<p>In an automatic embroidering machine generally, stitch data for realizing an embroidering operation corresponding to a desired embroidery design is stored in a stitch data memory, the stitch data is read from this memory and the embroidering operation is executed in accordance with the read out stitch data. The stitch data includes data representing X, Y moving amounts of an embroidery frame for each stitch. In the embroidering machine according to the present invention, graphic pattern data of a desired embroidery design stored in this stitch data memory is supplied and displayed by a display device. Thus, display of the embroidery design for confirmation can be readily made without actually performing the embroidering operation. Besides, frame graphic pattern data for graphically displaying the shape of an embroidery frame is supplied and displayed by the display device. By displaying the embroidery design pattern and the embroidery frame together, whether or not the embroidery design fits in the embroidery frame can be detected. This detection may be automatically made on the basis of the pattern data of the design pattern and the frame pattern. Further, as the embroidering operation advances, graphic pattern data of a finished portion of the embroidery design is supplied and displayed by the display device.</p> |
