A looper is rotated under a throat plate, a stitching needle moves up and down through a needle hole formed in the throat plate and thus a cloth on the throat plate is stitched. After the cloth has been stitched, the thread between the needle hole and the looper is brought to a thread holding means disposed aside by thread drawing pieces and is maintained at its position by the thread holding means. Accordingly, even when the thread at this position is cut over the thread holding means, the thread can remain extending from the looper.
