Abstract
Disclosed is a device for producing embroidery data on the basis of image data, wherein jump threads extended between unit images are effectively prevented from being stitched into the embroidery stitches by using particular stitch data produced by successively searching the image data from above to set a stitch starting point of each unit image. The stitch data forms the stitches starting from the stitch starting point and terminating at the stitch starting point. Although the jump threads are produced between the stitch starting points, these jump threads will not be stitched into the embroidery stitches.
