from the magnet 51 through the open end of the cavity 35 draws the hook 71 or an eye into the cavity 35 and holds it therein with the outer opposed curved surfaces of the eyelets 73 bearing against the arcuate spaced walls 37 of the cavity 35 a piece of fabric 63 is positioned on a table 65 below the needle 61 the attachment is now moved downwardly so that the bottom of the foot 31 rests on the fabric 67 the needle 61 now stitches the hook 71 or the eye to the fabric 67 by alternate motion into each eyelet 73 the attachment is now moved upwardly and the fabric 63 with the hook 79 or the eye stitched thereto is removed and the process repeated the horizontally extending foot portion 31 and the shank portion 21 may be perpendicular to one another it has been found advantageous however to make the angle therebetween slightly greater than 90 u00b0 preferably about 100 u00b0 so that the extended end 33 of the foot 31 toes slightly downward it is further advantageous to bevel the bottom of the foot 31 so that the bottom portion 55 near the extended end 33 is perpendicular to the shank 21 the downward toe and the bevel 55 of the foot 31 brings the eyelets 73 closer to the fabric 67 producing a tighter stitching thereto the novel attachment does not require the insertion of the hook or the eye into the cavity 35 by pressure furthermore there are no moving.
