ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is an embroidery machine having a table on which a cloth is spread to be fed, and a plurality of heads disposed above the table in parallel relation to each other, each of the heads having a needle for forming embroidery stitches on the cloth, the needle having an axis of rotation which is the origin of the X and Y axes of the Cartesian coordinates with respect to the table, including a frame placed on the table and horizontally movable in the directions of the X and Y axes in response to signals produced by a control unit for feeding the cloth; a feed plate provided horizontally under the cloth and adapted to move horizontally in the direction where the frame is moved and to return independently to its original position; and a cloth-pressing member vertically movably surrounding the needle for cooperating with the feed plate so as to tightly hold the cloth around the needle location therebetween, the cloth-pressing member being adapted to move horizontally in any direction around the needle and to return independently to its original position; the feed plate and the cloth-pressing member, when the frame moves horizontally, synchronously moving in the same direction where the frame moves; the cloth-pressing member moving upwardly to release the cloth around the needle location prior to the subsequent horizontal movement of the frame; and the feed plate and the cloth-pressing member returning to their respective original positions.
