brother PE 700II do i need: with the brother PE 700II do I need to purchase the Brother PED-Basic Software for Downloading Embroidery Design in order to transfer designs from my computer to the machine?

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!

You can also purchase Brother's BES Embroidery lettering software 2. With this software you can make customized lettering, even write poems in as small as 4mm font.

I have a brother, the program files say they do janome in format SEW and JEF, I do not know what format your machine does. This program works for BLF, PES, EMD, SEW, JEF, EXP, PCM, PCS, VIP, XXX, CSD, DST, SHV, and HMS

I have tried to do this with the program. Let me be very clear this program only operates within another program already installed on your computer. I have found the Paint program to work the best. However you can find clip art from the internet and save it to your computer only if it is a PES file then open it in paint( which is what I do) . If there is a lot of detail the program will just kind of jumble it up when you try to embroider it , so if you try that I suggest very simple art without a lot of detail. Hope this helps you.

I have the pe 770 brother. The thread is good for big letters but appliqus and small letters it breaks and tears easy! Yes I use it but that's due to I already have it and it's cheap. I recommend coats thread from Walmart

There is no "magic" software on the market that can auto digitize jpeg files into a quality embroidery file. Some do an OK job with very simple designs (think peace sign) and PE Design can compete. However if you are looking for a quality embroidery design on more complex artwork you will have to "hand digitize" it with the tools provided in the software. This software can compete with the most expensive commercial software in auto digitizing and hand digitizing.

You must select the letter you're going to embroider and you can increase or decrease the size of your choice on the computer before transferring to the embroidery machine. Regards Isabel B.

You would not be able to open a pes design on your computer unless you have a softeare. This one is great to work with and is very easy to use. You can even merge your fonts with this program. Good luck!

I purchased this when I bought my PE770. It worked well to get me started, but I quickly new it was only just enough to get me started. the quality was good though and worked well with my machine.

You have a couple of options. If you have editing software, you can design a file with the full word and import it. If it's a fairly small word, you can use the preinstalled text editor (NOT the monogram) and type words. It's not an awesome machine for things like embroidering names on jerseys, because it's hard to get the alignment right, but it can be done. There are accessories you can buy that give you a larger field, but your embroidery field stays the same--you can just continue the word without having to re frame your fabric. Hope this helps!

Hoop ID 5" x 6" comes with LB6770. Go to Brother accessories site to see if it will take larger ones. Haven't done much embroidery but it's always perfect.

Jose, I have both the Brother SE400 and the PE770. Neither one will embroider outside their fields. That is, the 400 will only embroider a 4 x 4 area and the 770 up to 5 x 7. You can buy adjustable hoops that you can adjust to use more than one pattern, but it will not increase the sizes. It is only helpful if you are sewing more than one pattern and you won't have to re-hoop. Hope that helps. Sandi

The machine does not operate hooked up to a computer. You load any new embroidery patterns (any that did not come with the machine) from a USB memory stick so your operating system is irrelevant. You would download embroidery patterns onto a memory stick and then plug the memory stick into the embroidery machine. The only time your operating system would be relevant was if you purchased software to make your own embroidery patterns. Hope this helps.

If your machine takes a card reader blank, then I think it would. It works in my Babylock Ellure and Palette card reading unit perfectly. You definitely need a card reader to connect to your computer to transfer your emboridery machine. But consider going to brother's website and ask there on their message board.

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.

You have to use the USB cord to transfer the design from your computer to your Brother PE500 Embroidery machine. Once the design is saved to the machine, you can unplug the USB cord. When you start stitching, you don't need the USB cord plugged in...the design will be in the machine memory. You can have up to 12 designs saved to the machine. If you wish to delete a design and download different ones, then you will have to plug the USB cord in again and download the new designs to the machine.
