CONSTITUTION: The spangle holding member 58 is composed of a spangle case 60 and a spangle case holding plate 62 and the holding plate 62 is horizontally movable along slide shafts 72 and 74 together with the case 60. The belt-like spangle S is sent out in the turning direction of a sprocket 158. Since a knife driving lever 154 is swung together with a feeding lever 150, the moving knife 172 of a cutting device 168 is vertically moved while being supported by a knife fixing base provided with a blade part and cuts the connection part (j) of the belt-like spangles S moved at the lower part. After cutting, stitches are formed on a cloth W clamped by an embroidery frame 50 freely movably disposed on a work table 52 by a sewing thread accompanying the vertical movement of a needle 10 and the spangles S cut into pieces are sewed to the cloth W simultaneously.
