My Brother PE770 takes .DXT files so export the file as a .DXT file.

I have made a short video for you, but these are the steps:

• Place one piece of fabric stabilizer in the embroidery hoop.
• Spray two dime sized dots of Spray n Bond basting adhesive to the back of the card.
• Center the card on the embroidery hoop.
• Load the hoop on the embroidery machine.
• Start embroidering your design.
• Unload the embroidery hoop.
• Cut off extra fabric stabilizer.
