Abstract
Based on pattern display data stored in a card ROM, a predetermined number of embroidery pattern examples are displayed in a display unit of a sewing machine. Upon selection of a desired embroidery pattern, computation of a stitching period of time for the selected embroidery pattern is automatically commenced. During the computation of the stitching period of time, a stitching routine is executed through an interval interrupt process. Upon completion of computation of the stitching period of time, the computed stitching period of time is numerically displayed in a position corresponding to the selected embroidery pattern. Because the computation of the stitching period of time and stitching of the selected embroidery pattern are simultaneously performed, the stitching procedure can be efficiently prosecuted.
