Claim:
An embroidery data-processing device comprising: a contour-extracting device that extracts a contour line for depicting an embroidery region on a basis of pattern data; an embroidery data-creating device that creates embroidery data in order to form an embroidery stitch within the contour line; a judging device that judges on the basis of the embroidery data whether adjacent needle drop points separated from each other by more than a specified distance on the contour line exist among needle drop points on the contour line; and a stitch data-adding device that adds to the embroidery data, stitch data of a specific stitch to be formed so that a needle drop point may be disposed nearby on the contour line between the adjacent needle drop points when the judging device judges that adjacent needle drop points separated from each other by more than a specified distance do exist on the contour line.
