You might have a good reason for needing this software that I don’t know about.

For example, if you don’t have a laptop or it’s inconvenient to move your computer next to the embroidery machine, you can transfer designs on a memory card. If you want to create or digitize your own design, you will need to buy more advanced software that might include a card writer.Įven if your embroidery machine has a USB port that attaches to your computer for downloading, you might still want to write embroidery designs on a memory card.

If your embroidery machine has a USB port that attaches to your computer, such as the SE400, HE240, LB6800 PRW, you can download embroidery patterns from your computer and save them in the machine’s memory.

If your embroidery machine has a USB port that is compatible with a USB stick or thumb drive such as the PE770, you can just store designs on a thumb drive and don’t need to write memory cards.

When You Probably Don’t Need This Software

Or you want to organize your designs on memory cards.

Your Brother embroidery machine such as the SE350, LB6770 PRW, or PE700 doesn’t have a USB port.

You can use the Brother PED-Basic Software when you want to embroider designs that aren’t built-in to your embroidery machine, and With the Brother PED-Basic® Software and card reader/writer you can download embroidery designs from the Internet and write them from your PC onto original Brother cards.
