A label push-in element 31 is provided under a label 65 put at a label rest position and a label retainer 6 is disposed over the label. The push-in element is advanced upwards to force the intermediate portion of the label into the retainer and is retracted after the retainer has clipped the label. The retainer is moved horizontally to a sewing position over a cloth 64 spread on a sewing machine table. When the retainer is moved the end portions of the label protruding from the retainer hit an object near the sewing position, such as the edge of the table, and are folded towards the direction opposite to that of movement of the retainer. The end portions overlapped on the edge of the cloth are sewn thereto by a sewing machine. <IMAGE> |
