Abstract
In a sewing machine, embroidery patterns are displayed on a display on the basis of embroidery pattern data representing embroidery patterns, and an embroidery pattern is selected from among those displayed on the display. A needle and a workpiece are moved relative to each other according to an operation for setting a position for the selected embroidery pattern when only the selected embroidery pattern is positioned. When a plurality of embroidery patterns are selected, the relative movement of the needle and the workpiece is withheld during an operation for setting positions for the plurality of selected embroidery patterns. Thus, the needle and the workpiece held by an embroidery frame are not moved during operation for arranging the plurality of selected embroidery patterns.
