Abstract
A needle thread guide device containing an articulated thread feeder oscillating in a vertical plane on a sewing machine provided with a skip stitch mechanism working at intervals to form stitches of varying lengths, wherein a thread catcher is combined with a thread lever which can be engaged and disengaged synchronously with the skip stitch mechanism and which aligns in its operating position with a hook eye open to the top at a position of the upper area of the ascending movement part of the thread lever eye with the latter, thereby catching the thread loop which is carried along by the thread lever.
