I have a Brother 350SE, then added the Brother PE770. Speaking of hoops - has anyone tried the continuous feeding and embroidery with the Snap-Hoop? I have read everything I have been able to find on it and have been toying with the idea of getting one for my 770 but wonder if anyone has had experience with it?

And you got no user's manual with the Era program? If you can look for the Stitch Universal in your computer... START >ALL PROGRAMS, hover over and see if a window opens with the user manual installed there. Otherwise, I'd do a search on line for it. You should be able to find information SOMEWHERE! I had the ERA program briefly, but liked MY EDITOR better, and the programs list is where I found my manual.

I have a Brother 1500 D emb/sew machine. Love it. Wonderful machine. I also bought the Ped Next software. Wonderful, still learning, but quite user friendly. I love to embroider pieces on all my projects.

Mermaid....I looked at My Editor and see it is a free program also. I am not ready to buy and expensive software for embroidery until I see if it is something I will really get into. I registered to be able to download it but before I do I wanted to ask you if it lets you create a blank design and add wording to it. Thanks! Pat

Hi MzMcKee...I have been looking for this post and your response for several days and finally found it. Thanks for the suggestion. I did download the Stitch Era Universal. I started off great but don't know if I changed some setting on it but now when I go to type in the lettering I want I can only do one line...it won't go to the second line and I hadn't changed the font or size of font.
I read that Yahoo has a user's group for Stitch Era Universal where everyone helps each other with problems...just what I need since there is no "help" with the program. I went on to Yahoo groups and signed up and like with any other Yahoo group that I have signed up for it says you are signed up and the moderator will email you in a day or so of your approval. Well, it is almost a week and I haven't heard back from them yet. When I go to the sign up page it says "your membership is awaiting approval of group

Gotta go to ERA and try that right now...although I didn't do that when I printed the first time. I will come back with my outcome. Can you post or PM a picture of your typical label. Thanks! Pat

This is the newest machine I have, my older emb/sewing machine is the NV1000.
And I have the Floriani Suite Pro software, still learning it though I did take one
class (3 hours long) and learned next to nothing, and then I took a 1 hour webinar
class and learned quite a bit, but still need to learn more.

I've had a BROTHER embroidery machine for a number of years and I am happy with it. I just did three designs in the past 24 hrs. I am putting patriotic designs on a mystery wall hanging that I made many years ago. The designs will be a nice addition to it.

Actually the one I am thinking about is Snap-Hoop and it is put out by Designs in Machine Embroidery (Eileen Roche) - it has a lot of machines (especially Babylock and Brother) that can use it (5x7 hoop). It is a fully magnetic hoop - top is magnetic and attaches to a metal base. It seems great - but also costs $179 to $199, and I was wondering if anyone has tried it. So far I have received a yes and a no about it. ;-0

Are you talking about the endless hoops. I just bought it and Viking's free design this month is one that can be used in the endless hoop. I haven't used it yet but have a few things I want to make with it. The Viking educator was at our store and she showed us how when she wants lace, rick rack, etc she just makes her own and she can make it as long as she wants it. Viking had just came out with a larger one so I got it.
