Abstract (en)
The sewing machine attachments of this invention include an arm (56) that is pivotally mounted and controlled by a pneumatic motor (58) whereby the arm (56) can be pivotally moved relative to the sewing machine. In one embodiment, the outer end of the arm is provided with gripping apparatus (38), (40) arranged to receive and hold an overlay (36). Upon pivotal movement of the arm (56), the overlay (36) is placed in position on the workpiece and held there by the presser foot (30) of the sewing machine so that the overlay (36) can be sewed to the workpiece. In another embodiment, the outer end of the arm is provided with gripping apparatus and with folding blades so that an overlay placed therein can have edges thereof folded and gripped by the gripping apparatus. Upon pivotal movement of the arm, the folded overlay is deposited adjacent to the workpiece and held there by the presser foot while the overlay is sewed on the workpiece.
