with a presser foot (7), through which the sewing needle (6) passes, having two parts (140 and 141) spring-biased together to trap an auxiliary decorative thread between them. The thread is released when an upper arm (15) of one of the two parts impinges on a stop (4a) during the upward stroke of the needle and presser foot, and this permits the formation of a loop as the presser foot again descends, gripping the thread. The loops aree secured to the fabric by stitches formed in the main thread. Any stations of a multi-head machine can be modified in this way without altering the performance of any other station.
