subject: Apparatus for sewing kinesio tape [print this page] Conventionally, in such a sewing machine, the elastic kinesio tape to be sewn is fed to have suitable tension on the fabric. Thus, in the course of the elastic tape from the bobbin to the presser foot, the elastic tape is passed between a pair of retaining members pressing the elastic tape. The retaining members are adapted to press the elastic tape by urging a movable retaining member onto a fixed retaining member by the force of a spring.
