Abstract
An automatic tuck forming apparatus includes a mechanism folding a piece of fabric and an improved clamp having a longitudinally and forwardly extending member for grasping the fabric and for moving the fabric along a stitching axis. The clamp also defines a downwardly projecting element on the forward portion thereof and a channel which is disposed on the stitching axis so that the needle of a sewing machine can pass therethrough during the stitching of the fabric.
