I have one, I don't use it because it's too much hassle. You can buy cards all ready to use (expensive) or use a little gadget (Magic Box) to program the desired design on a blank card. I have to use a computer with windows XP with this. The Magic Box company does not support their product anymore. Windows XP is not supported by Microsoft anymore. Preparing the blank cards is time consuming. I do like the results once the project is finished. I bought a newer and bigger embroidery machine. My Ellure is nice to use as a sewing machine. I keep it as a good back-up machine.
