The present invention relates to a method of seaming a gusset to a garment characterized by supporting the garment (10) on a support which comprises an elongate member (70) open at one end onto which the garment is drawn and inner support means (74) displaceable relative to said member for gripping said gusset (22); presenting the gusset (22) to and supporting it at said one end of the support with the periphery of the gusset overlapping the periphery of an opening in the garment for receiving the gusset, said gusset being stretched at least in one direction to a preselected extent, and mechanically seaming the garment and the periphery of the gusset together while simultaneously rotating the gusset and the garment relative to a seaming machine and through at least 360.degree. about an axis passing through the gusset to secure the gusset to the garment by a single continuous seam.
A method of seaming a gusset to a garment characterised by supporting the garment (10) on a support which comprises an elongate member (70) open at one end onto which the garment is drawn and inner support means (74) displaceable relative to said member for gripping said gusset (22);
Apparatus for seaming a gusset to a garment characterised in that there is provided a support for receiving said garment, said support comprising an elongate support member (70) open at one end onto which the garment (10) is arranged to be drawn and inner support means (74) displaceable relative to said member (70) for gripping the gusset (22) so as to enable an opening in the garment to be brought into overlapping relationship with the periphery of the gusset;
