26 as elevated according to a modification shown in fig1 an inner frame member 45a has in its upper surface a slot 49 and a support frame 28 has on its inner peripheral edge a plurality of attachment projections 44 or a single continuous attachment projection 44 supporting thereon a plurality of protuberances 50 or a continuous ridge 50 directed downwardly and forcibly inserted in the slot 49 alternatively the piece of cloth w may be pinned to the embroidery frame 45 in which case the latter may be of an integral structure and separate inner and outer frame members may be dispensed with although not shown the piece of cloth w may be retained in place by being forcibly sandwiched between the interfitting embroidery frame and the support frame such an arrangement requires no attachments to hold the embroidery and support frames together but it is preferable that one of the embroidery and support frames has some means which engage the other so that the embroidery frame will not accidentally be displaced out of the support frame in operation of the embroidering apparatus 25 an original pattern is fixedly placed on the table 27 which is then supported by hand and as the sewing machine 20 operates the table 27 is manually rotated and the body 26 is moved back and forth and laterally for causing the needle 40 to trace the pattern on the table 27 the embroidering apparatus 25 of the present invention can be operated with greater ease than conventional embroidering apparatus in which an embroidery frame needs to be rotated and moved to and fro in various directions the embroidering apparatus constructed can produce an embroidery work having stitches in any different directions.
