Abstract
A sewing machine according to the invention has a display for displaying sewing data as an image corresponding to the sewing positions on a material. A material mover is controlled to move the material relative to a head without causing a needle to vertically move, and thereby the stitch position defined by the head is moved to an arbitrary point indicated on the image on the display. As a result, the material can be moved quite quickly compared with a case where the material is moved stitch by stitch. In addition, since the position to which the stitch position is moved can be confirmed on the screen, designation of that point is performed quite easily.
