Wow, you found a treasure! I love my Brother 270D but my dream would be to have an upgrade. This one only takes the cards & a device to transfer patterns off net on to blank cartridge is expesive. I just love the thread cutter on this one,which I really miss on my trusty New Home Memory Craft 4000! I really don't want Disney designs any more since my GKs are older. So, do I sell my 270D or buy the device? A larger hoop would be wonderful too...
