3.0 Anatomy of the Sequin Attachment 

 
There are numerous components to the sequin attachment that must work together to produce a finished 
product.  Many of the parts have to be adjusted to feed and cut sequins properly.  Brief descriptions of each item 
are provided, followed by step-by-step instructions on how to adjust them.  

 

 

 

Reel Holder –  

Holds the reel of sequins to be sewn onto the finished product.  The reel holder provides 
a minimum tension on the reel to keep it from unwinding as the sequins are dispensed. 

 
Reel Tension Arm - 

Provides a constant tension to the string of sequins as they are dispensed. 

 
Servo Motor - 

 

Feeds the individual sequins based on speed of the machine and mode selected. 

 
Position Adj. Knob -  

Provides for small adjustments of the entire mechanism closer to or farther from the 
needle for different size sequins. 

 
Spring Hold Down - 

Keeps the string of sequins from over-feeding or from back feeding as they are 
dispensed. 

 
Finger -   

 

Engages the sequin in the center hole and feeds the sequin out to be cut. 

 
Hard Stop - 

Provides a mechanical stop for the finger as it feeds out sequins.  It sets the position of 
the fed sequin so the knife can cut it. 

 
Knife - 

Cuts the individual sequin from the string of sequins.  The knife is actuated by the 
needle bar end clamp. 

 
Knife Guide - 

Provides mechanical support for the knife and acts as a hold down for the front edge of 
the channel guide. 

 
Channel Guide - 

The channel guide keeps the string of sequins flat, straight and in-line with the needle as 
the sequins are dispensed.
