Abstract
Abstract A positioning guide and fastener combination used in joining together adjacent sections of garments and the like. It is the exacting alignment of the adjoining next adjacent garment sections which is established and maintained by a mounting and positioning guide comprised of transversely stiff tapes affixed, permanently or temporarily, to the fastener assembly and having juxtaposed edges engageable into the full depth of the fold that establishes the usual seam allowance. The said tapes are longitudinally flexible and properly position the complementary sides of the fastener which are then sewed to their respective said next adjacent garment sections.
