Abstract: Quilts (120) are made from unquilted comforter bags (206) without premounting the panel on a rectangular frame (11,11a). A leading edge clamp (50,250) is preattached along the leading edge of a panel and fed from an operator station (15) onto a shuttle (20) movably mounted on the frame of a programmed single needle quilting machine (10,10a). Opposed belt conveyors (61,62) on opposite sides of the shuttle (20) advance the clamp (50,250) and pull the panel onto the shuttle (20), gripping the side edges of the panel as it is pulled. A trailing edge clamp bar (48) frictionally engages the panel as the panel is pulled onto the shuttle (20). The shuttle (20) reciprocates longitudinally under a sewing head (18) that moves transversely on the frame (11,11a) to stitch a pattern in the panel. A pickup head (86) engages the clamp (50,250) on the shuttle (20) and moves it to an outfeed table (81,281) at the top of the frame where the clamp (50,250) releases the quilted panel (120), folded once, onto the table (81,281) from which it conveyed to a stacker (200) by belt conveyors (82) or a moveable conveyor table (283). Preferably, the quilted panels (120) are conveyed to an elevator platform (302) at the operator station (15) that lowers a stack (320) of quilts (120) onto a cart (204) on which the unquilted panels (206) were supplied. When a quilted panel (120) is free of the shuttle (20), another front edge clamp (50,250) is clamped to the next panel to similarly pull it onto the shuttle (20). When a clamp (50,250) has released a quilted panel (120) at the outfeed table (81,281), it is returned by the pickup head (86) to the operator station (15) where it is released for reuse.

Abstract: A waist band (18) is placed in straddling relationship about spindles (11-14). The waist edge (24) of the garment body (19) is telescoped about the waist band (18), also in straddling relationship about the spindles (11-14). The garment parts are advanced by the rotation of the spindles (11-14) past a sewing needle (17) that forms a line of stitching at the aligned edges of the shirt body and waist band. In the meantime, the end spindles (11 and 13 and 14) move longitudinally along the sewing path to adjust the position of the waist band in response to the position of the folded edges (22, 23) of the waist band (18) as detected by band sensor 128, and the star wheels (119) engage and urge the waist band (18) and the garment body (19) toward or away from the sewing path (16) as controlled by band and body edge sensors (112, 129). When the previously sewn edges of the garment parts begin to return to the sewing machine (36), one of the spindles (13) moves laterally so as to stretch the garment parts more, so as to remove any bunching of the waist edge (24) of the garment body (19) at the sewing needle (17) and presser foot (39), to avoid forming a wrinkle in the garment body (19) at the end of the line of the stitching (29).

Abstract: A continuous loop waist band (10) is placed in edge alignment with a garment body (11), and the garment parts are stretched about spindles (19, 20, 21 and 23). The spindles are moved away from one another so as to stretch the aligned edges of the garment parts. The edges of the garment parts tend to curl when stretched, and an edge decurler (84) removes the curl from the stretched garment parts as the edges approach the sewing machine needle (26). Edge guide (102) maintains the plies of material in overlying contact so as to make sure the curls do not reappear in the garment parts as the parts approach the sewing machine.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for creating a "serging", "overlock" or "504" stitch wherein the excess thread chain (44) extending from the sewing machine needle to the previously sewn garment part (54) is cut in a manner to create a leading thread chain of a predetermined length extending from the sewing machine needle, and the free end of the leading thread chain is drawn off by a stream of air flowing into a hollow member (31) acting as a chaining tongue (29). The leading thread chain is subsequently progressively withdrawn from the chaining tongue and oversewn into the stitching of a succeeding garment. The hollow member (31) acting as the chaining tongue (29) is integrally formed with the throat plate (21) of the sewing machine (20). A vacuum reservoir (81) is connected to the hollow member (31) to create the air flow through the hollow member to draw the leading thread chain therein.
