Review: Must-have accessory for your Brother machine - I was delighted to pick up a refurbished Brother 350 sewing and embroidery machine to add to my collection. This is my first true embroidery machine, so I really had no clue about downloading additional embroidery patterns to my machine. The machine came with 64 "built-in" embroidery patterns. I quickly realized that in order to expand this library, I would need an interface of some kind. Enter PED Basic. Once I realized what I needed and what it would do, I searched online for the best price and found it at desertcart. The PED Basic is really basic. It allows you to download designs from the internet and write them to a memory card that can then be inserted into the embroidery machine. These memory cards are unique, and many of the sewing machine brands have ones that only their brand can read and use. With so many nice internet sites where designs are free or a few dollars, it is really tempting to want more and more. The drawback of PED Basic is that whenever you want to write new designs to your memory card, it deletes all the previous data. A way to get around this is to keep all your designs in the same "folder" on your computer and re-write them all to the card every time you get new ones. Or you could just add new ones and keep back-ups on your computer for designs you might want to use again. All in all, PED Basic does what it says it will do, is easy to install and easy to use because it is so basic. On the negative side, it is overpriced for what it is, but since all the sewing machine manufacturers want to have their own systems, demand is probably low for any given brand's device and they can charge you whatever they want and you will pay it. Review: WORKS ON WINDOWS 7 - I love this!!I have a brother ULT2003D that has a memory card slot and a Floppy Disk slot. Wanting the newer designs for it I purchased an USB External Floppy Disk Drive and it works perfectly for downloading designs from the CD embroidery designs that you buy and also for downloading designs from online. However, my machine has recently started giving me fits so I purchased a very nice, but older embroidery machine for a back up. It only has an memory card slot so I purchased the Brother PED-Basic Software for Downloading my current designs and problem solved. I watched a video on youtube "Machine Embroidery - How to download and save a pattern" which helped by showing me how to make a new file in "Documents" and name it EMBROIDERY DESIGNS and how to put my embroidery designs in this file. Once I did this the book was simple enough to figure out from there, very easy and quick to do. I was surprised how many designs I was able to put on the card - 18 4x4 designs. The designs you select to put on the card can be changed any time you want to use different designs, which is less expensive than buying more memory cards. When you get the Brother PED-Basic software for Downloading it will have a sheet of paper with it that reads, "Important Read Before Use" For WINDOWS 2000/XP/VISTA/7 users. Which is 4 simple steps for set up with the CD-ROM. After that you plug the card writer (PED_Basic) into your USB and your ready to go. ## Features - Allows you to save pes embroidery design files to a Brother embroidery design memory card - For use only with Brother embroidery machines that have built in embroidery card slot - Save embroidery designs for 4x4, 5x7 and 6x10 hoop sizes, and print designs actual size on paper, for ease in positioning designs on your project - Includes CD ROM, 4MB blank memory card, card writer box - Minimum PC requirements: Computer: IBM PC or compatible (DOS:V) computer originally equipped with a USB port; Operating system: Windows 98;ME;2000;XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7 (32 or 64 bit); Monitor: SVGA (800 x 600), 16 bit color or higher; Port: 1 available USB, CD-ROM drive: Required for installation - Note: Check user manual or technical specifications before use ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000GTNEEO | | Best Sellers Rank | #782,859 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ( See Top 100 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ) #130 in Embroidery Machines | | Brand | Brother | | Brand Name | Brother | | Color | blue,white | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 1,091 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00012502602187 | | Is Electric | Yes | | Item Weight | 1.4 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Brother International Corporation | | Material | Paper | | Model Number | PED-Basic | | Part Number | PED-Basic | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | UPC | 884544087815 012502672289 721802488062 599039297760 012502602187 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 5 year limited warranty, 90 days labor. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Brother - **Color:** blue,white - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00012502602187 - **Is Electric:** Yes - **Item Weight:** 1.4 Pounds - **Material:** Paper - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Power Source:** Corded Electric - **UPC:** 884544087815 012502672289 721802488062 599039297760 012502602187 - **Unit Count:** 1.0 Count ## Images ![Brother PED-Basic Embroidery Card Writer - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61LPhYKloGL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: i have a new computer and have downloaded my ped basic program but when i try to load paterns to the card it says im not conected and i am what have** A: You have to download the PED basic software and the driver for the card reader.

Before that, I have 2 other machines, and I used card readers/writers by Amazing Box. My first one broke. The second one still works. But, these Amazing Box products are amazingly flimsy, light and cheap. The software barely works with any operating system, and trying to used the things was always on a hope and a prayer. Then, because I want everything to be just perfect with my new and expensive Brother machine, I bought the PED Basic box with blank card media. I plugged it into my USB, loaded the software, and transferred a design from my computer to the card without having to even look at any instructions. The card then went into my machine, the machine picked out the design, and everything stitched flawlessly. The PED Basic card reader/writer is small and compact, but has a good amount of weight to it. It feels sturdy and of high quality. It is fast and simple to use. So, even if I didn't have 2 inferior products to compare this to, I'd still have to give this box 5 stars. And, you definitely can't beat the price at Amazon! Now, I just have to find an additional blank card, since I like to have 2 or 3 of them "just in case". ## Frequently Bought Together - Brother PED-Basic Embroidery Card Writer - New brothread Tear Away Machine Embroidery Stabilizer Backing 10"x12" - 200 Precut Sheets - Medium Weight 1.8 oz - Fits 5x7 Hoops - New brothread Cut Away Machine Embroidery Stabilizer Backing 10"x12" - 100 Precut Sheets - Medium Weight 2.5 Ounce - Fits 5x7 Hoops --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ma/products/1573014-brother-ped-basic-embroidery-card-writer](https://www.desertcart.ma/products/1573014-brother-ped-basic-embroidery-card-writer) --- *Product available on Desertcart Morocco* *Store origin: MA* *Last updated: 2026-05-26*
