Seems the Windows 8.1 and newer computers have drop box and they don't have the drives anymore but I can still transfer the many FREE and paid for designs to my machine. Anyone else have a Brothers PE500?
I have the PE500 and have enjoyed it so much that I just ordered the next model up PE770. I wanted the larger hoop and ability to use a USB drive instead of having to take my laptop over to my machine. Hope it works out that way. Here are a few things I've done with mine:
Birthday Banner;Hair clips and clip holder (for DGD ... I sent her new clips every month); Heart appliques on quilt and pillow shams; Beach towel applique monograms; Tic-tac-toe game for DGD (in the hoop); Organza leaves (for DD for her birthday and then some for me); T-shirts (We were in Germany when they won the World Cup, but we couldn't find t-shirts, so I made some); Hooded baby towel (shower gift) and much more ....
