EMBROIDERY MACHINE

PURPOSE:To unnecessitate the correction of boring data in the embroidery machine having a boring function. CONSTITUTION:The embroidery machine is made up so that a boring knife 46 can be replaced with an embroidering needle 15 for a needling bar 16, whereby the cutting work of the boring knife 46 can be performed at the same position as the needling-falling position of the embroidering needle 15. Even when the boring data showing the cutting position are used as such to perform the cutting work, the cutting position of the processed cloth is fit to the embroidering position of the embroidering needle 15, thereby permitting to control the embroidery machine without correcting the boring data.
