Abstract
An embroidery data producing apparatus reads outline data of embroidery regions stored in a RAM, and detects a containing-contained relationship between the embroidery regions based on the outline data of the embroidery regions. The embroidery data producing apparatus then determines the shape of the contained-embroidery regions, and automatically determines, based on the determined shapes, whether portions of the embroidery-containing regions containing the contained-embroidery regions should be scooped out or embroidered by overlapping sewing. Accordingly, even when embroidery regions are in a containing-contained relationship, the embroidery data producing apparatus can determine, without depending on the operator, whether the portions of the embroidery-containing regions corresponding to the contained-embroidery regions should be removed from the embroidery-containing region.
