Abstract: The present invention has a support member which rotatably supports a reel by supporting the outer periphery of the reel at least two positions and a posture restriction member (a pair of wall members or press roller) which restricts a posture of the reel supported by the support member. As another example, the reel is rotatably held in the hold member, and the hold member is supported by the support member and its posture is restricted by the posture restriction member. As still another example, the reel is arranged between a pair of wall members and the reel is pivotally supported by inserting the support member which has a support shaft which is suitable to be inserted detachably in an insertion hole provided in at least a pair of wall members.

Abstract: Sequin feeder apparatus includes at least two sequin feed units each including a sequin feed mechanism for feeding a continuous sequin strip toward a predetermined cutting position and a sequin-cutting cutter section located in the predetermined cutting position. One of the sequin feed units is selected and positioned in a predetermined sewing operation position, and driving force of a feeding drive mechanism is transmitted to the sequin feed mechanism to feed out a sequin. Respective cutting positions of the cutter sections of the feed units are adjustable independently of each other.

Abstract: An embroidery frame for holding an embroidering fabric in a spread-out condition is detachably attached to mounting members at a predetermined position. Positioning members are removably fixed to a base frame at a predetermined position. The mounting members are attached to the positioning members so that their mounted positions relative to the positioning members are adjustable, so that the embroidery frame is adjustably and removably mounted on the base frame via the mounting members and the positioning members. Once the position of the mounting members relative to the positioning members has been established, and when the mounting members are to be detached from the base frame, the mounting members only have to be detached together with the positioning members so that the relative positional relationship between the adjusted positional state of the mounting members relative to the positioning members can be maintained.

Abstract: Embroidery frame (2) for holding an embroidering fabric in a spread-out is detachably attached to mounting members (6, 12) at a predetermined position. Positioning members (17, 18) are removably fixed to a base frame (1) at a predetermined position. The mounting members (6, 12) are attached to the positioning members (6, 12) in such a manner that their mounted positions relative to the positioning members (6, 12) are adjustable, so that the embroidery frame (2) is adjustably and removably mounted on the base frame (1) via the mounting members (6, 12) and the positioning members.

Abstract: Provided is an embroidery frame clip which can effectively prevent itself, without marring operability of fitting it to an embroidery frame, from slipping off the frame, when the tension of an embroidering cloth is increased as stitching goes on. The embroidery frame clip is designed to hold an embroidering cloth a in tension over a rectangular embroidery frame 1 by clipping the cloth a between a rail 2 formed on an upper surface of the embroidery frame circumferentially along the inner rim thereof and the clip fitted on the rail 2. The clip has a clip main body 6 to be fitted on the rail 2 and auxiliary members 7 attached to the clip main body 6, for preventing the clip main body 6 from deforming to open as stitching of the embroidering cloth goes on.
