To highly accurately perform motor needle stop despite being inexpensive.

This sewing machine includes: a main spindle 14 for transmitting a vertical movement driving force of a sewing needle; a sewing machine motor 11; a motor control device 10; deceleration phase detection means 13, 16 and 17 detecting that the main spindle is in the deceleration phase; immediately-before-stopping phase detection means 12, 16 and 17 detecting that the main spindle is at a phase immediately before stopping; and stop phase detection means 13 and 17 detecting that the main spindle is at the stop phase; wherein the motor control device has a deceleration control part 50 for decelerating the sewing machine motor by the detection of the deceleration phase, a temporary stop control part 51 temporarily stopping the sewing machine motor by the detection of the immediately-before-stopping phase, and a needle stop correction control part 52 re-starting the sewing machine motor, and stopping the rotation of the motor when the stopping phase is detected and further the stopping phase is not detected after the temporary stop.
