Abstract
Transport plate (28) is moved downwardly into engagement with work product (25) and the plate (28) moves the work product to the edge finisher, such as sewing head (12) (FIG. 3). When the first edge (68) covers the first sensor (61), the transport plate (28) begins its movement from right to left (FIG. 4) so as to move the first edge (28) through the edge finisher, and the edge is finished as with an overedge stitch. When the second edge (69) uncovers the second sensor (62), the transport plate (28) rotates around an axis of rotation (75) (FIG. 5), causing the work product (25) to be rotated about the same axis of rotation (75) and the edge finisher forms the overedge stitch about the curved path until the second edge (69) covers first sensor (61), whereupon the linear right to left movement is resumed (FIG. 7).
