typically recessed into and coplanar with the work plate 34 the guide rollers 32 are preferably power driven using conventional methods so that the ribbon material 10 is drawn from the work plate 34 of the stitching machine 30 in time with the stitching operation the purpose of the rollers 32 is to maintain tension in prevent buckling the ribbon material 10 during and after it has been stitched if the ribbon material 10 is not pulled from the stitching machine 30 the stitch can become distorted or otherwise uneven and unattractive and the various elements of the invention ribbon wire and filaments will not be secured in a satisfactory manner the drive speed of the rollers 32 is dictated by the feed rate established by the internal feed carrier 38 not shown in detail typically protruding from within the needle plate 40 the feed carrier 38 pulls the ribbon material 10 from a supply roll not shown it is conventionally known that the drive speed of the guide rollers 32 and the feed rate of the feed carrier 38 should be matched during high speed edge stitching so that the ribbon material 10 can be drawn from the supply roll stitched.
