A sewing machine for automatically making edge-parallel seams comprises a scanning device for recognizing the geometric form of the workpiece edge and a pressure piston lowerable laterally of the stitch formation point. For straight workpiece edges extending at an angle to each other, the pressure piston, having been lowered onto the workpiece with the sewing machine stopped, is rotated around the needle which is inserted in the workpiece, the workpiece being taken along accordingly. For a convexly arcuate edge pattern, first the lateral distance of the pressure piston from the needle is readjusted in such a way that it corresponds to the radius of the edge arc (e.g. scallop). Thereafter, with the sewing machine continuing to run, the pressure piston is lowered, whereupon the feed dog of the sewing machine rotates the workpiece around the pressure piston.
