Presented are a method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium for stitching. The method includes examining, by an examiner, an embroidery design, wherein the examiner is operably coupled to a controller and a sewing head, and wherein the controller comprises a memory having a capacity, and wherein the controller is operable to cause the sewing head to stitch a work piece. The method further includes determining, by the examiner, a needle drop location of each stitch of the embroidery design, and dividing, by the examiner, the examined embroidery design into a plurality of separate sections. The method still further includes transmitting the plurality of separate sections at a plurality of different times to the controller such that the controller the plurality of separate sections do not exceed the capacity of the memory at any one of the plurality of different times.

A method of generating an image that shows an embroidery area in an embroidery frame for computerized embroidery includes: acquiring a first image of a calibration board that has multiple feature points forming a contour approximating an embroidery area defined by the embroidery frame; identifying the feature points of the calibration board in the first image to acquire multiple graphical feature points; acquiring a geometric curved surface that fits the graphical feature points and that includes multiple curved surface points; acquiring a second image in which the embroidery area of the embroidery frame is shown; and performing image correction on the second image based on the geometric curved surface to generate a corrected image.

A method for embroidering endless strips using an embroidery machine includes the following steps: Feeding a strip section of at least one upper strip to an embroidery area of an embroidery frame; introducing embroidery using at least one embroidery head onto the strip section of the upper strip within the embroidery area of the embroidery frame; feeding at least one lower strip to the embroidery area of the embroidery frame, which is placed below the upper strip; producing at least one connecting seam between the upper strip and the lower strip in a plane of the embroidery frame; and removing the finished strip comprising the embroidered strip and the lower strip sewn thereto.

A thread color comparison unit compares and judges whether or not a comparison target is the same as a comparison reference with a given thread color of a given design stored in a thread color storage unit as the comparison target and with a given thread color of another given design that differs from the given design as the comparison reference. A thread color grouping unit performs grouping for the comparison target and the comparison reference included in different designs when the comparison target and the comparison reference are the same color. When the thread color comparison unit has judged that the comparison target is the same as the comparison reference, the thread color storage unit stores information such that the comparison target is to be sewn together with the comparison reference that has been judged to be the same, and the sewing data for the comparison target is removed.
