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.
