Abstract
An embroidery frame includes a pair of a first frame and a second frame configured to clamp a sewing object and a lock mechanism. The lock mechanism includes a support member configured to rotatably support the second frame such that a posture of the second frame with respect to the first frame to clamp the sewing object is switchable to a first posture and a second posture. The first posture is a posture in which a first surface of the second frame faces the first frame. The second posture is a posture in which a second surface of the second frame faces the first frame. The second surface is on the opposite side to the first surface. The lock mechanism is configured to press the second frame in at least the first posture toward a first frame side with respect to the second frame.
