Abstract
A workpiece holder is usable with an embroidery sewing machine including a needle bar movable upward and downward and a transfer mechanism transferring the workpiece in two directions. The workpiece holder holds the workpiece when the workpiece is engraved by striking the workpiece by a striking needle attached to the needle bar while the workpiece is transferred by the transfer mechanism. The workpiece holder includes a pair of connecting portions detachably attached to the transfer mechanism, a placement member on which the workpiece is placed and a holding mechanism which is located on the placement member to hold a part of the workpiece other than a worked surface of the workpiece which is engraved, so that the part is fixed.
