My machine takes cards. 

What should I do? 

If your machine uses cards, then you will need a reader-writer box. You may have heard of the Amazing Box, Magic Box, Pes2Card, or Ultimate Box. These are forms of reader-writers that can write a downloaded design to an embroidery card. The instructions for writing a card vary from box to box, but essentially you put a blank embroidery card in the slot for your format and the tell the box to write a card.

We do not have a recommendation for one variety of reader-writer over another. You can do some web searching to read about the products and find which one is best for you. Or, check with your dealer to see if s/he has a recommendation.
