The display apparatus includes a camera, a display, and a controller. The set of program instructions, when executed by the controller, causes the display apparatus to perform: acquiring a shot image representing a real space, the shot image being an image shot by the camera; acquiring target information indicating a thread spool of a detection target; detecting a thread spool position on the shot image for the thread spool of the detection target, based on the shot image and the target information; generating a display image based on the shot image, the display image indicating the thread spool position; and displaying the display image on the display.

Abstract: A knit sock includes a foot portion having an upper instep area and a lower sole area integrally knit of a body yarn in circumferential courses and axial wales. The lower sole area defines inner and outer arch regions. The inner arch region incorporates a targeted compression zone adapted to reside generally adjacent an inner arch of a wearer's foot. The compression zone includes axially extending compression ridges of variable length spaced apart from a top of the compression zone to a bottom of the compression zone. When the sock is worn, a compression force applied by the foot portion within the targeted compression zone is greater than the compression force in directly adjacent areas of said foot portion.

Abstract: In a pressing device, a first member is movable in an up-down direction along with a presser bar of a sewing machine in a mounted state in which the pressing device is mounted on the presser bar. A second member supports a presser foot. The presser bar applies, through the second member, a presser force to the presser foot downward in the mounted state. A third member is disposed between the first and second members in the up-down direction in the mounted state. A gap-adjusting member adjusts a gap between the first and third members by contacting at least one of the first and third members. An urging member urges the second and third members away from each other with an urging force smaller than the pressing force of the presser bar. A guide part guides movement of the second and third members relative to the first member.

Abstract: In the case of an embroidery image containing a plurality of individual parts, where at least two individual parts are to be stitched in the same color, an initial sequence is first generated by software of the individual parts to bear the same color. This is done by the user who clicks on the individual parts to bear the same color and the creation of a list corresponding to the selected individual parts. Then, the user is able to rearrange that sequence by drawing new arrows on the embroidery image based on the proximity of the individual parts to each other in order to make stitching less visible on the embroidered product and to reduce the trim time in the embroidery process.
