A second lever is attached to the lever 5 and an attachment for the flat sewing with balance stitches is detachably attached to one side of a frame 1. A slide rod 24 converting the oscillating movement of the second lever into sliding movement is attached to a slide guide part 21 provided on the attachment, and a thread guiding member 22 for the flat sewing with balance stitches is attached to the outer end of he slide rod.
