you cant edit or scale the embroideries without the additional part.
is the machine new? does it have any cards? can you get more cards? does it accept free downloads off the web?
the 5700 is still being made. if you have any questions, call a dealer and tell him that you would need a service man if you buy it, but want to know if parts will be a problem.
