Abstract :
Describes a two-dimensional automatic stitching system, which can be used to apply decorative stitches to flat workpieces. Unlike conventional systems with similar capabilities, customised style dependent work pallets are not required. This leads to a considerable reduction in overhead costs. The system has been successfully demonstrated using both leather and synthetic materials.<>
