I own a Janome Memory Craft 9700 Embroidery Machine. It uses Compact Flash Cards to download your designs to, I use 1 GB Flash Cards, I purchased 2 GB Flash Cards and can't get the software to download designs to it. My question is can it be done or is 64 MB supposedly the biggest you can use?
thank you for your help
I have the same machine and if you watch the dvd included with the machine it says to use a MC no bigger than 1 gb. I use a 512mb and it works fine. Your computer may not have a MC port so you will have to purchase a memory card reader which you can purchase on ebay or at Fry's for around 10 dollars. All the files need to be saved on the MC card as a SEW or JEF file. When you go to your machine touch the emb. key then the disc key and you should see your files. You may also need to turn the page; sometimes it save it on different pages.
You will probably not be able to find a MC smaller than 2MB in a electronic store so check E-Bay. You can also buy them from Janome but I think they are more expensive. You are also supposed to put the card into your machine first to format it. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Yes, most of the times the card is formatted but you want to make sure. I really do not understand how that works (putting it is blank to format it) but that is what I was told to do. From what I understand they are usually formatted to work with the machine. Are you downloading fonts and designs from the internet or use?

The largest compact flash disk that you can use is a 512. You can buy them on Amazon and other places. Just Google 512 compact flash disk.

I never went and took the free classes with the machine. I had a 5700 before this one. I am finding out I didn't know enough about either machine.
Thank you
Thank you I didn't know that would you please explain better how or why you need to put the card into the machine first to format it. Do you mean you put a blank card into the sewing machine and the sewing machine then formats it? Thank you again for all of your help.
Yes I do download designs from the internet but I am careful of where I get them and what the copyright laws are with the designs that I use.
Thank you once again you have been very helpful. It appears I need to go back and reread my book and look at my DVD that came with the machine and software.
