A system for measuring the pressing force of the presser foot of sewing machines comprises a lever type force absorption element which is elastically deformable by the pressing force of the presser foot and which is provided with an electric sensor responding to the deformation. Connected with the sensor is a circuit which contains a digital display on which the pressing force is indicated in newtons.
