Thank you for all of the responses. I did buy this machine and am very happy with it. I did find that the software is older and, in fact, will only work with lower Windows versions. I think I can find other software to generate the exp files. I guess I need to start looking into which is best for that too.
Not to go too much off topic but I’m thinking of attacking a T-shirt quilt as my first big project with lots of little ones as practice before that. I’m looking forward to using this forum for help.
Thank you all !!
