Recently purchased Bernina 180 from a Bernina dealer in Hinkletown, PA. Love the machine. My problem is getting the embroidery designs from my laptop to the computer. The sewing machine requires a serial cable to be attached and my laptop only has USB ports, no serial ports. I am off to Best Buy to see if they have a solution to my problem.

There is an adapter that will fit into your cooputer so that you can hook up the cable. I used one when I had my Bernina 165 and it worked great.

That is encouraging. I was a little bummed out when I received the sewing machine and saw the cable. Thanks.

You might also check Radio Shack if you have one near you.

Good Luck, you will have hours of enjoyment after this little glitch.

My DH found mine at Radio Shack and it works. :P
