OK, I just got my first embroidery machine this weekend. I got the Bernina Artista 165. Up to now I have mostly just been a sewer, but have been thinking of getting into machine embroidery as well (I had held back because I'm so not a ducks-in-bonnets person!). But the price was right on this machine! For now I just have the machine, and have not purchased the software....
Anyway, I'm also a techie person, and was wondering exactly what the hardware format is for the embroidery cards that the Artista uses and can I use hardware other than what Bernina sells? Do I have to get their card reader-writer? I was going to get a few pieces of artwork of mine digitized and was thinking I would have to find a way to get it from the CD into the embroidery machine.... which means I would need a card, and a reader, right?
Thanks for the help if anyone can help!
