Problem with memory card by
Doh Lar
Hi,
I downloaded the free designs off the Janome website and put them
on a blank memory card.
The designs are on the memory card and I put the card in the sewing
machine and it acknowledges that the card is in but it does not
show the designs.
I tried this on a Janome Embroidery Machine 300E.
