Abstract
The present invention relates to the seaming of a spade gusset (12) into an opened seam in panti-hose by supporting the garment (10) on a carrier which comprises a head (22) onto which the panti-hose is drawn and inner support means (32, 36) displaceable within an opening (24) in the head for gripping the gusset (12) in the opening with the periphery of the gusset overlapping the periphery of the opening in the panti-hose, the gusset being stretched at least in one direction to a preselected extent. The edges of the panti-hose opening and the periphery of the gusset are mechanically seamed together while the carrier is moved relative to a seaming machine to seam the gusset to the panti-hose by a single continuous seam.
