Abstract
Abstract A system for an embroidering machine has plural embroidering machines, display means, input means which has a keyboard and a means for inputting coordinates on a screen of the display, register memory means for storing plural embroidering patterns, image data and embroidering data and main control means. The main control means divides a screen of the display means into multiple screens in accordance with a number input by the input means, reads image data corresponding to the embroidering patterns selected by the input means from the register memory means, displays the image data on the multiple divided screens of the display means, and sends embroidering data corresponding to the selected embroidering patterns to the memory means of the embroidering machine. The main control means divides the screen of the display into smaller screens display multiple embroidering images on the screens. Thus an operator can see all embroidering patterns on the screen of the display before embroidering.
