The presser lifting mechanism of a sewing machine includes a cloth presser, a pressing rod which holds the cloth presser by a bottom end portion thereof, a rod holder which is fixed to the pressing rod, a pressing spring a bottom end portion of which is in contact with a top end portion of the rod holder and which pushes the cloth presser downward via the rod holder, a push-up member through which the pressing rod is inserted so as to be movable in the vertical direction and which is in contact with the rod holder from below and can pushed it up, a link body which is in contact with a bottom surface of the rod holder and is connected to the push-up member, and a presser motor which is linked to the link body and serves as a drive source for elevation and lowering of the cloth presser.

A sewing machine assembly includes a sewing machine frame, a main presser bar, and a presser foot assembly. The sewing machine frame includes a frame base, a frame body that extends from the frame base, a frame head coupled to the frame body that extends from the frame body toward the frame base. The main presser bar is mounted to the frame head of the sewing machine frame. The presser foot assembly includes an auxiliary presser bar offset from the main presser bar.

Provided is a sewing machine comprising: a feed dog drive mechanism to drive a feed dog; a switching mechanism connected to the feed dog drive mechanism and configured to be slid in a right-left direction to switch between an operating state and a non-operating state of the feed dog; and a carriage drive mechanism to drive a carriage which holds an embroidery frame, wherein the carriage drive mechanism is configured to be switchable between an unfolded state and a folded state thereof, and the carriage and the switching mechanism are configured to form, in the folded state, a state in which the carriage can press the switching mechanism to slide the switching mechanism, whereby when the carriage is moved in the eight-left direction in the folded state, the switching mechanism is slid, and thus the operating state and the non-operating state of the feed dog are switched therebetween.
