Abstract
Embroidery sewing machine having a Y-direction drive mechanism including an elongated arm which is normally accommodated in a cutout portion formed at a bed of the machine body and forms a part of that body. The upper side of the arm is continuous with the upper side of the bed in a same plane. The arm has a frame support to which an embroidery frame is removably attached, the frame holding a work to be embroidered. The arm is arranged as turnable to extend from the rear side of the bed into the depth direction (Y-direction) of the machine, where the arm is operative for embroidery stitching. The arm is connected to an X-direction drive mechanism arranged in the machine body and may be moved in the width direction (X-direction) of the machine body, by the X-direction drive mechanism while the embroidery frame is moved in the Y-direction along the arm.
