IMPROVEMENT TO SEWING MACHINES COMPRISING AN AUTOMATIC GUIDING DEVICE FOR THE WORKPIECE

摘要

Sewing machines comprising automatic guide apparatus for the piece, have a presser foot adapted to bear against the piece during operation so as to turn the piece, this bearing of the presser foot being controlled by a detector. A device for regulating the stitch length and a device for regulating the speed of operation of the machine are provided, and the control device for stitch length and the control device for the speed of driving of the piece are actuated by application of the guiding presser foot so as to increase the stitch length and reduce the speed as long as the presser foot is applied, that is, so long as the machine is stitching around a curve.
