Abstract
A container includes a cover body and a holding body, and is removably mounted on a needle plate of a sewing machine including a horizontal shuttle. The horizontal shuttle includes an inner shuttle that includes a bobbin containing portion. The cover body is plate-shaped, is removably mounted in the needle plate in a position above the horizontal shuttle, and includes a through-hole and a first face that occupies the same plane as a top face of the needle plate when the cover body is mounted in the needle plate. The holding body is disposed inside the bobbin containing portion and includes a side wall and a bottom wall. The side wall encircles an area of a second face in which the through-hole is formed. The second face is a face on the opposite side of the cover body from the first face. The bottom wall is opposite the second face.
