Abstract
An embroidery sewing machine includes a storage device storing coordinate data of an embroidery pattern; an X-Y moving mechanism that moves an embroidery frame in X- and Y-directions based on the coordinate data; a display device that displays the embroidery pattern; a transparent touchscreen; a touch point detector that detects a position of touch on the touchscreen; a coordinate data extracting unit that extracts coordinate data within a certain distance from the detected position of touch; a coordinate data selecting unit that selects a coordinate data candidate from the extracted coordinate data; a candidate list display unit that displays a list of a needle position candidate based on the selected coordinate data; and a coordinate data supplying unit that supplies, when any needle position is specified, the X-Y moving mechanism with coordinate data of the specified needle position and moves the embroidery frame to the needle position.
