This invention relates to an interior structure for a vehicle interior. More particularly, the invention relates to an apparatus and method for stitching vehicle interior components

In addition to one or more of the features described above, or as an alternative to any of the foregoing embodiments, the cylinder arm assembly and the downshaft assembly may be interchangeable with another cylinder arm assembly and another downshaft assembly such that the post assembly can be relocated with respect to the needle bar assembly.

Additionally, the head 10 can have an adjustable design such that it may be reconfigured to accommodate a variety of different part shapes and sizes through the use of a reconfigurable lower arm assembly 32 (illustrated schematically in at least FIG. 2), which consists of an adjustable downshaft position in combination with interchangeable cylinder arm shaft and housing assemblies 16 each having different lengths in combination with interchangeable downshaft assemblies 30 having different lengths. As such and as illustrated in at least FIG. 2, vertical clearance between the upper and lower portions of the head can also be adjusted (with or without cylinder arm extensions) via the use of interchangeable downshaft assemblies 30 and looper shaft/housing components (e.g., interchangeable cylinder arm shaft and housing assemblies 16).
