Michelle, do you know? Am I correct in my thinking that to use other Disney embroidery cards I need a Disney-branded Brother machine?
TIA!
Not Michelle but I can answer this .... it's not a bad deal, it sews okay, but there are better machines out there. HTH
I also have a card reader. I am learning more about my machine. I was thinking I had done a bigger design than 4x4 but I could very well be mistaken. I am sure there are better machines out there but what caught my eye was the disney items and I could not afford a better one. Or maybe it was I did not want to afford one. I do a lot of sewing when I am in the mood but this machine is great for what I need it for.

I hate to revive an old thread, but I have a question about this machine...
I know that you can purchase the cards from Brother with the Disney related stuff on them. But does anyone know if you can use an image that you have on your computer (like a piece of clip art or something) and somehow get that onto the machine to embroider?
Thanks in advance!
No, you don't need the PED basic, I'm not even sure what that is. This is a card reader/writer that you can use with multiple machines. it has four slots, you just put the card in the one that matches your machine brand. .
Robin, thanks for the help. I did look at the slot and from the literature, it appears that the card is smaller than the slot, but I'm thinking it's got to be a Compact Flash card. I sent an email to Brother, we'll see if they respond.
UPDATE: I just tried a compact flash card and it's a little too thick.
I'm also wondering if a card with existing embroidery on it (meaning, not purchased blank) can be erased and re-used.
BTW - This is mostly about paying a premium price for stuff that's generally readily available and inexpensive for computer or camera use. If everything is proprietary to the machine, that's one thing. If it's just them (the machine manufacturers) giving the illusion of it being proprietary, that's just wrong.
