Abstract

A buttonhole or eyelet sewing machine includes a housing. A machine head is slidably mounted on the housing and moves between a home position and a sew position. A bed plate is slidably mounted on the housing. A needle mechanism is mounted on the machine head and is movable in a reciprocal manner with respect to the housing. A first motor is mounted on the housing. The first motor directly drives the machine head between the home position and the sew position. A second motor is mounted on the housing. The second motor directly drives the needle mechanism. The second motor directly drives the bed plate to permit stitching about a buttonhole or eyelet.
