Abstract
An attachment for a sewing machine for inserting a selected length of elastic in a hem formed along a fabric edge, such as for example along the corners of a bed sheet, to thereby contribute to the form-fitting performance of the product. During sewing attachment of the elastic, it is contacted by a member disposed across its feed path, with the desired result that the elastic expands and is thus sewn in place with a controlled degree of tension. The aforesaid elastic-tensioning member, however, is effectively cleared from the elastic feed path during initial positioning or feed of the elastic to the sewing station by a track member which initially moves with the elastic and makes path-clearing contact with the elastic-tensioning member.
