Abstract
An upper decorative stitching spreader 11 is switched active or inactive by an upper decoration switching mechanism 25. By placing the spreader 11 in active state, upper decorative stitches which are formed from above the fabric are added to the conventional over-edge chain stitches and lower decorative stitches which are formed from below the fabric. On the other hand, by placing the spreader 11 in an inactive state; that is, by stopping the spreader 11, over-edge chain stitching without upper decorative stitching, and lower decorative stitching which is performed from below the fabric are performed without interference with the spreader 11.
