A programmable sewing machine is disclosed in which, by means of input elements associated with a control device, the program parts predetermining the operation are selected, connected together and/or linked, the sewing machine being controlled accordingly, and the seams or seam lengths being predetermined by sewn stitches between two points of a material to be sewn and in which as a function of the performance of the stitches predeterminable outputs associated with the control unit are switched. Stitch elements, defined by sewn stitches, and time elements, defined as the time connections between two points of the operation, are interconnected in a random order preselectable by the operator in accordance with the operation. When performing both stitch elements and time elements, outputs can be switched in controlled by the control device.
A programmable sewing machine comprising a sewing machine (1) driven by a motor (2), with a control device (3) controlling the sewing machine (1) and the motor (2), which control device has a memory means for functioning of the sewing machine (1) and the motor (2), including means for interlinking data representative of stitch elements, comprising sewn stitches, and time elements, said time elements comprising time periods between two points of operation of the sewing machine, in a random sequence, the sequence not being preprogrammed in said memory means, an operator control panel (7) connected to the control device (3) for inputting the parameters of an operating program of the control device and having programmable inputs and outputs (8) associated with the control device.
