ABSTRACT:
An attachment for a sewing machine comprises a looper bar positionable for horizontal oscillation underneath a vertically reciprocating needle, at a level determined by a workpiece feeler engaging the upper surface of a fabric being sewn, which is swingably carried on the stem of a presser foot resting on the workpiece while the latter is intermittently advanced by a bottom feeder periodically rising from a slot in a stitch plate and a reciprocable gripper foot synchronized therewith to act as a top feeder. A first sensor detects a rise in the presser foot, to an extent indicating the presence of resilient padding between an upper and a lower fabric layer, to activate the looper bar; a second sensor temporarily deactivates the first sensor whenever the bottom feeder projects above the stitch plate. The first sensor can also be used to change the stroke of the top feeder relatively to that of the bottom feeder whenever the workpiece thickness is found to surpass another threshold indicative of the need for providing one fabric layer with an excess of material compared with the other layer.
