Abstract
A sewing machine acquires embroidery data of the embroidery pattern formed from a plurality of partial patterns. The sewing machine selects, as a selected partial pattern, at least one partial pattern from among the plurality of partial patterns forming the embroidery pattern, on the basis of the acquired embroidery data. The sewing machine identifies, on the basis of the embroidery data, an outline of the selected partial pattern that was selected. The sewing machine generates processing data for performing processing following the shape of the selected partial pattern, on the basis of the identified outline.
Claims14
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing computer readable instructions that are executed by a processor, the computer readable instructions causing the processor to perform processes comprising:
- an acquisition process to acquire embroidery data of an embroidery pattern formed from a plurality of partial patterns, the embroidery data prescribing a sewing order for each of the plurality of partial patterns;
- a selection process to select, as a selected partial pattern, at least one partial pattern from among the plurality of partial patterns forming the embroidery pattern, on a basis of the embroidery data acquired by the acquisition process;
- an identification process to identify, on a basis of the embroidery data, an outline of the selected partial pattern selected by the selection process;
- a first generation process to generate processing data for performing processing following a shape of the selected partial pattern, on a basis of the outline identified by the identification process;
- a second generation process to generate, on the basis of the outline, first sewing data for sewing on a piece having the shape of the selected partial pattern;
- and
- a first setting process to set the sewing order such that sewing based on the first sewing data is performed before at least one first other partial pattern other than the selected partial pattern, from among the plurality of partial patterns, is sewn.
A sewing machine sewing an embroidery pattern onto an object to be sewn, the sewing machine comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory configured to store computer readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, instruct the processor to perform processes including acquiring embroidery data of the embroidery pattern formed from a plurality of partial patterns, the embroidery data prescribing a sewing order for each of the plurality of partial patterns;
- selecting, as a selected partial pattern, at least one partial pattern from among the plurality of partial patterns forming the embroidery pattern, on a basis of the acquired embroidery data;
- identifying, on a basis of the embroidery data, an outline of the selected partial pattern that was selected;
- generating processing data for performing processing following a shape of the selected partial pattern, on a basis of the identified outline;
- generating, on the basis of the outline, first sewing data for sewing on a piece having the shape of the selected partial pattern;
- and
- setting the sewing order such that sewing based on the first sewing data is performed before at least one first other partial pattern other than the selected partial pattern, from among the plurality of partial patterns, is sewn.
