This invention relates to spangle machines and
has for its object the provision of an improved
spangle machine.

_ Machines have heretofore been proposed for
sewing pre-formed spangles to fabric. Such ma

fact that the spangles are tiny discs, very thin

because of the fact that it would be impossible
to sew the spangles onto the fabric in overlapped
