When operating a sewing machine for sewing a sewing product section 12 along a seam, wherein at least one sewing parameter can be set in advance by the sewing machine 1, the joining shim is a plurality of multiple-seams It is subdivided into sections 19, 20, 23, 21 and 22. The individual parameter-seam sections 19, 20, 23, 21, 22 are also assigned sewing parameter-values. The sewing product portion 12 is then sewn along the sequence of the shim operation-seam sections b1, c1, e1, f1, h1, i1, starting from the sewing starting point 17. One stitch-operation parameter can each be switched between the sequence of actuation-seam sections. When starting sewing, the sewing product section 12 is sewn with a preset start-sewing parameter-value. When a replacement is made between two successive operation-seam sections b1, c1; e1, f1; h1, i1, the sewing parameter-value is switched automatically. As long as such replacement is made in one parameter-seam section 19, 20, 23, 21, 22 assigned one sewing parameter-value different from the sewing parameter-value set at the time, automatic switching is made. As a result, an operation method in which the sewing of the sewing product section is simplified is obtained.
