Abstract
A sewing machine includes a cloth thickness detection device, a storage device, and a control device. The cloth thickness detection device detects a cloth thickness of a work cloth. The storage device stores cut data that include a plurality of needle drop points for a cutting needle. The control device modifies a distance between adjacent ones of the needle drop points in the cut data in accordance with the cloth thickness that has been detected by the cloth thickness detection device. Then control device performs cut work on the work cloth using the cutting needle, in accordance with the cut data in which the distance between the adjacent needle drop points has been modified.
Claims9
A sewing machine, comprising:
- a cloth thickness detection device that is configured to detect a cloth thickness of a work cloth;
- a storage device that stores cut data that includes a plurality of needle drop points for a cutting needle;
- and
- a control device that is operatively connected to the cloth thickness detection device and the storage device, and that is configured to modify a distance between adjacent ones of the needle drop points in the cut data in accordance with the cloth thickness that has been detected by the cloth thickness detection device and perform cut work on the work cloth using the cutting needle, in accordance with the cut data in which the distance between the adjacent needle drop points has been modified.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-readable instructions that are executable on a sewing machine that includes a cloth thickness detection device, a storage device, and a control device operatively connected to the cloth thickness detection device and the storage device, the instructions, when executed by the sewing machine, performing processes comprising:
- detecting a cloth thickness of a work cloth, the detecting being performed by the cloth thickness detection device;
- modifying, with the control device, a distance between adjacent ones of a plurality of needle drop points for a cutting needle, which are included in cut data stored in the storage device, in accordance with the detected cloth thickness;
- and
- performing cut work on the work cloth using the cutting needle, in accordance with the cut data in which the distance between the adjacent needle drop points has been modified.
