An invisible stitch hemming device for sewing tubular workpieces having first and second vertical walls interconnected and angularly disposed one to the other. A feeler element disposed in close proximity with the walls detects areas of the workpiece having increased thickness and is operatively connected to an actuating means which is effective when such areas are detected in displacing the first wall to permit unrestricted advance of the workpiece and simultaneously the second wall moves to a position for maintaining the workpiece in alignment with the sewing axis.

Invisible stitch hemming for tubular material

A device for sewing machines having more than one stitch forming needle for grouping together and aligning the threads of stitch chains with the sewing axis which were formed on individual tongues of the machine's needle plate. An integral projection formed on the needle plate in spaced relation to the tongues is provided on each side thereof with camming surfaces one of which is effective in grouping all of the threads together withdrawn from their respective tongues and the other guides the grouped threads to a position for entry into one of the plate's needle throats after which they become aligned with the sewing axis and then cut to a desired length and the cut portion restrained for incorporation into the next seam to be formed.

Device for controlling stitch chains in sewing machines having a

A device for orienting a chain of stitches severed from a completed workpiece to a position where the end is taken by a gripping apparatus and the intermediate portion placed in a predetermined location where it cannot be displaced by the next workpiece while incorporating the chain into the initial stitches of the seam being formed thereon.

Device for cutting and positioning a chain of stitches on a sewing

A needleplate for a two-needle sewing machine of the type for simultaneously forming a straight stitch chain and an over cast stitch chain. The plate is provided with guide surfaces which interconnect the needle holes in the plate and a device for increasing the quantity of thread normally used by the looper associated with the needle for forming the straight stitch chain. At the completion of a sewing cycle the combination of the guide surfaces and excess looper thread permit the straight stitch chains to be moved toward and in alignment with the overcast stitch chain so that they will be incorporated together in the initial stitches formed in the following workpiece.
