| Hi Everyone –
I’m hopping over from the quilting forum. I’ve been reading all your post trying to learn as much as I can. I’m about to purchase my first embroidery machine, I’m looking at one that has a USB port on it, Brother PE750D. I’ve also been researching Embird. After everything I’ve read, I’m pretty sure I’ll choose it. I’ve emailed Embird today, but I thought I’d ask here too. I see from all of their tutorials that I can save a design onto a USB stick. After I save it onto the stick, with the correct format, etc. (PES) is that stick ready to be read by the machine? Or is the option to save a design to a stick just to save the design? The tutorial wasn’t 100% clear. I don’t want to get an Ultimate Box and card if I don’t need to. That’s why I’m looking at a machine with a USB port. Am I on the right track???? Thanks in advance!

| Well, I did hear back from Embird and I guess the answer to my question is "yes" in regards to a USB stick. I did however also learn that the machine I will be buying does have a "USB Port" but not the kind that uses a USB stick. The port connects the machine to my PC. I feel like I’m studying for a Masters Degree trying to figure out all the embroidery machines and digitizing options that are available. I should have my machine in a couple of weeks. I’ll play with it when it comes and decide then if I need the Ultimate Box or if I can some how transfer Embird designs straight to my machine via the USB wire. Do you know if that’s possible???

| I know what you mean about studying for your master's. I did all sorts of research and bought a janome last week. I do know that the card-readers are the old technology and you want to find one that uses USB. Some machines are direct contact- you have to run a cord to your lap top- I have a PC and no lap top so that was not feasible for me. I also downloaded the trial of Embird and am pretty sure I will buy it as it does what I want it to do-- check out other sites and other programs.. they are not always what they say they are. I find Embird hard to get into.. but I did find free video classes at www.clipartopolis.com and they are great. Helped me a lot. Good luck |
