by seven steps of the motion of the process mf2 and accordingly the feed dog 44 is made to retreat until the sector gear 60 contacts the first stopper 68 whose position corresponds to the first feed limit position pa performing a horizontal feeding motion of a process f11 at the end of this process f11 the feed pulse motor 62 is excited into the predetermined phase a and therefore the feed dog 44 performs a process f12 being positioned at the position p1 thus out of step of the pulse motor 62 in continuous operation of the sewing machine is eliminated in addition in this embodiment the operation according to steps sbt6 and sbt14 is equivalent to the operation of the first excitation controlling means the operation according to step sbt1 is equivalent to the operation of the second excitation controlling means and the operation according to steps st29 st30 sbt1 sbt3 through sbt6 and sbt14 and the like is equivalent to the operation of the movement sequence setting means the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiment as detailed above and various changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as claimed for example in this embodiment the stitch forming controlling apparatus 92 and the main motor controlling apparatus.
