Herein disclosed is a below the throat plate thread trimmer which is moved in a path from the right side of the rotary hook assembly, up and over it and then downwardly to the left of it. The path being in the nature of a compound angle whereby elements of the thread cutter portion pass into the needle thread loop at a most advantageous angle. After securing and separating the bobbin thread and respective legs of the needle thread loop, the thread trimmer is moved to position directly below the needle hole. While in this position the bobbin thread and one leg of the needle thread loop are cut.

Thread trimmer

A sewing machine attachment for inserting a preselected size label to the underside of the garment which is to be sewn. A predetermined length of ribbon is cut from a label storage area, engaged and folded upon itself by an inserter band which advances the label to a transporter assembly. The label is presented above the feed dog and below the material by the transporter assembly, which maintains a parallel relationship with the work support of the machine during its path of movement, whereby insuring accurate delivery of the label into close proximity with the sewing area. The label is removed from the transporter by the feed mechanism, which advances the label, along with the garment to be sewn, to the sewing area. A pneumatic control system sequences the label insertion operation.
