Abstract
An embroidery unit for use with a sewing machine, the sewing machine having a lower free arm (19) with a cloth feed dog (20), a column (16) with a drive unit, and a top arm (17) with a needle bar mechanism (18). The embroidery unit has a housing (10) which can be releasably attached to the free arm of the sewing machine. The housing has a first, stationary arm (11) provided with a first, stepping motor driven slide (12) movable parallel to the free arm. A second, movable arm (13) extends perpendicularly to the free arm and has a free end and an end attached to the first slide. The second arm is movable above the free arm between the feed dog (20) and the column (16) and has a second, stepping motor powered slide (14) carrying a hoop (15) which, by operation of the two slides, is movable in two mutually perpendicular directions. The second arm is movable to an inoperative position adjacent to the column (16) in order to enable normal sewing without having to remove the embroidery unit from the sewing machine.
