A quilt binding press for folding and creasing a strip of binding fabric in a continuous engagement with a heated iron. The binding press has an iron engagement support platform with a pair of upstanding spaced parallel binding guides provides a folding and guide path for a strip of binding material be folded and pulled there across the support platform for engagement with a heated iron there between the guides in a continuous manner.

A method and the device for acquiring and processing measurement quantities in a sewing machine (1) using at least one camera (25), situated on a sewing machine (1), for the acquisition and processing of image data for sewing machine elements and sewing elements. An image processing unit connected downstream from the camera (25) processes the images supplied by the camera (25), taking into account data stored in a target quantity memory, and influences the behavior of the machine control unit dependent on the result of the processing.

The present disclosure generally relates to a clamping system. Particularly, the present disclosure relates to a clamping system for holding material to be sewn/embroidered by a sewing machine.

A sewing machine includes: a presser spring depressing a presser bar; a presser main body fixed thereto, including a presser; a lower feed dog protruding further upward than a needle plate, to feed a sewing target rearward; an upper feed mechanism above the lower feed dog, that includes an upper feed dog behind a needle location and feeds the sewing target rearward via the upper and lower feed dogs; and a spring presser release mechanism relatively movably mounted on the presser bar, including a transmission member transmitting presser spring force to the presser bar, and operating when the lower contacts the upper feed dog, lifting the transmission member relative to the presser bar, to release the force applied thereto. The movement of the transmission member with respect to the presser bar during spring presser release mechanism operation matches a movement of the lower feed dog protruding from the needle plate.

A fabric clamp that passes under the presser foot of a sewing machine is provided. The clamp has a loop of resilient strip folded over upon itself, an upper slotted lever, and a lower slotted lever. The resilient strip has an upper portion, the terminus of which defines an upper planar jaw, and a generally planar lower portion, the terminus of which defines a lower planar tongue, joined by a curvilinear central portion. The upper portion of the resilient strip passes through the upper lever. The lower portion of the resilient strip passes through the lower lever. The total transverse width of the portions of the tongue is no more than about 12 mm. The curvilinear portion urges the jaw and tongue together. When the upper jaw and the tongue are adjacent and the levers are urged together, the jaw and the tongue are displaced from adjacent deployment.
