A sewing machine wherein integrally attached to a cylindrical driving ring circumferentially reciprocated around a cylinder bed and linearly reciprocated along the axis of the cylinder bed is a cylindrical frame which holds a cylindrical material, the driving ring being rotatably supported by a support member disposed so that the driving member contacts the support member at three or more circumferential places. With such arrangement employed, the driving ring and hence the frame body attached thereto can be reduced in diameter, and the driving ring can be supported by the support member in a stabilized manner for smooth rotation. As a result, a cylindrical material of small diameter, such as a golf club cover or a wrist band, can be held by the frame body, so that sewing by machine, such as embroidery, can be properly applied to the periphery of the cylindrical material.
