A
Located between the vertical feed dog 29 and the free endfof the work arm is a horizontal 4-2 motion feed dog 41.which1is fixed tonne end of 'a feed bar 42 pivoted at its other ,end to.the upperend of thefeed rocker or lever 17. The feed rocker 17 functions to impart backward and nected to an actuating link 48 which extends along and within the work arm and is operated by the mechanism disclosed in my parent application.
It is of coursevto be understood that the details variously changed and modified without depart'- ing from the spirit and scope of my invention. I claimt-.- 4 In' a sewing machine, the combination with a front vertical 4-motion feed dog, of a rear horizontal 4-rnotion feed dog, means including a single feed rocker for imparting back and forth movements to both dogs, and means for imparting horizontal reciprocations to the front feed dog and vertical reciprocations tothe rear feed dog.
