An ornamental sequin system including a selected visual adaptation provided in a visual plane of at least one sequin to form an ornamental sequin system surface of interlaced colors or images is set forth.

An apparatus for feeding plate-shaped functional elements to a sewing or stitching machine comprises a first guide rail which extends in a longitudinal direction between a first end and a second end and which has a first delimiting surface and a first guide surface extending transversely with respect to the first delimiting surface, a second guide rail which extends in the longitudinal direction between a first end and a second end and which has a second delimiting surface, facing the first delimiting surface and extending parallel to the first delimiting surface, and a second guide surface extending transversely with respect to the second delimiting surface in the direction of the first guide rail; and a transporting device configured to move a functional element resting on the first and the second guide surface from the first end of the guide rails in the direction of the second end of the guide rails.
