Abstract
A sewing machine includes a needle bar to which a sewing needle is attached, a needle bar up-and-down motion mechanism moving the needle bar up and down, a cutting unit including a cutting needle having a distal end formed with a blade and a cutting needle up-and-down motion mechanism which is independent of the needle bar up-and-down motion mechanism and moves the cutting needle up and down. A position spaced from a needle location by a predetermined distance on a sewing machine bed is a cut location where a cut is formed by the blade upon an up-and-down motion of the cutting needle.
