Abstract

A device for the quick and uncomplicated design of any sewing pattern or embroidering pattern permits creation of a raw draft of the pattern (11) on a graphic display (8). The raw draft is stored and the stored shape is used as a basis for elaboration and adaptation to the realization by the sewing machine. The elaboration and transformation into stitch sequences is also performed on an appropriate display (10), with the raw draft being displayed in the manner of a background. The transformation into individual stitches necessary during the editing process is largely automated by different auxiliary functions without excluding manual corrections.
