Abstract
In the sewing machine, a sewing device forms an embroidery pattern on a work cloth in cooperation with a moving mechanism. A display switching device switches the display between a first display mode and a second display mode. Therefore, the sewing machine can selectively display the size value representing a size of the embroidery pattern or the position value representing a position of the embroidery pattern on the work cloth using the display as desired. Further the display is necessary to secure a space for displaying both the size value and the position value at once. Accordingly, the sewing machine display can be downsized without sacrificing the convenience of the display.
