Can this machine do applique? Layered applique? And does it only accept a flash drive, or can I simply use my laptop with a usb cable?

I think the flash card is for saving and loading designs into the machine.. so yes you can also just use your pc for general designs as well without having to use the flash card.. and it does applique but I haven't done that style..

im not familiar with Ubuntu but im sure you can install just about anything on there as long as its compatible with the processor and windows , and u can use a usb stick on it too. I just know you cant change the backgrounds on it.

I have the answer now. I purchased the machine. There is a USB port and cable, to connect from computer to embroidery machine. No special software is needed; just be sure to download images in PES format. Easy and fun!

Ok, thanks for all these infos, but I know nothing much about computers except to use them, so I bought a msi u120 because I need to use it for personal office work and web browsing as well as msn chat. I'd also like to install a genealogy program on it. Can anyone tell me if its power will be enough for that. Don't laugh, but I'm pretty lost and I didn't even receive the beast yet. probably sometimes next week. so any advice before I start it and its capacities will be welcome. Don't laugh again, it's the first time in years that I buy myself a computer and my first laptop too.

The best advice would be to review the other comments and to try it out for yourself (in the worst case you could make a return). Also, if you don't want to try it out yourself you can contact IOGEAR and ask them to confirm official support (especially since the basic function of storing written pages and offloading those pages as JPEG images by connecting the receiver as a USB device is essentially "OS-agnostic").

If you can get pics on a flash drive, just plug it in and play. I'm sure I could learn to customize the presentation, but it is easy to take care of the basic program.

it does not require a software.. just plug it like a flash drive and it pops up. however, not all usb cords will work with it

Yes it works just like that. You create it how you want it you dont need any extra software. You can treat it like a flash drive.its a good buy.at great price.

It will run Adobe Photoshop (I have CS6 Master Collection installed). The external resources will be limited by the single USB port and the speed. Your cache settings in PS Preferences will be limited as well with only a 256GB internal drive. You can specify the alternative cache area for your external drive in Photoshop, but once again the speed is limited by the USB interface. If you are a photographer and in the field, this will work until you can get back to your desktop. I found the screen too small to work with the precision required for Photoshop. Lightroom might be the alternative if you are just fixing photos.

I use this program to view and move my designs. I'm lost without it. When you click on a zipped design file this program will expand the file and show the contents. From there, you can select designs to put on a flash drive. Yes, it is easy to print pictures of the designs. The software probably does more, but this is my primary use of it.

I use this computer for many uses, one of which is graphics work with the GIMP (gnu image manipulation program) which is similar to Photoshop (in both capabilities and requirements). This computer can easily run the program, and has enough ram to open/edit good sized documents, but will lag on big files or if you run a processing task of any magnitude. Simpler processing tasks like adjusting brightness and contrast work fine, but lag on big images to the point that it is (slightly) annoying if you use the active preview. I also have a powerful home- built desktop, and it's greater speed is both noticeable and welcome after using the laptop. Short answer: it will work fine, but it is the minimum, more power would be ideal if photo work is your focus. If you only edit photos occasionally, this laptop should perform fine. Disclaimer: I cannot speak on the software aspect of the computer(win8) and how much power it consumes, as I wiped the hard drive immediately after the computer arrived and replaced win8 with Ubuntu 13.04

No, as far as I know you have to use the app to move anything into the drive using it as a stand alone drive. I originally wanted to use it on locations and such but data transfer is slow and the interface is horrendous. I'm sticking to my laptop and cabled drives for the time being.

Hi, I just looked up the Eclips machine and from what I can tell these embossing folders likely won't work with it. It looks like the Eclips is a shape cutting machine, not an embossing machine. I hope that answers your question.Thank you and good luck!

USB. I had issues with it mounting drives. ive tried the supported formats like ext2-ext4. it just would not work. you can solve this with the paragon app.

Yes, you can download to a usb stick from your library folder with design. Just right click design-send to-removable disk. Its also allows you to view designs without having to open any program, without it your computer is not set up to read these files. I can just go to my library, click my embroidery folder and see what I have and don't have. Makes life a little easier in planing a design before hand. Buy it, its worth it.

The version lava-computers sells is windows 7. Non touchscreen. Please check my exact specs under item condition. Cheers!

You should be able to do that with the Sizzix Eclips plus the additional software you have to buy separately (unless you get a package that comes with it). I would suggest that you look into the Sillhouette Cameo though as I think that machine is geared even more toward what you want--it doesn't have the capabilty to use cartridges like the Eclips does, but it doesn't sound like you would use cartridges anyway--they have commercial artwork on them. It might depend on what file type your artwork is in; you'll want to check with the manufacturer to make sure the machine can do what you want it to do.
