Abstract:
1. A multi-needle sewing machine including a sewing machine body, comprising: a plurality of needle bars that each allow attachment of a sewing needle at a lower end thereof; a needle-bar case that supports the plurality of needle bars so as to be movable up and down; a needle-bar case transfer mechanism that selectively switches one of the plurality of needle bars to a needle drop position by transferring the needle-bar case relative to the sewing machine body; a first wiring and a second wiring that are each connected to an electrical component provided at the needle-bar case and that are each extended across the sewing machine body and the needle-bar case; wherein the first and the second wiring are held such that the first wiring and the second wiring are separated in a direction of transfer of the needle-bar case and a first intermediate portion of the first wiring and a second intermediate portion of the second wiring are curved so as to either cross over or proximate one another to allow the first wiring and the second wiring to be moved relative to one another at the first intermediate portion and the second intermediate portion.
