This sewing machine is provided with a stop member for stopping the downward movement of the presser foot holder in the case that the cushion piece on the retainer is left out. This stop member is provided with a cushion piece on its upper surface to stop the abutting member provided in the presser foot holder in the shock-absorbed condition. Besides, this stop operation is performed in the condition where a clearance to place cloth is made between the upper surface of the bed and the lower end of the presser foot. As a result, in the normal condition, it is needless to say that the sewing work can be performed without damage of the cloth or without occurrence of big sound, and even in the abnormal condition that the cushion piece employed on the retainer to prevent the occurrence of the noise has been left out, the sewing work can be continuously performed preventing damage of the cloth or occurrence of excessively big sound. |
