Abstract
In order to facilitate the stitching of a finding such as a hook or an eye with two or three spaced-apart locations to an underlying fabric, an attachment for a sewing machine with a transversely oscillating needle or work table has a base on which a cross-slide assembly is mounted for supporting a retaining device movable in two mutually orthogonal directions under the control of a handle and a guide member displaceable along a part-circular track. The retaining device has a pointed stud engageable with the fabric and a gripper or clamping jaw adapted to hold the finding which, together with the fabric, is thus displaceable by the handle into any of three different positions relative to a stitching station aligned with the sewing machine.
