Your machine is a BROTHER PE 180. The designs on the display screen are exactly as mine..the design format is .pes, you can buy the (expensive)design cards from eBay or dealers. But I would recommend the PED Basic software for blank card/cardwriter, which can be bought for under $100. There are other cards for .pes, but most will not be compatible w/computers that have Win10. Your machine will need Brother 4x4 hoop or repositionable 5x7. I cannot tell from pix if the machine's slot will also accept a 3x5 floppy, but if so, you can just transfer designs from computer to floppy. ( you can prob find a drive at eBay, also). My PE180 does not have auto thread cutter, tho my PE200 does. There are free software programs for reformatting, editing, etc. Embroidery is addictive. Hope this info helps.
