PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a multi-needle sewing machine by which an image of a needle drop position of a sewing needle may be captured from a position that is straight overhead in relation to the needle drop position. SOLUTION: The multi-needle sewing machine includes a needle bar case 21 that is movable to the right and to the left is mounted on the front end of an arm. Six needle bars 31 are lined up inside a frame 24 provided in the interior of the needle bar case 21. In the needle bar case 21, the needle bar case 21 is moved in the lined up direction of the six needle bars 31 by a needle bar case moving mechanism. In sewing, sewing is performed using a needle bar 31 disposed straight overhead in relation to the needle drop position, of the six needle bars 31. An image sensor holding mechanism 51 holding an image sensor 52 is provided at the right end of the frame 24, such that the image sensor holding mechanism is aligned with the six needle bars 31. The needle bar case 21 is moved to move the image sensor 52 to be positioned straight overhead in relation to the needle drop position. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
