Abstract: A guide device for a sewing machine which is used for at least hemming of a bottom of a work, sewing a tape on the work and sewing a rolled hem tape on the work comprises four guide members. A first guide member has a regulating surface for regulating an edge of the tape supplied beneath the work, and is mounted on the bed of the sewing machine. A second guide member has two regulating surfaces which regulate the position of one edge of the work or one edge of the rolled hem tape and the position of the other edge of the rolled hem tape, respectively, and is fixedly mounted on the first guide member. A third guide member has a narrow space into which the work or one fold of the rolled hem tape is inserted, and is mounted on the first guide member. A fourth guide member has a pushing surface for pushing the other fold of the rolled hem tape against said second guide member, and is mounted on said third guide member.
