Abstract From the Canadian patent

Trouser-fly pieces are sewn to a continuous slide fastener chain and at the same time are serged along a curved edge. Variable spacing between the serged curved edge and the line or lines of stitches sewing the fly pieces to the fastener chain is made by selective puckering of each fly piece between two sewing mechanisms. The trailing end of each fly piece is lifted during the sewing to permit the positioning of the next fly piece against a stop.
