I'm think about getting a Magic Box for my Bernina Artista 185 rather than upgrading from ART verzion 3. If I upgrade to a newer version of ART I'd probably have to get a new computer, as the old one in the sewing room dates from 2001. It's been upgraded to Windows XP and has a second hard drive, but it's limited by its processor. One of these days it's going to die, so far it's still working. If I replace it first, I will most likely have to replace the Bernina software due to the change in operating systems and the software certainly isn't cheap. A regular Catch-22.
Has anyone any experience with the Magic Box? How does it do downloading designs from the internet (especially free designs of which I have plenty) and stitching them out? Any problems with it? Thanks
