Presented are automated manufacturing systems for fabricating engineered textiles, footwear and apparel formed with such engineered textiles, methods for making such engineered textiles, and memory-stored, processor-executable instructions for operating such manufacturing systems. An automated manufacturing system constructs engineered textiles from workpieces composed of superposed, unwoven wires. The system includes a movable end effector bearing a stitching head and an image capture device. The stitching head has a thread feeder and sewing needle to generate stitches. The image capture device captures images of the workpiece and outputs data indicative thereof. A system controller receives this image capture device data and locates, from the captured image of the workpiece, gaps defined between quadrangles of the superposed wires. The controller commands the end effector to sequentially move the stitching head and thereby align the sewing needle with the gaps, and commands the stitching head to insert a succession of stitches within these gaps.

A sewing machine needle is attached firmly and easily, and is fixed and exchanged. A needle clamp 5 for clamping a sewing machine needle 3 has an accommodating recessed part 7 which accommodates a needle shank 15 of the sewing machine needle, a clamp lever which has a clamp arm 21 which engages to the needle shank, is freely opened and closed and is fixed to a clamp lever shaft 17 which is fitted loosely to an elongate hole which is bored at the needle clamp for the accommodating recessed part and a needle fixing spring 23 which repels elastically the clamp lever to an outer direction of a straight line which links a central point N of the needle shank and a central point of the clamp lever shaft, and the clamp arm has a force acting locking part 22 which slides on the needle shank of the sewing machine needle against elasticity of the needle fixing spring when rocking the clamp lever to a clamping direction a and passes a branch point position tp that the elasticity of the needle fixing spring of the straight line which links the central point of the needle shank of the sewing machine needle and the central point of the clamp lever shaft becomes maximum and holds a stable clamping state by the elasticity of the needle fixing spring.

The present invention comprises ornamental interchangeable defensive comfort devices for high heeled shoes and low heeled shoes. The defensive compact shoe comfort device has also a unique glow in the dark components which can be included but not limiting to in the bow section of the device making it completely different from any defensive shoe device. The defensive compact shoe comfort device has an elastic band which is used to secure the defensive compact shoe comfort device to the high heel. The elastic band is located at the bottom of the compact shoe comfort device. At the center of the compact shoe comfort device is a decorative bow. The compact shoe comfort device also provides a flap which is inserted into the back of the shoe and keeps the compact shoe comfort secured to the high heel shoe and the back of the foot with comfort because of the gel strip that is attached to the flap of the compact shoe comfort.
