Hi Linda,
Congrats on the new machine, you will love it. I have a BabyLock Espree 2, and there are many similarities between the machines. When buying the embroidery cards, and using the designs to sell, REMEMBER to be aware of copyright laws. Some you can use that way, many you cannot. I would think Disney would never ever allow their designs to be stitched and sold without a license. I have a bakery, and we are not allowed to even draw anything on a cake that resembles a Disney character. The fines for doing this are pretty high. And yes, people get caught doing it all the time. Don't go there. But I did want to tell you that there are many brands of cards that would be compatible with your machine. One website to check out is AllBrands.com. And when you get your machine, learn your format, so that when you might order a card or two, you know exactly what version you are needing. Once opened they rarely allow you to return them. I have bought many and do a lot of embroidery that way. I don't have the time to look for designs online, many of which are freebies. So I buy cards that have great versatility, and I have learned how to use parts of this card, and parts of that card, creating a lot of different things. (I don't sell any of this stuff- just for enjoyment) Get a good book for beginners, read your machine's manual, learn all about stabilizers, and browse the internet. You have a lot to learn, but it is so much fun. It really does get addictive. Enjoy- Karen in NWPA
