Most said to junk it and get a different machine.. I did but it is just a sewing machine, no enbroidery I bought a Brother and really love it when it's working..I saved my old Viking #1* in hopes I could find someone to fix it.. as I really loved that machine and have lots of embroidery patterns for it... I guess it's a throw away world for sure.
You can put the designs on a usb stick and upload them into your computer, then you can change your format on them to .pes so they'll work on your brother machine. There are many free programs that will do that for you.
