Abstract: A sewing machine includes a presser foot (2) mounted pivotably about a horizontally aligned axis (1), which is configured to cooperate with an undertransporting apparatus disposed on a support area (3) for a material to be sewn, which includes two material sliders (4, 5) mounted movably with respect to one another for the continuous transport of the material in a feed direction. Both material sliders (4, 5) are configured to be extended horizontally when viewed in the feed direction both in a region before and in a region after the axis (1) of the presser foot (2).
