Apparatus for seaming a gusset to a garment comprising an elongate support for receiving said garment, means for mounting said gusset to enable an opening in the garment to be brought into overlapping relationship with the periphery of the gusset;
- a seaming machine for seaming the gusset and the garment together, said support and mounting means being displaceable relative to said machine to bring the machine into engagement with the garment and gusset, and wherein said support and mounting means are rotatable relative to the seaming machine through an angle of at least 360.degree. and about an axis arranged to pass through the gusset to enable the gusset to be secured to the garment by a single continuous seam.
