Abstract
An embroidery data producing device produces embroidery data based on original pattern made up of continuous line components. The embroidery data is supplied to a household sewing machine for embroidering on cloth. A scanner reads an original image and producing pattern image data. Based on the pattern image data, fine-line data is produced, through either sequential fine-line processes or distance conversion processes, for each of the continuous line components. In the processes of extracting fine-line data, data on thickness of each continuous line component is stored in a RAM. An embroidery data is produced based on the data stored in the RAM and the fine-line data, and the embroidery data contains data on stitch width of zig-zag stitch used for the embroidery.
