Abstract
A feeding mechanism () feeds a plurality of continuous sequin strips (), which are supplied in an overlapped state, a predetermined pitch at a time to a sewing mechanism () while keeping the continuous sequin strips in the overlapped state. The sewing mechanism sews leading sequins (S, S) of the respective continuous sequin strips together in the overlapped state onto a sewn-to member. A cutting mechanism () cuts the sequins sewn at the same time in the overlapped state. For example, a plurality of continuous sequin strips let out from a plurality of reels () housing the respective continuous sequin strips are overlapped via a lead-in section (), so that the plurality of continuous sequin strips () are supplied in the overlapped state. As a result, a highly decorative sequin sewn member in which a plurality of sequins are overlapped can be produced with ease.
