I went to the sewing shop today to inquire about some Brother embroidery cards and was informed they (Brothers) are fazing them out and going to computer All the new machins will bel computer connected.

I wonder if that means you could buy the cards they have at a discount now

You could write to Brother and ask them directly rather than rely on your local shop who might just not be getting them in any more because they don't sell many :roll: Brother cards are expensive but we still have the usb as well as computer direct connections.
I received 3-4 free cards with my purchase 5 years ago and haven't used any of them :shock:

Shop on ebay, you will find many of the cards for sale.
