Tara,

I use the method of turning inside out for many of the items I make; tees, tote bags, cosmetic bags, laundry baskets, etc.  Am forwarding you directions on a tote and they show how "turning it inside out" works.  Although showing a tote bag, it works for all items.

Good Luck with your project.  Great that you dug right on in instantly upon purchase of your machine!  Good for you.

Tara,

Do you mean a software program?  I am not familiar with the PE-700II but I know that it will handle PED-Basic software; not sure if it handles more updated versions.

If the software program came with your machine, you would have a CD, a reader box and a card.  With the PE-700II, you also have a USB port and you can transfer purchased designs through that to your machine.

Your best bet to learn more about your machine and what you need for it, is to go to Brother.com.  Brother's website lists the accessories that coordinate with your machine.  I have the very old PE-400D and the Innov-is 4000D.    If I didn't have the 400D, I would certainly think of purchasing the 700II.

well, i'd like to be able to add text to designs and stuff, but i'm sure i'll have to buy a program for that, eh?  i'll go look for embird and start with that- thanks!
