Abstract: A sewing machine that can be easily set up for minimizing selvedge includes a needle plate assembly and a reciprocating needle. The reciprocating needle is supported above the needle plate for joining at least two pieces of material together. A sew guide is spaced laterally from the reciprocating needle a predetermined distance corresponding to a selvedge length of selvedge extending from the joined material for guiding the pieces of material being joined beneath the needle. A spacer abutting the sew guide laterally spaces the sew guide at the predetermined distance corresponding to the selvedge length.

Abstract: A head restraint assembly comprising a frame assembly including a retention member. A pillow coupled to the frame assembly with the pillow configured to allow access to the retention member. A cover assembly having a back end and a front end envelopes and conforms to the shape of the pillow with the cover assembly including a flat strip member coupled to the back end and a barb strip member coupled to the front end of the cover assembly. The flat strip member and the barb strip member couple with each other in the retention member closing the cover assembly over the pillow. Also, a method for making a head restraint assembly.

Abstract: An article and an apparatus and method for making the article. The article including a first piece of material having a margin extending inwardly from an edge of the material. The margin has an inner edge spaced from the material edge. A second piece of material having a margin extending inwardly from an edge of the second material is joined to the first piece of material along inner edges of the margins. A third piece of material is fixed over the margins, and has a first edge fixed to the first piece of material and a second edge fixed to the second piece of material.
