A sewing machine that includes a sewing bed on which a plurality of cloth pieces are placed in a manner of being overlaid on each other; a felting needle; a woolen yarn guide provided at a lower end of a safety cover for covering the felting needle; and a device configured to raise and lower the felting needle toward the plurality of overlaid cloth pieces, and the woolen yarn guide is configured to guide a woolen yarn from a bobbin or a woolen yarn ball to a sewing location, and the device is configured to raise and lower the felting needle so that needle felting in which the felting needle is thrusted into the plurality of cloth pieces and the woolen yarn is performed, and thereby the plurality of cloth pieces are sewn together.

This invention is a fitted bed sheet that converts to a completely flat bed sheet by releasing the elastic and zippers placed on each corner. This allows this bed sheet to be easily folded like a flat sheet and easy to store. This bed sheet is designed to be reversible—one side creates a more traditional look, the other has a more ornamental design.

An automatic loading and unloading device includes a frame, an unloading unit, a receiving unit and a receiving link unit. The frame defines a processing area, an unloading area and a receiving area. The unloading unit includes an unloading slide rail, and an unloading drive group movably disposed on the unloading slide rail for driving at least one plate to move from the processing area to the unloading area. The receiving unit includes a receiving slide rail, and a receiving lift group movably disposed on the receiving slide rail for driving the at least one plate to move from the unloading area to the receiving area. The receiving link unit interconnects the unloading drive group and the receiving lift group.

A device may be used to selectively and automatically thread one or more needles, such as hair sewing/weaving needles.

The present disclosure relates to apparatuses and methods for making tampons including primary and secondary absorbent members. During assembly, primary absorbent members, a continuous length of secondary absorbent members, and a continuous cord are advanced in a machine direction. Leading edges of the primary absorbent members are separated from each other in the machine direction by a pitch distance. Discrete secondary absorbent members are cut from the continuous length of secondary absorbent members. Leading edges of the discrete secondary absorbent members are also separated from each other in the machine direction by the pitch distance. The continuous cord is positioned on a first surface of the secondary absorbent members. And a second surface of a secondary absorbent member is positioned in contact with and in a facing relationship with a primary absorbent member. A thread is sewn through the continuous cord, the secondary absorbent member, and the primary absorbent member.

A device may be used to selectively and automatically thread one or more needles, such as hair sewing/weaving needles. A threader arm of a plurality of threader arms may be selected via an interface. The selected threader arm may be configured to push a portion of a thread through an eye of a needle received at a needle receptacle associated with the selected threader arm.

A stitching system includes a jig capable of joining two shoe parts and capable of being used in an automated stitching machine. The jig includes a lower member capable of being operably coupled to the automated stitching machine and an upper member also capable of being operably coupled to the automated stitching machine. The two shoe parts are held in place between the lower member and the upper member. The lower member, the upper member and the two shoe parts therebetween are moved by the automated stitching machine in accordance with a pattern stored in the automated stitching machine.
