Abstract

The invention pertains to an embroidery machine with a plurality of embroidery stations provided with corresponding embroidery tools which are attached to shafts that oscillate during the operation of the machine and extend along the embroidery machine. The shafts are actuated via corresponding drives. To reduce the torsion as well as the torsional oscillation of long shafts which leads to a distortion of the movement of the embroidery tools and to a chronological phase displacement between the front and the rear portion of the machine, the drives for the needles and for the other embroidery tools are arranged approximately in the center of the embroidery machine.
