To provide a sewing machine with good abrasion-resistant, anti-seizing, and anti-sliding properties even in the condition that a supply of lubricant is restricted.

A sewing machine 1 includes nitriding compound layer made of a porous layer and a dense layer formed on the surface of a base material composed of low-carbon steel and low-carbon alloy steel not applied with hardening treatment, on which an intermediate layer made of a metal layer such as Cr or W is interposed by a sputtering coating method and formed with a DLC layer over the intermediate layer. Interposing an intermediate layer between the base material and the DLC layer improves adhesiveness of the base material and the DLC layer. Forming a DLC layer on the very top surface improves the hardness of the surface and lubricity by reducing the friction resistance of the surface. By this durability of the same level as ordinary sewing machines which are supplied with lubricant forcibly can be achieved even under a dry condition where lubricant is not supplied forcibly.
