To express a delicate and fine pattern, moreover, a curved pattern.

This embroidering sewing machine has a needle receiving part 2 for forming a recessed part 2a for housing a felt needle, a needle holding part 3 for peripherally arranging a plurality of elastic pieces 3a opposed to this recessed part and a pressing part 5 for sandwiching the felt needle between the recessed part and the elastic pieces by elastically deforming the elastic pieces toward the needle receiving part, and has a felt needle holder 1, a linearly reciprocating mechanism 10 for linearly reciprocating the felt needle holder and a cloth moving mechanism 30 for moving cloth in an almost plane. The cloth moving mechanism 30 has a presser foot 31 for pressing down and moving the cloth, a parallely reciprocating mechanism 40 for reciprocating the presser metal in almost parallel to the plane, an orthogonally reciprocating mechanism 50 for reciprocating the presser foot in the almost orthogonal direction to the plane and an interlocking mechanism 60 for moving the cloth by allowing the presser foot to make loop-like motion by interlocking the parallelly reciprocating mechanism 40 and the orthogonally reciprocating mechanism 50.
