I just bought the 9700 and did get a Kodak 50n1 for the usb port. I also got what I think is generic flash card because I plugged the reader/writer into the usb port with the card and it did show on the computer and it did show 2 folders. What I want to know is do I purchase more flash cards and do they fit the card that fits into the sewing machine slot. I just don't understand getting the designs to the computer then to a flash card. Then to the machine. Sorry if I am not clear cause I am a little confused.
