This sewing needle holding device (10) is provided with: a holder (24) which holds the base end side of a sewing needle (14) provided with, from the leading end side toward the base end side in the extension direction, a small diameter portion (16), an outer diameter varying portion (20a), and a large diameter portion (18); and a presser member (26) which is mounted to the holder (24). The holder (24) causes at least the small diameter portion (16) and the outer diameter varying portion (20a) of the sewing needle (14) to protrude from a holder leading-end surface (34). The presser member (26) has a counter portion (46) that faces the holder leading-end surface (34). The counter portion (46) has formed therein an insertion hole (50) through which the small diameter portion (16) can be inserted. At least a part of the insertion hole (50) is provided with a pressure-receiving surface (52) that comes into abutment with the outer diameter varying portion (20a).
A sewing needle holding device that holds a sewing needle having a small-diameter portion disposed on a distal side in a direction in which the sewing needle extends, a large-diameter portion disposed on a proximal side and having a larger diameter than the small-diameter portion, and a varying-outer-diameter portion disposed between the small-diameter portion and the large-diameter portion,
