A sewing machine guiding tool includes a presser foot, a holder and a gauge. The presser foot includes a bottom wall and a rear support. The bottom wall is formed with a needle-passing hole and with a slit extending from the needle-passing hole to the front end of the bottom wall. The rear support is connected to the rear end of the bottom wall. The holder, attached to a presser bar of the sewing machine, holds the presser foot pivotally about a horizontal axis. The gauge, supported by the rear support to be slidable in parallel to the horizontal axis, includes a ruler plate and a guide portion. The ruler plate has a surface marked with a scale. The guide portion extends from the ruler plate. The ruler plate is disposed above the bottom wall with its surface inclined to become higher as proceeding rearward.

A seam ripper includes a metal blade member, a handle and a slider. The blade member is supported by the handle and made of a shaft and a blade part at an end of the shaft. The slider causes the blade member to move between a retracted position and an advanced position. The shaft is housed in the handle at the retracted position. The blade part and at least a portion of the shaft are outside the handle at the advanced position. The blade part includes a cutting blade flanked by a needle portion and a ball-shaped portion. When the blade member is at the retracted position, the entirety of the needle portion is housed in the handle, and a portion of the cutting blade is exposed to the outside of the handle.

A presser foot for a sewing machine has a bottom wall, first and second side walls, and a guard piece. The bottom wall has front and rear ends. In addition, the bottom wall is provided with a needle-passing hole and a first slit extending from the needle-passing hole to the front end. The first side wall and the second side wall are formed integral with the bottom wall and spaced apart from each other in a width direction of the bottom wall. The guard piece is attached to the first side wall to cover the gap between the first side wall and the second side wall from above. In plan view, the guard piece is spaced from the needle-passing hole and does not overlap with the needle-passing hole. The guard piece and the second side wall are spaced apart from each other by a second slit.
