Top 20 Singer CE-100 Futura Computerized Sewing Machine Questions & Answers

they are too new of a machine to need a gear replaced. It should have a button or small lever to lower your feed dogs. sounds like they might be lowered. Turn the machine by hand and see if the feed dogs raise above the needle plate. If not find the switch to raise the feed dogs.

you should not put an address on line. Try manualsonline.com or contact singer. :)

stop, remove all threading, clean machine,be sure to clean the top tenion disks with a thicker thread, change needle, rethread carefully and try a test swatch. If not working still, your tension could be out of adjustment. Adjust top tension until the top thread of your swatch balances with the bottom. Use two contrasting colors of thread so you can know which tension is wrong, Remove bobbin and dangle by the thread, it should not move untill you jerk it and should drop about 3-4 inches. Adjust small screw until this works. Try another swatch.

Could be the needle is the incorrect size or the thread is not compatible with the embroidery or both. :)

Be sure when you are threading the top thread that you ALWAYS RAISE the presser foot. This releases the tension disk and allows the thread to seat properly. Have you gone back and re-tested on your test fabric? Does it work okay on the test fabric? If so, then there's a suspicion that it has something to do with the fabric, needle & thread of your project. Is your project fabric very dense, heavy... Are you using a stabilizer? A hoop--is it taut, not stretched? Make sure the fabric is not trampolining. Could be an incompatibility. The needle & thread may be having difficulty piercing the fabric. Try a different weight needle, perhaps a microtex or embroidery needle.

if you have it installed, right click on it and go to properties, find the compatibility tab , click on that click and highlight wuin 10, apply and close or go to properties , find the drivers tab , click on that and go to latest driver upgrade

On the back of the wheel there is a "tire". Sometimes the tire wears out. Just force it off and replace it with a new one. If you take a look there is a way to adjust the tire closer to the hand wheel that is moving next to it. It's easy so don't be too concerned.

That's an indicator that something is wrong with the machine, but it's usually user fixable. I'm going to assume that that happens when you attach the embroidery unit and turn the machine on. It indicates that for whatever reason, your machine cannot move the hoop to its default position. That could be because you have the small hoop attached (turn it on with NO hoops), the needle is not in its HIGHEST position, or the unit itself is not making a complete connection. Make sure that it is on solid level surface, raise the needle to its highest position (ALWAYS turn the wheel towards you), make sure the unit is making solid contact, and remove all hoops, and then try turning it on.

What happens when it stops? Do you get an error message? Does it say that it's out of thread? Are you doing embroidery, or sewing at the time?

Are you able to bring the bobbin thread to the top of the needle plate, but it's skipping stitches, or you can't "catch" the bobbin thread to start sewing at all. If you can't "catch" it at all, your machine's hook is no longer synchronizing, and you will need to have it retimed by a technician. The good news is, timing is not something that is unique per manufacturer, which means ANY sewing machine technician should be able to do it.

You have the CE-100 listed, but your question is regarding an XL-1000, so I'm not sure which you're referring to. Regardless, you can download the user's manual free from the Singer Sewing Machine website; if it's the XL-1000, you can also download the workbook free as well.

You have a frozen cam or motor near the hand wheel, and it's going to require service to fix, but it CAN be fixed.

The forward and backward movement is governed by the feed dogs, which are controlled by a cam on the main shaft and powered by a motor. If the cam gets stuck, it will only sew in reverse. You need to have your machine serviced. It may or may not need a new cam; it's possible that only lubrication and service are necessary, but one way or another, the repair should be done by a technician. It does not necessarily have to be done by a Singer technician, though; those are common parts.

Have you already transmitted a design and it has not finished? You can open several windows at one time, so it's possible that there is a pending transmission. If there isn't, I would close the program and then reopen it. That should have cleared out any previous designs that were transmitted in a session.

It may need to be re threaded or the stitch length is not right.
