cable for embroidery machine

I bought a 10 ft. USB cable Wednesday at Target for $14.99 and I just happened to have a $5 coupon! Also, 411inkjets has them for $7.95, free shipping. Possibly they would have them in an even longer length.

Thanks, I never thought of Target, and what I need is about 6 feet, but 10 feet would do. The necessary thing, this one must have a USB port on one end and a serial to fit the Pfaff cable on the other. The 7560 is an older machine. I have been downloading designs from the internet on to discs and then setting up an old laptop on the machine cabinet apron to use them, but it would certainly save time and effort if I had an extension cable.

G'day Emily

Check eBay.....you will find all sorts of cables and adaptors there and it saves going from store to store and still not get what you need, they will probably be cheaper too, or at least that's what I've found.

Br> Thanks, I never thought of Target, and what I need is about 6 feet, but 10

They also had the 6 ft. length, but I guess I was thinking you were needing a 10 footer like me. Also, you could try BestBuy, Circuit City, Office Depot, Office Max, Staples, etc. if you have those near you. I love eBay and they certainly get lots of my money, but when I need it RIGHT NOW, I head to the appropiate store.

has lots of good computer accesssories

Thanks, we have looked at all the mentioned stores plus Comp USA and maybe

1-2 others, I don't remember. There is no Staples in Houston. DS and I are going to Target tomorrow. Emily

compusa is always 2-3 x higher than newegg on accessories, we've found.

Aaarrrgghhh! I ordered a "Singer" USB-to-serial adapter (SINGER® part number 270 10U1-06101) from the Singer Service Center in Bellevue, WA, and paid $39.95. The one they sent is *identical* to:

sells for $10.99 plus $4.99 shipping. I'm headed off to return the "Singer" one...

see? ;-)

Does that not just make you sick?!? Theses places like Singer ought to be ashamed to take advantage of people like that. Boo, hiss-hiss.

For the same price you can pick it up at Target ($14.99), if you have one near you or order from 411inkjets with the usual stuff before and after the address. They are $7.95 there with free shipping for a 10 footer.

I have shared my tale of woe over on alt.sewing.mach-embroider. I actually had five different USB-to-serial cables here, then found that my problem was with a defective main board on the embroidery machine. :-(
