Embroidery machine and embroidery frame holding device

摘要

A embroidery machine 2 has a first arm 3R in which a part of an embroidery frame 1 may be held, and a second arm 3L projecting in the same direction as the first arm, and in which another part of the embroidery frame 1 may be held. A long guide holding part 5 as extends in a direction to intersect with the direction by which the first arm 3R and the second arm 3L project. At least one of the first arm 3R and the second arm 3L can slide on the long guide holding part 5 such that a spacing M between the first arm 3R and the second arm 3L may be varied. A releasable fixing device is mounted to releasably fix at least one of the first arm and the second arm in at least one desired position on the guide holding part.
