I know we have several new Cuties. Here is a bit of advice I was given long ago and I think should share it again. I, like most everyone else bring my designs from the computer to the machine using a USB. I keep one USB that I use to transfer designs from my software to the machine. I never use it to download designs from the internet. Even USBs can become corrupted. I do this so nothing bad can be transferred to the machine(s) I also only load the USB with the designs I need to finish the project I am working on at the time. I never ever have more than a dozen or so designs on it. I delete designs as I finish a project. How do I know this? Because I have corrupted a machine. Our machines have limited memory and I do not want to overload it. I do use USBs to back up designs as well as an external hard drive. I believe I can never have too many back up systems to protect my design stash. I hope this helps someone.
