Image data is converted into a mosaic image formed from blocks that are elongated in a stitching direction. In the mosaic image, blocks adjacent in the direction perpendicular to the stitching direction, that is, vertically adjacent blocks, are shifted out of alignment in the stitching direction. A thread color is set for each of the blocks, and embroidery data is produced accordingly. When embroidery patterns are sewn using this embroidery data, lines in the perpendicular direction will not stand out because blocks adjacent in the perpendicular direction are shifted out of alignment in the stitching direction. Also, because the blocks are shortened in the perpendicular direction, the resolution is enhanced and lines in the stitch direction will also not stand out.
