Hi Sue,

I can think of one website that might possibly have hoops on it for the Brother PE-150. Here's a link to that website: https://www.sewingpartsonline.com/ If you're not able to find anything there, then maybe someone who sees your post will have some hoops they can sell you. Best of luck, and have a great day!

Hi Inge,

Thanks for checking! I don't see a compatible Snap Hoop to the PE-150 on our compatibility chart from DIME. (the Snap Hoop manufacturer) I'd recommend checking with DIME, in case they have a hoop they're planning for the PE-150. You can contact DIME at 888-739-0555 or [email protected] Have a great day!

Hi Marjorie, I don't remember what is in the box for this machine as far as foot options (I think there might be an extra embroidery foot), but I can tell you it doesn't stitch straight the same way a sewing machine does. It will only stitch with and embroidery hoop attached. It does have some pre-programmed basic shapes that you could use to creatively get a straight stitch for a short length (4"), but you would also need to contrive to hoop whatever it is that you want to straight stitch on.

For example, if you want to do a hem, you would maybe hoop some soluble or tearaway stabilizer along with your pre-pressed fabric for hemming, and then stitch a part of a straight stitch rectangle to complete 4" of hem, then move your fabric and re-hoop to complete the next 4". As a technique, it's completely impractical for larger projects, but can be used in a pinch or for smaller items.

This machine comes with a number of embroidery designs built in, besides the basic shapes, and that's what it's really designed to be used for. You can also get more designs from the Internet (on sites like Embroidery.com, for example) and stitch them on this machine, if you have the card reader/writer for it.

We do not, Toni. If you're looking for pre-loaded cards, please check sites such as https://www.allbrands.com/ or Ebay. If you're looking for a blank card and transfer system, we can recommend the Ultimate Box Plus and Ultimate Card Type I, both available from http://vikant-emb.com/. Please let us know if you have further questions.

I have the Brother PE 100 Pacesetter and owned it for over 20 years, I also bought 2 cards from japan luckley my Daughter was from kerea and could reed the cards maby this will help you may have to fond someone that can reed manderen

Hi Jana,

You probably have used cards before, right? And you know that the designs will only appear if you touch the card icon on the machine? If not, try that.

If that isn't the issue, I suggest looking back at the description of the cards. Some cards will fit a machine, but not be compatible with it. If you find that the card was written for a different type of machine or format, then you'll have a better clue as to what type of card reader is needed.

You can purchase the PED-BASIC set. Any card that supports .pes will work.. Also this machine can only size up to 4x4

Hi, Snowy. Thanks for the question. At Embroidery.com, we sell the Ultimate Box and Ultimate Card, which are compatible with your machine. I'd recommend the Ultimate Box Basic or Plus, along with the Ultimate Box Type I. We do not sell any hoops for your machine. You might try AllBrands.com for recommended hoops and supplies for your specific machine. At Embroidery.com, we do sell a large variety of supplies such as designs, stabilizers, thread, applique materials, and much more that can be used on your machine.

Hi, Susan. You could try websites like Ebay to see if you can buy a used card writer. Otherwise, if you need another option, I can recommend the Ultimate Box Basic, which we carry here at Embroidery.com.

You can also buy Embird which works with all programs. You can save the file on your computer and write it to the card. They have font's built in but all modules cost separately. But I was able to buy a little at a time that way.

Also for the power cord go to the Goodwill. They sell them for 1.99 at all of them. I have many of them.

Hi, Linda. The answer to your question is two-fold. You would first need a transfer box to transfer your designs from your computer to your embroidery machine. I would recommend the Ultimate Box Basic or Plus with a Type I Ultimate Card for you.

Lettering software is the second thing you would need. I would highly recommend the Embrilliance Essentials as it makes lettering so much easier than any other lettering software I've found.

Hi, Donna. Embroidery.com does not offer such items for sale, but you can try doing the following search:
