Abstract
A cutting mechanism for cutting off a leading sequin from a continuous sequin strip in response to sewing operation is constructed to cut off the sequin at substantially the same time as a sewing needle pierces a sewing workpiece. For example, the cutting mechanism includes a movable cutter blade, and an abutting member that, in response to sewing operation, abuts against the movable cutter blade to move the movable cutter blade in a predetermined direction so that the sequin is cut off by the movable cutter blade. The abutting member is provided in a presser foot that presses down the sewing workpiece in interlocked relation to the sewing needle during the sewing operation.
