is spaced horizontally a substantial distance from the needle as shown by the spacing 49 in fig1 fig1 shows the sewing thread 50 which is to be guided by the guide this thread leads from a source indicated diagrammatically at 52 in a known manner in present sewing machines and then it is wrapped over the pin 28 of the attachment and specifically around the roller 46 this thread may be wrapped completely around the pin to assure its not being accidentally lifted off of the pin the thread then leads to the needle at 54 and is threaded therethrough in the usual manner for convenience in referring to the assemblage of the needle presser foot and thread guide the needle and presser foot are at an inner end and the upper end of the thread guide pin 28 at an outer end the two lengths 50 a 50 b of the thread 30 at the pin 28 are held out away from the needle fig1 and this prevents that portion of the thread from being tangled or snagged by the needle as will be understood the thread as it is being fed in a sewing step as oriented in fig1 is pulled away from the needle to the right by the material being sewed at the bottom of fig1 and thereby the upper and lower lengths 50 a 50 b are taut this pulling action to the right on the thread in the sewing step pulls the thread in the same direction and thereby pulls the guide in the same.
