Hi I have the same machine and it uses the same files. I have never used the machine yet and wondered how to download patterns from the intrnet. Where did you get the PED Basic? I have a lot of patterns that are already downloaded to the machine but have just been nervous about trying it and also just finished one of the quilts I needed to I have a few other things to do but would love to join in with you ladies for the embroidery and learn it. It looks so easy on TV craft shows. I am also way behind on e-mails because of so much company this yr so do you ladies have a place where you meet online please let me know or a time. Sue. (Gingging
