An embroidery pattern data processor for sewing an embroidery based on section data representing the locations of the vertexes of polygonal sections dividing a closed area surrounded by a given outline for embroidering the closed area. The data processor has a memory for storing the section data, a read-out device for reading out the section data, and a processor for determining the type of sections, computing running stitch data, and computing needle location data for embroidering the sections. Additionally, the processor automatically computes a running stitch route within the sections so that the embroidering operation is carried out without producing cross threads which, in the past, had to be manually removed.

An embroidery pattern data processor for sewing an embroidery based on section data representing the locations of the vertexes of polygonal sections dividing a closed area surrounded by a given outline for embroidering the closed area comprises a memory for storing the section data, a designation means for designating starting and ending points read-out means for reading out the section data, a processor for determining the type of sections, for computing running stitch data, and for computing needle location data for embroidering the sections. The running stitch computing means automatically computes a running stitch route within the sections so that the embroidering operation is carried out without producing cross threads which have previously been manually removed.
