A plastic woven fabric sewing machine includes a stitching device on a tabletop of a worktable in which two overlapped fabrics are placed on the tabletop to be stitched, a tip of a needle portion of a stitching needle cylinder penetrates through the two fabrics to enter a thread knot shaping recess, a plastic material in a chamber is injected into the thread knot shaping recess from a needle hole, after the injected plastic material is cooled, it forms a thread knot to buckle the two fabrics, the tip of the needle portion is retracted from the two fabrics to generate a short stitching thread section, the tip of the needle portion is displaced on the two fabrics to complete one stitch of the two fabrics, the two fabrics are stitched together through continuous multiple stitches, and the stitches each have the thread knot.

Sewing machine with a sewing machine housing (2) comprising a lower housing part (3), an upper housing part (4) with a sewing head (6) and a stand (5), which connects the lower housing part (3) to the upper housing part (4), wherein the upper housing part (4) comprises a stand-side arm housing section (7), a head-side arm housing section (8) and a joint (23), wherein the joint (23) is arranged in such a manner that the head-side arm housing section (8) can be swiveled between a preparation position for the picking up/delivering of a sewing material and a sewing position for sewing the sewing material.

Elastic thread lines can extend along borders of puckering areas of a fabric. The thread lines can include elastic thread line sections of the thread lines passing through thread line intersections and segments of the thread lines between the intersections. The elastic thread lines can bias the puckering areas in multiple different non-parallel directions toward a puckered configuration. In the puckered configuration, the puckering areas can be gathered together to pucker the fabric. The fabric can be stitched together to form a product, such as a sleeping bag sack that is stretchable in multiple orthogonal directions by stretching the thread lines. Elastic thread line sections passing through intersections can be made more secure by forming thread line section patterns that increase numbers of thread line crossings at the intersections. Densities of thread lines in different directions can be selected to produce different amounts of gathering, and for security.

An apparatus and method for applying stitches to a decorative component having a three dimensional configuration is provided. The apparatus having a head with a needle bar assembly operatively coupled to the head; a looper configured to cooperate with the needle bar assembly in order to provide a plurality of stitches in the decorative component, the looper rotating in a plane parallel to the decorative component; and a post assembly configured to drive the looper in a reciprocating fashion in the plane, wherein the post assembly is operatively coupled to a motor configured to drive the needle bar assembly in a reciprocating fashion.
