In a method for automatically attaching successive fly strips to a continuous slide fastener chain. The strips are fed to a standby point one after another by a conveyor horizontally spaced from a sewing machine by a gap in which the standby pointis point is disposed. A preceding strip is supplied from standby point to the sewing machine with its trailing end portion hanging in the gap. While a succeeding strip is kept waiting at the standby point for a subsequent supply. When the trailing end of the preceding strip has passed a fixed point downstream of the standby point in the gap as the sewing of the preceding strip progresses. The succeeding strip is supplied at a speed higher than the rate at which the sewing of the preceding strip progresses.
