Welcome to the QB! from SE Michigan. My embroidery machine is a brothers and it too has software that is pc compatible. I have had to up date it a couple times with Brothers. Now I use a pc. Check with Bernina, they are going to be your biggest help when it comes to their software. I am so glad you decided to join us here and glad you jumped right in. I am looking forward to seeing you here often. Again welcome to the QB!
