Patent ID: 7702415

Claim:
A method for placing an embroidery in the desired position on a sewing material for embroidering on a sewing machine which has a memory for embroidery elements and a processor for reading stitch data for a selected embroidery element and for manoeuvring the sewing machine to execute stitches associated with the selected embroidery element on the sewing material, in which the sewing machine comprises: a needle which is set into a reciprocating movement primarily along a perpendicular to the sewing material, an embroidery frame on which the sewing material is stretched, and the processor which controls movements of the embroidery frame lengthwise and widthwise in relation to the needle position and synchronously with the movement of the needle in order to execute the embroidery according to the embroidery element selected, the method comprising: assigning a first pattern point D 1 to the embroidery element and registering the first pattern point in the processor; assigning a second pattern point D 2 to the embroidery element and registering the second pattern point in the processor; marking a first fabric point C 1 on the sewing material; marking a second fabric point C 2 on the sewing material; moving the embroidery frame to a position in which the needle position coincides with the first fabric point C 1 , the movement being registered by the processor so that the processor in executing the embroidery uses the position for the first fabric point C 1 on the sewing material as the position for the first pattern point D 1 in the embroidery element; and moving the embroidery frame to a position in which the needle position coincides with the second fabric point C 2 , the movement being registered by the processor so that the processor in executing the embroidery rotates the embroidery element so that a line, which on the embroidery element runs through the first pattern point D 1 and the second pattern point D 2 , coincides with a line that runs through the first fabric point C 1 and the second fabric point C 2 on the sewing material.
