Abstract

An electro-optical display serves for the display of basic types of stitch patterns or individual stitch patterns, e.g. zig-zag sewing, buttonholing, alphanumeric characters and the like. A cursor 13 can be moved to the displayed stitch pattern groups by means of a control device, and a menu comprising different stitch patterns of the selected stitch pattern group can then be selected and displayed by pressing an OK button. The particular desired stitch pattern group or the stitch pattern can then be selected from this menu or another menu which is displayed when an advance command is given. This hierarchical, stepwise display and selection of a determined stitch pattern group or an individual stitch pattern substantially simplifies and accelerates the selection from a great number of available stitch types or patterns.
