Abstract
A shiftable backing feed and shiftable needle assembly is utilized with a tufting machine having reciprocating needles and gauge parts for seizing or cutting yarns wherein marginal step yarn placement techniques can be utilized in connection with a row of needles to minimize over-sewing needle positioning, and three axis shifting may be employed to optimize stitch locations in the backing fabric.
