The embroidery frame carrier includes a carriage, a carrier mechanism freely moving the carriage in the two directions, an engagement mechanism including an engagement groove formed on either one of the carriage or the connector of the embroidery frame and an engagement mounted on the other so as to engage the engagement groove, the engagement mechanism engaging the connector to the carriage so that the connector is slidable on the carriage, a lock portion of the carriage to lock the connector of the embroidery frame to a predetermined location, a lock mechanism to lock the connector engaged by the engagement mechanism, and a lock member of the lock mechanism to be switched between a pressed position and a released position.
