I don't think you need any software for this model. If there is a USB port, you should be able to download an embroidery file from the internet, copy it to a thumb drive, then plug that into your machine. Read your manual, it should tell you the type of file that your unit will take, many Brother's use PES format, but the manual will tell you exactly. Is there a brother dealer in your area? If so, I would see if they offer a class on your machine.
