Abstract
Sequin feeding operation is performed by causing a feed lever () to move forward with a distal-end hook portion () of the feed lever engaging a sequin center hole () of a continuous sequin strip () let out from a reel () and then placed on the upper surface of a supporting plate (), and the successive sequins can be fed one by one by repeating forward and rearward movement of the feed lever. Lock lever () having an engaging claw () engageable with the sequin center hole is pivotably supported near the feed lever. When predetermined-pitch feeding, by the feed lever, of the continuous sequin strip has been completed, the engaging claw () of the lock lever is caused to engage a center hole following the center hole engaged by the hook portion of the feed lever, to thereby immovably lock the continuous sequin strip.
