  • Patent number: 5054407
    Abstract: A presser foot for use in sewing an elongate ribbon-like material to a fabric sheet includes a sole and an adjustable ribbon/sequin guide assembly through which the ribbon-like material slidably passes. The ribbon/sequin guide assembly includes a tubular guide portion which slidably envelopes a portion of the ribbon-like material, and defines, in connection with the sole, a needle dropping gap through which the needle of a sewing machine penetrates the fabric to sew the ribbon-like material thereto. The ribbon/sequin guide assembly is laterally movable, as a unit, by the positioning of a nut on a threaded shank which is fixed relative to the sole. Extending upwardly from the tubular guide portion of the ribbon/sequin guide assembly is a U-shaped yoke which is slidably received onto the threaded shank. A nut, which is threaded onto the shank, is positioned within the yoke to move the ribbon/sequin guide assembly laterally as the nut is rotated about the shank.
