Thread tail control apparatus and method |
摘要 |
An apparatus for removing a thread tail from a hole in a presser foot on a quilting machine. The apparatus has an orifice providing a stream of pressurized air that applies a force against a section of the thread tail extending between the needle and the hole in the presser foot. The pressurized air stream pulls the thread tail through the hole in the presser foot and gathers the thread tail on an upper side of the presser foot. In another embodiment, the present invention includes a method of automatically applying a generally transverse force to a portion of the thread tail extending between the needle and the hole in the presser foot for a duration sufficient to remove the thread tail from the hole in the presser foot.
