Ped Basic - Brother SE 270D
Comments (2)I just saw your post about PED Basic and you may have already purchased it by now. When I first got into machine embroidery, I bought PED Basic because I thought that was the only way to get the designs from my computer to my machine. I didn't realize that my machine had a USB port and I didn't need PED Basic because I can use a USB memory stick or connect my embroidery machine to my computer and transfer the designs directly. Anyway, I am embarrased to say that I used PED Basic for several months before I realized I didn't even need it. I had many problems with PED Basic --it's very limited and I wasn't happy with it. The only thing PED Basic is used for is a means to transfer the designs to your embroidery machine. You cannot do any embroidery editing with it. You will need machine embroidery editing software in order to merge designs, resize, change formats, etc. Basically you cannot use your machine to it's optimum without embroidery editing software. Embird is one of those. Another one is SewWhat-Pro. I tried the trial versions of both for 30 days before I decided which one to buy. I ended up buying SewWhat-Pro because I found it to be much more user friendly than Embird and also less expensive. I would recommend you try them both and see which one you prefer before making your decision to buy. You can get the free trial of SewWhat-Pro at www.sandscomputing.com....See Moredigitizing software for brother se270d?
Comments (1)I use palette, but I have version 5.0. The shop I purchased my machine gave classes to train everyone on it. I think it works very well. I'm teaching my daughter to use it, she is much better at computers than this old lady so she is going right along with it........See MoreHelp finding needles for Brother 270D

Comments (3)Hi tricialynn! First make sure the designs you are putting on the card are no larger than 4x4 and are in PES format. Look at your settings on your PED Basic. Then try transferring just one design. If this doesn't work, go to www.brother.com follow the links for home embroidery, downloads, and get the update for the PED Basic. If I remember correctly, I had to uninstall my basic, then use their version to reinstall. It sounds scary, but is really easy. Go check out brother site if you haven't already! Please let us know how it's going!I've had that machine almost a year now and love it! Lisa...See Moredancingirl_gw
