Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Brother PED-Basic Software for Downloading Embroidery Designs
Customer Review: Don't Buy!!
Summary: 1 Stars
Sorry I bought this item!! "Don't waste your money!" Totally recommend AMAZON & company I purchased from-just not PED-Basic!! I wanted to use different fonts other than on what's on my machine-took me 2 days to figure how to save, unzip, and view files in the PED. Uninstalled and downloaded drivers off of internet and everything! NOW can't use but one font at a time on machine-won't let me use whole name. Keeps deleting font I've adjusted. I've spent $30 on different fonts to get different sizes-kept getting error "embroidery card can not be used with this machine" I so wanted to learn how to embroidery using a beginner machine-didn't want to put a lot of money in an expensive machine if it was something I really didn't enjoy-wish I had gone and bought a more expensive embroidery machine (with usb port) because I've probably spent in total as much as one would have cost me.Customer Review: Best Way To Start Out

I purchased the Brother SE 270D embroidery/sewing machine a while back from amazon and purchased this basic software for transfer of downloaded designs to my embroidery machine. It could not be easier to use. Had no problems with it on my Vista computer. I do believe I followed advise found on this site and downloaded the program from Brother's site due to the Vista drivers needed that were newer at that time. The usb reader box is a snap to connect to my computer and the transfer of designs to the card could not be easier. I just love the creativity and look forward to getting to digitize now with the confidence I found using this software. This is a great way to get introduced to embroidering and not get overwhelmed with difficult software. Do not pass this up as a newbie.Customer Review: BUYER BEWARE!!

The most important thing to know about this card reader is that it is only compatible with "Brother" brand cards. Any other card with designs that is not made by Brother, even if it is the same type of card and IS COMPATIBLE with your sewing machine, will NOT WORK in this reader. Amazing BOX cards or any other 3rd party embroidery card of the exact same format WILL NOT WORK. This means.... unless you buy the more expensive "brother cards", You cannot use any purchased embroidery designs written on cards. You must download them from the internet and write it to the card that comes with the reader. If you are buying this to replace any other embroidery card reader system, such as Amazing Box, none of your cards will be readable!!!Customer Review: Can't get it to work with vista

IS this a problem with software or microsoft? I don't know, but wish the amazon advert was clearer.... I now have sheets I can't embroider for christmas, a $120 piece of software that's not working....and a headache...off to the brother site to see if there is an updated driver....if not I'll be REALLY upset! IF you have VISTA or Windows 7 be sure to do your research before buying and make sure you can find a driver!!!!!
Ok, i upped this a star, there is a driver on the brother website, so DONT use the disk, but go get one offline to use. IF you accidently do download the disk first, uninstall it, then reinstall from online. A bit of a pain, but otherwise, the software seems to work ok...

I can not believe the market tolerates these prices. It works great for what it is intended to do. Allows you to view your PES designs and transfer them from your computer to the blank card you insert in your embroidery machine. No editing features and the card only holds 4mb. Now I have to go spend another 400.00 to 800.00 to get additional software for editing features. Absolutely ridicules! I did get this item for HALF PRICE! So am happy about that. I just wanted to monogram a baby quilt I made, not send the kid to college.Brother PED-Basic Software for Downloading Embroidery Designs
