    I don't know where the best place is to ask this, but here goes...

    Does anyone know a good inexpensive source for the older embroidery cards for Babylock embroidery machines? My 82 year old Mother-in-law bought an older machine from a lady and I'd like to find her some more cards. But man they are expensive! I did find some sites that had them reasonable like $40, but they are all on CD-ROM. Hers is the small card. Or if somebody has some they don't want anymore and are willing to sell ...let me know. Thanks for any suggestions.

    I don't know how cheap you'll find them, but eBay is usually a good place to look for things like that.

    I don't know if anyone is still watching this thread, but, if you haven't already, try embroidery.com, they seem to have a lot of things.

    Hello Gingerlily,

    I have some embroidery cards that are for the older Brother embroidery machines ... they are small, but I'm not sure if they would
    fit the Babylock, I have a feeling it might be the same type.

    1.5"x 2.00" it slides into the machine with the by the wider edge.
    The row of connection holes on the wider edge is 1.5" length.

    You might check if they would work with a dealer and if you are still looking let me know, I have them to sell.

    Best wishes,
    Daisy
