A feed mechanism for a sewing machine with a material feed dog includes a support for a feed dog which is attached thereto and which is slidably mounted on a feed link and is connected with a drive for its transverse motion that is controlled independently of the main shaft. To effect a low inertia drive, the drive includes a link mounted on a pin firmly fixed to the housing. The link has a bearing drive piece eccentrically positioned with respect to the pin and in drive-contact with the feed dog support. The drive piece comprises an eccentric that surrounds the pin and abuts against a side surface of the support, thus providing a simple drive mechanism. In order to ensure low-friction transmission, the side surface of the support which is in contact with the eccentric is constituted by an abutment piece and in addition, transmission is accomplished via a roller bearing surrounding the eccentric.
