Abstract

The invention relates to a sewing machine and a control method thereof. The sewing machine enables an operator to determine the facial line tensile force before the sewing operation. A CPU judges whether or not the position of a foot rest belongs to a driving area (S90). The driving area is the position of the foot rest when the operator steps the foot rest to a stepping-up position (Pb1). The stepping-up position (Pb1) is arranged along a direction which is opposite to an operation in which the operator steps the foot rest from a neutral position (Pn) to a stepping-down position (Pf2) in order to do the sewing action. When the position of the foot rest is in the driving area, the CPU stops a cloth pressing member to move to a pressing position (S170), and a line clamping spiral line tube works to apply a tensile force (S180) to the facial line, so the operator can determine the facial line tensile force.
