Electronic sewing machine

An electronic sewing machine substantially comprising;

• a first memory storing stitch control data for different stitch patterns including a pattern of straight stitches, pattern selecting means including a number of pattern selecting switches selectively operated to produce a pattern signal designating the corresponding one of the patterns stored in the first memory, pattern memory control means operated to determine a combination of different patterns including the straight stitches, a second memory operated in response to the operation of the pattern selecting switches and of the pattern memory control means to memorize the combination of different patterns in a predetermined sequence, a third memory storing group signals for dividing the different patterns into a predetermined number of groups and produce a group signal at the time of production of a pattern which belongs to a group, register means receiving the group signals of the third memory to register one of the group signals in accordance with the sequence of the patterns to be produced in combination, thereby to determine the stitch co-ordinates of the straight stitches, and calculating means operated in response to the stitch control signal of the first memory and the output signal of the register means to convert the stitch control signal of the straight stitches into the stitch co-ordinates determined by the group signal of the register means.
