Disclosed is an apparatus and method for controlling feed quantity and direction in a sewing machine, in which feed quantity and direction of a workpiece is controlled by a motor, thereby not only allowing various patterns to be produced by stitches made up of upper and lower threads, but also allowing a speedy sewing operation. The apparatus comprises an operator interface means for inputting the feed quantity and direction of a workpiece according to an operator's plan, a motor driving control means for outputting a motor driving control signal according to feed information on the feed quantity and direction of the workpiece inputted through the operator interface means, and a workpiece feed control means for controlling rotation direction and speed of the motor according to the motor driving control signal from the motor driving control means.

Apparatus and method for controlling feed quantity and direction in sewing machine

Disclosed are an apparatus for controlling a position of an embroidery frame, which is capable of performing an accurate embroidering operation by feed backing a position error due to mutual operations of interlocking devices for driving the embroidery frame using a displacement sensor for sensing a displacement of the embroidery frame, and a method thereof. The apparatus comprises an X-axis driver, a Y-axis driver, a sensor and a controller. The X-axis driver moves the embroidery frame along an X-axis direction. The Y-axis driver moves the embroidery frame along a Y-axis direction. The sensor senses a displacement of the embroidery frame to the X-axis and Y-axis directions, and outputs electric signals corresponding to the sensed displacement. The controller generates X-axis and Y-axis drive control signals based on the electric signal from the sensor in order to control the X-axis and Y-axis drivers, respectively.
