Abstract
An automatic mattress handle sewing workstation is employed to install cloth handles to an mattress border two at a time. A flat handle is placed in a pair of twirler clamps which turn the ends of the handle 180.degree. to underlie the remainder of the handle. The twirler clamps are now moved to place two handles in a position under first and second sewing heads and above the web of mattress border. Clamps hold the positions of the handles while the twirler clamps are withdrawn. The left end of each of the two handles is now sewed to the border. The right ends of the handles are then transferred to the sewing heads. A clamp engages the right side of the handle and the right end of the handle is sewn to the border.
