Abstract
A presser foot assembly is mounted to a sewing machine and includes a bifurcated skid for mounting to the sewing machine in alignment with and projecting in front of the sewing station and a wheel mounted on the skid which is biased downwardly through the slot of the tines of the skid into yielding contract with the material extending through the sewing station. When a tape feed apparatus is moved to a position in front of and aligned with the wheel and the sewing station, the tape moves with the base material beneath the wheel and through the sewing station where it is sewn to the base material. When the tape feed apparatus is moved out of alignment with the wheel and sewing station, the tape no longer moves beneath the wheel and to the sewing station.
