Abstract
An apparatus for forming and sewing a waist band to complete a pair of briefs. The apparatus includes a band maker for forming the waist band. The apparatus also includes at least one sewing machine adapted to receive the waist band and a pair of briefs and to sew the waist band onto the pair of briefs. A band inverter and loader transfers the waist band from the band maker to the sewing machine. Finally, a transfer assembly transfers the pair of briefs from an upstream work station to the sewing machine where the waist band and pair of brief are sewn together.
