Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for operator-controlled stitching of letters on materials wherein the letters have common stitch parameters. The operator selects desired stitch parameters, such as letter height, letter width, and stitch density, and stores the parameters in memory. In using the stored stitch parameters, the operator recalls them using a keyboard and also selects letters which are to be stitched using the stored and recalled stitch parameters. The apparatus is able to apply or use the recalled stitch parameters in connection with the selected letters to stitch the letters. In addition, the operator is able to define a number of different stitch patterns having selected and stored letters which can later be recalled for stitching thereof.
