do you have the CD to download the driver? You may not need it I don't remember once you have that done plug the Ped Basic into your USB port and put the card in it. Go to the file folder where you have downloaded your designs and it will come up on the screen. Then choose the designs you want to put on the card. Click on the design and then the blue arrow in the middle of the screen. It will move the design to the left side. When you have what you want. Click on the red arrow at the bottom left and it will put the designs onto the card. You are then ready to put it into your machine. Questions? let me know I have the book.
