Sewing machine, non-transitory computer-readable medium and sewing machine system

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by a processor of a sewing machine comprising an embroidery frame moving portion configured to be removably mounted with an embroidery frame and to move the embroidery frame in a movement direction and a sewing portion configured to form a stitch in a sewing workpiece clamped in the embroidery frame, cause the processor to perform the steps of:

• acquiring image data that are created by a device that is different from the sewing machine, the image data being image data that are obtained by capturing an image of a range that includes at least one reference mark and at least one indicator mark, the at least one reference mark being provided on the embroidery frame, and the at least one indicator mark being positioned in an area inside the embroidery frame, on the sewing workpiece that is clamped in the embroidery frame;
• computing positioning data based on the image data, the positioning data being data that indicate at least one of a position and an angle of the at least one indicator mark in relation to the at least one reference mark;
• specifying an embroidery pattern to be formed in the sewing workpiece that is clamped in the embroidery frame;
• setting at least one of a position and an angle of the embroidery pattern on the sewing workpiece, based on the positioning data;
• acquiring embroidery data, the embroidery data being data for forming stitches that make up the embroidery pattern, at the at least one of the position and the angle of the embroidery pattern on the sewing workpiece;
• and
• causing the embroidery frame moving portion and the sewing portion to form the stitches that make up the embroidery pattern in the sewing workpiece, based on the embroidery data.

A sewing machine system, comprising:

• a sewing machine;
• an embroidery frame;
• and
• a device,
• wherein
• the sewing machine includes:
• an embroidery frame moving portion that is configured to removably mounted with the embroidery frame and to move the embroidery frame in a movement direction;
• a sewing portion that is configured to form a stitch in a sewing workpiece that is clamped in the embroidery frame, the sewing portion including a needle bar;
• a first processor;
• and
• a first memory that is configured to store computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the first processor, cause the first processor to perform the steps of:
• acquiring image data that are created by the device, the image data being image data that are obtained by capturing an image of a range that includes at least one reference mark and at least one indicator mark, the at least one reference mark being provided on the embroidery frame, and the at least one indicator mark being positioned in an area inside the embroidery frame, on the sewing workpiece that is clamped in the embroidery frame;
• computing positioning data based on the image data, the positioning data being data that indicate at least one of a position and an angle of the at least one indicator mark in relation to the at least one reference mark;
• specifying an embroidery pattern to be formed in the sewing workpiece that is clamped in the embroidery frame;
• setting at least one of a position and an angle of the embroidery pattern on the sewing workpiece, based on the positioning data;
• acquiring embroidery data, the embroidery data being data for forming stitches that make up the embroidery pattern, at the at least one of the position and the angle of the embroidery pattern on the sewing workpiece;
• and
• causing the embroidery frame moving portion and the sewing portion to form the stitches that make up the embroidery pattern in the sewing workpiece, based on the embroidery data,
• the embroidery frame includes:
• a mounting portion that is configured to be mounted on and removed from the embroidery frame moving portion;
• and
• a clamping portion that includes a first frame and a second frame, the first frame and the second frame being configured to clamp a sewing workpiece, the clamping portion having the at least one reference mark that is disposed at a visible position on a side of the clamping portion that is opposite the needle bar in a state in which the sewing workpiece is clamped, and
• the device includes:
• an image capture portion that is configured to create image data;
• a second processor;
• and
• a second memory that is configured to store computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the second processor, cause the second processor to perform the steps of:
• causing the image capture portion to create the image data by causing the image capture portion to capture the image of the range that includes the at least one reference mark and the at least one indicator mark;
• and
• outputting the image data to the sewing machine.
