Abstract: An adaptor for sewing machines permits a fabric to be fed past the stitch forming area in a choice of two perpendicular directions. The adaptor includes feed dog means and a support plate for said feed dog means. A first connector assembly produces horizontal backward and forward reciprocating movements of the feed dog and support plate and a second connector arm assembly produces a horizontal sideways reciprocating movements of the feed dog and support plate. A rocker rod assembly mounted below the feed dog and support plate includes a pair of axially aligned rocker rods, one of the rocker rods being a powered rod and the other being a driven rod. The driven rod is operatively connected to the first connector arm assembly and the powered rod is operatively connected to the second connector arm assembly by way of a freely rotatable sleeve mounted on the powered rod.
