ABSTRACT:
An automatic placket shirt front forming machine and method for sewing placket shirt fronts is provided which utilizes an apparatus and method to automatically position, sew, mitre cut and remove a sewn placket shirt front and stack the placket shirt front. The method and apparatus requires the operator to only master the task of properly layering the material which may be facilitated by utilizing a set of guides. Once the material is layered and aligned, the operator has only to activate a start or reset button to clamp, transfer and position the placket shirt front and automatically start the sequential operation of sewing and mitre cutting, thread cutting and stacking of the finished placket shirt front. The method of the present invention forms placket shirt fronts by initiating the sewing of the placket shirt from the bottom of the placket shirt opening and sewing outwardly to the top or neck portion of the shirt resulting in the application of the invention to chain stitch, lock stitch and a variety of other types of sewing machines. The present apparatus includes means for incrementally advancing the placket shirt front as the sewing machine slits and sews the garment and thereafter automatically positions the garment for the mitre cut and automatically removes and stacks the shirt.
