ABSTRACT:
For the purpose of sewing appliques to garments of an air porous fabric, the surface on which the garment is supported during the sewing process is provided with numerous small holes arranged in an area around the needle of the sewing machine. A source of vacuum is connected to these openings, the amount of vacuum being applied being adequate to hold the fabric of the garment firmly against the support surface and the applique firmly against the garment. The air pressure differential created by the vacuum is sufficient to positively hold the applique in place even though it and the garment are moved rapidly to align the target to be stitched with the needle.
