Abstract: Equipment that positions and clamps a piece of cloth or the like on a base fabric through a jig-guide (13) (17), moves automatically when a first seam has been sewn on the most external edge. In this way it is possible to sew further seams in the inner part of the first seam according to any preset pattern. The said jig-guide is coupled to a further device the purpose of which is the facilitation of the loading and positioning operations during which the pieces of cloth are to be loaded and positioned. Such operations are carried out very easily and quickly through a load sliding plane (31) which is provided only with precise references and does not have any further mechanism which might hinder the insertion of the cloth. The sliding plane (31) moves on a fixed bed (32) since the edges of the first plane are bent downwards on the edges of the second plate and the first plane slides on the second plate through the a piston or the like (42).
