A nail-like member or a needle plate auxiliary plate is so provided as to cover the center part of the needle hole and to have a nail part tip projected in the cloth feed direction beyond a needle location toward the rear side of the sewing machine. A gap is provided at the tip side of the nail-like member for allowing a bobbin thread, which crosses the back surface of the nail-like member, to pass therethrough to the upper surface side of the needle plate. Alternatively, a gap is provided for allowing a bobbin thread, which crosses the back surface of the needle plate auxiliary plate, to pass therethrough to the upper surface side of the needle plate.
