However, my machine has recently started giving me fits so I purchased a very nice, but older embroidery machine for a back up. Wanting the newer designs for it I purchased an USB External Floppy Disk Drive and it works perfectly for downloading designs from the CD embroidery designs that you buy and also for downloading designs from online. I love this!!I have a brother ULT2003D that has a memory card slot and a Floppy Disk slot. Take care of the durned card, as they cost almost as much as the complete setup together. This is just meant for transferring designs a few at a time, not for storing hundreds of them. Two average embroidery designs use up about 20% of the card capacity, according to the indicator bar on the software screen. The card they give you has plenty adequate capacity, but must be pretty small compared to the average SD card nowadays. With the good previews and decent navigation, this setup is actually better, in that way. So although our newer embroidery machine allows you to transfer the designs by standard USB stick it can still be a pain to do. We've had some viewers before, but they were separate from any other software we use so I never really learned to use them. It can be pretty hard to find the one you want when they just have numbers for names there is no immediate way to see what the design looks like or what its dimensions will be. And you can select either inch or metric units for the program.Īn embroidery file by itself just looks like any old file if you look at it without this viewer feature. Also the actual dimensions are shown at the bottom of the screen, and they change to reflect any size percentage you might change to. Then you can select one design and see a more detailed preview, or get a thread color chart for it. it acts as a viewer to let you see good-sized icons of the embroidery designs in any folder you select on your hard drive or connected USB. I'm hoping my non-technical wife can learn to do this stuff by herself, so for us simplicity is a virtue. It looks like the only edit feature you have is an ability to change the size between 90% to 120% of original. The software is simple but not as crude as I had expected from other reviews. So I looked in "Computer" and saw the CD there, clicked on it and went from there OK. After a while the autorun or whatever also failed. So I went ahead and put the CD in anyway. After plugging the device in I waited quite a while and finally the computer just said it could not find a driver. Well the installation on Windows 7 was pretty clunky nothing went as the instructions said they would. For us I think it will be worthwhile, as my wife sells some of her work. This gadget is overpriced to be sure, but they know they got you cornered. Vincent's, as a backup/helper to her newer PE-770 type machine. I bought this so my wife could use an older PE-150 machine we picked up very cheaply at St.
