A looper control apparatus for sewing machines which are adapted to form seams of double chain stitches both in a forwardly and reverse direction of sewing. The apparatus includes first and second driving devices for effecting travel of the looper in an elliptical pathway while sewing in a forwardly direction. A disconnecting mechanism is effective upon a selection to sew in a reverse direction in deactivating the second driving device so that the looper is actuated only by the first driving device which causes it to travel in a rectilinear pathway on one side only of the machine's needle.
