Abstract
A main body (an arm assembly and a bed assembly) of a sewing machine is made movable in both fore-and-aft direction and in a lateral direction over an extended area as compared with the size of an overall sewing machine to extend an area over which a sewing operation is enabled while simultaneously increasing the sewing rate. An arm assembly 5 and a bed assembly 2 are completely separate from each other mechanically, and are each supported by an independent shifting mechanism 10, 20 for movement through a same travel in directions of X- and Y-axes to shift a sewing position.
