Abstract

See full text

A controller of a sewing machine obtains a rectangular frame embroidery pattern and obtains a first unit pattern to be laid out in each of four corner portions of the embroidery pattern and a second unit pattern to be repeatedly laid out in each of side portions of the embroidery pattern. The controller determines, based on the size of the embroidery pattern, the number of repeats of the second unit pattern in a target side portion. The controller generates pattern data for the embroidery pattern including the first unit pattern being laid out in each corner portion and the second unit pattern being laid out in the target side portion as many as the determined number of repeats of the second unit pattern. The controller causes the sewing machine to form the embroidery pattern on a workpiece held by an embroidery hoop based on the generated pattern data.
