Abstract
A detection of a broken embroidering thread is repeated several times, and an erroneous detection is prevented by repeatedly detecting an actual breaking. An embroidering operation is re-started from a position a few stitches apart from the thread breaking position, so that a sightly embroidering continuation may be formed. When a first breaking is detected, reading-out of new embroidering data is stopped, and the repeated detections at several times are made by moving a needle vertically at the same position or a slightly displaced position.
