Abstract
A waistband attachment system (10) for sewing an elastic waistband into the waist portion of a garment is disclosed. The waistband attachment system includes a sewing head assembly (16), a puller roller assembly (24), a waistband expansion assembly (44), a bottom edge guide assembly (64), a folder wire (102), a top edge guide assembly (128), and a folder assembly (148) about which the elastic waistband and the unfolded waist edge of the garment are passed. The unfinished waist edge of the garment is folded about the elastic waistband by the folder wire and finish folded by the combination of a folder tongue/finish folder so that a top ply of the waist portion of the garment overlies an opposed bottom ply to enclose the elastic waistband therein. The bottom edge and top edge guide assemblies, respectively, are constructed and arranged to progressively move the waist edge of the garment into a knife (170) of the sewing head assembly for trimming the excess portion of the waist edge along the folded and hemmed waistband as it is sewn into the garment.
