Neither is as expensive as the PE Design Lite or PE Design Deluxe. I also have Sew What Pro and Embroidery Magic 2 for working with designs. LOLįYI, I use Monogram Wizard Plus for lettering and now they have released Monogram Wizard Plus Extended for working with designs. Their site is a little hard to navigate but you'll get there eventually. The PED Card Reader runs around $100 but if you have a USB port, you can skip that for now. I believe there is a free upgrade for Windows 7. Go to and you can find out which Brother PED Basic version (card reader) is compatible with Windows 7 if that's the way you want to go. I don't have the 400 but do have the 270D and 700II (this one has the USB port). Rather expensive, too.ĭoes your machine have the USB connection? If so, you can transfer designs from anyone as long as they are in the PES format. This is actual software to work with your designs. Brother has the PE Design Lite and the PE Design (Deluxe).

Hi, Sharon, not sure which PED basic software you are referring to. I know this doesn't help a lot, but it is difficult to diagnose a problem before there is one. I think this only works on some versions of Windows 7. If this still doesn't work, then you could use a virtual XP environment. Under the new windows that opens go to the 'Compatibility' tab and check off 'Run this program in compatibility mode for:' and choose 'Windows XP (Service Pack 3)'. This includes modes for:Īny of these can be chosen by right clicking the program that isn't working properly then in the drop down menu go to 'Properties'. Of those programs that are older (designed before Vista existed) if any have a problem running correctly, they can be told to run in a compatibility mode.

Here is something you can try if it doesn't work.īasically, most programs from XP will work just fine with Windows 7. I don't use Windows 7, but I would just try installing it and see what happens. The internet also says it should not work in this case, but it does. I use this software on Vista - 64-bit OS and it works fine.

To prevent a problem, please install these programs instead of using the CD. **If you use PED-Basic on Windows Vista®/ Windows® 7, never install the programs from the CD in your package!! (Instead of selecting your machine, go all the way to the bottom and select PED Basic.) Hopefully this works. **I just found this on the Brother Website.
