If you have general questions about embroidery, feel free to ask. Thanks for getting back - I really love doing this. BTW - if it turns out that you can't use the Magic card and can't return it, you can probably sell it online. Let me know if I understand your situation correctly - if not, send me another comment and I'll be happy to research further. Just make sure you can return it just in case it won't work. If you have a Babylock dealer in your area, you might be able to find a blank Babylock card that you can buy off the shelf. One more thought - Babylock equipment is often interchangeable with Brother equipment. I don't know of a dealer on the West Coast to whom I can refer you.

This dealer is located on the East Coast, so you probably won't be able to reach them by phone until tomorrow. This link should take you to the page on which the blank Brother Cards are displayed - scroll down if you don't see them right away. I have dealt with this dealer many times and find that they have great prices and are very knowledgeable. If you're not sure, you can call the dealer directly and ask. You might check your documentation to see whether both cards are compatible with your reader and software. The link I've provided below is to a dealer that sells two different blank Brother Cards. I don't think the PE Design software recognizes non-brother equipment (bummer). If you have both a Magic card and Magic Box, the box should have it's own software. Which embroidery machine do you have (not critical - I'm just curious).

The only blank card that the my Brother reader can read is the blank cards made by Brother. I have the Brother PED-Basic sfotware and a Brother PED-Basic USB card writer box. Hi - I think the problem is that although the Magic Card is compatible with your machine, it is not recognized by with the PED writer.
