In the present invention, an embroidery machine has a needle bar case (5) provided with a plurality of needle bars (3). When a main shaft (6) is rotated by a main shaft motor (first drive source) (60), the needle bars (3) are lift-driven and a known sewing operation is carried out. Lifting bars (15) are supported in the needle bar case (5) so as to respectively correspond to the needle bars (3), and each lifting bar (15) is lift-driven by a motor (second drive source) (16). As a substitute for a known fabric pressing body (18), at the lower end of the lifting bars (15) a cord guiding body (20) is attached that guides a cord material (27) above an object-of-sewing material. By changing the lifting stroke of the lifting bars (15), cord sewing or loop sewing of the cord material (27) is selectively carried out. Due to this configuration, it becomes possible to selectively carry out cord sewing and loop sewing of the cord material using a simple configuration. |
