Abstract

An embroidery module (1) is provided that is attached (docked) to the base plate (29) of a sewing machine (27) and supplied with power and control commands from the machine electronics. A free space (33), which permits the insertion of tubular work pieces around the free arm (31), is created between the embroidery module (1) and a front end of the free arm (31). The embroidery module (1), with or without an embroidery hoop support (13), can remain docked for all sewing, embroidery, and quilting work on the sewing machine (27).
