Abstract

A sewing machine presser foot being attached to a presser foot bar provided near a needle bar via a presser foot support member in a sewing machine, the sewing machine including a throat plate and a needle bar up-down movement mechanism configured to cause an up-down movement of the needle bar holding a sewing needle. The sewing machine presser foot includes: a first presser foot and a second presser foot supported by the presser foot support member; a first presser foot portion supported to be movable up and down in conjunction with the up-down movement of the needle bar; a second presser foot portion supported to be movable up and down; and an adjustment portion configured to adjust a height position of the second presser foot portion with respect to the throat plate.

Claims (24)

1 . A sewing machine presser foot being attached to a presser foot bar provided near a needle bar via a presser foot support member in a sewing machine, the sewing machine including a throat plate and a needle bar up-down movement mechanism configured to cause an up-down movement of the needle bar holding a sewing needle, the sewing machine presser foot comprising:

a first presser foot and a second presser foot supported by the presser foot support member;

a first presser foot portion supported to be movable up and down in conjunction with the up-down movement of the needle bar, the first presser foot portion being provided in the first presser foot;
