The selector 4 includes an armature 43 and an elastic leg piece 44 extending towards a tail end side opposite to a needle bed gap side. The needle selecting device 2 includes a needle selecting actuator 10 and an interrupt cam 20. The interrupt cam 20 is arranged bulging out at a position facing the needle selecting actuator 10, and cuts in between the armature 43 and the elastic leg piece 44 of the selector 4 to spread the spacing between the armature 43 and the elastic leg piece 44 when the carriage 300 travels on the needle bed 100. As a result, the selector 4 is supported by the carriage 300 in which the interrupt cam 20 is arranged.
