Abstract
A computer-aided embroidery method for preparation and testing of a predetermined pattern is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of (a) comparing the size of said pattern with an embroidery table device to determine if an intended embroidery operation will exceed a defined boundary of said embroidery table device; (b) determining an embroidery frame; and (c) providing a completed simulation and a trial embroidering process within said embroidery frame without actually lowering a needlebar for testing the validity of a pattern layout. A machine implementing this method is also disclosed.
