Hi, I would think that as the PED is Brother and they use PES format that you are not going to get it to work on your Futura in the different format. I look forward to hearing others replies

If you have the pulse Abassador free program, it can change your formats for you.
I changed XXXX format to Pes.
Happy stitching!

I have PED Basic and it's a one-way program meaning you can save onto the card, but not from the card to your computer. The files are overwritten each time you use PED Basic to transfer a file to the card. However if you used PED Basic to initially transfer the files then I'm assuming those designs are on your computer, so you'd have to use a Singer compatible card/USB stick to use those designs in your machine after converting with them to Singer's native format (is it jef?).

I also doubt that the card would be compatible with a Singer machine both in that you can't put it into the machine (I'm supposing), and it won't read the pes files, as they're Brother format. Sorry :( xXx

Singer will read any format thru its futura software. So just load files to computer hard drive. I know of no other way or how to get files on cards to your computer but I know they are out there. But singer does not read cards as you probably know already. Hopefully, someone knows how
to get them on to your computer and then singer software can read them.

Only way I know of is to get amazing box and transfer the designs off the pes card. Mine will transfer from any card .

Ped Basic offers option of browsing desktop or card. Selectcard and upload the designs to PED Basic page. After closing, the designs should be on desktop ..send them to 'my documents' and then you can connect directly to Singer and transfer. If format is wrong, convert with Wilcom, Pulse, or some other program. I'm sure you can retrieve your designs if you still have your box & card. I think I'm right-I seem to remember doing this in the past.

PED basic does not read original cards and let you transfer designs to your computer to use in other ways - like combining designs or making a back-up, or transfering them to a rewritable card. At least my outdated version does not, I don't know if the newer verslons have that capability.
