Singer Quantum Futura CE-200 Problem

Hi,

I've had my machine for 2 years and have not used the embroidery unit very often. I embroidered a week ago fine but when I tried to embroider today, the embroidery unit does nothing . It will not move. The unit does not initialize. It's as if the unit doesn't recognize it is connected. I also receive the error message..... "If hoop is attached, remove the hoop from the carriage. Tun off power switch on machine. Turn on the switch again to move the carriage to machine3 standby position. Attach the small hoop with the power switch turned on." I've followed this instruction but the same error shows up. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!

    I have the same problem...it will work for a while and then stop again. I need help as I have to embroider about thirty shirts for a sporting team and am getting highly frustrated.

    When ready to embroider it keeps saying attach hoop when hoop is properly attached.

    futura software is reporting a hoop is smaller than design

This problem has to be with the communication between the arm and the main machine. Make sure the arm is leveled, to do so, very careful move the arm higher or lower, this creates the connection between the arm and machine. When I find where the off level is I put a thick cardstock folded in half under the arm. When the communication is successful and the machine is on hooked to the computer the embroidery arm should move.

    It may look level. If this is the problem, try to raise the arm a little while is connected. If this is the problem the machine hoop attachment will make a sound. I will try to make a video in UT next week for detaisl.

My machine did the same thing. I had several frustrated nights ans then it just started to work. Some suggestions that I had was that there may be dust where the units connect. Not sure what I did, but it worked.

When I go to fill my bobbin spool, the machine just beeps at me. I've tried everything. Please help!

If you try to wind the bobbin with the embroidery unit on, you need to send a design to the machine before trying to wind the bobbin. If the embroidery unit is off, you should wind the bobbins without any problems

Change the fuse in the plug failing that it could be the inline fuse inside the machine normally near where you plug the lead in, if youcan get to that it is a matter of changing it, and the Hoop must be detachedwhen powering on! Otherwise it will not start. Hope this will help you. Good Luck.

The bobbin case on my Singer CE-150 embroidery sewing machine pops out when I am embroidering. What's wrong

It must not be inserted right, check your manual and if you do not have it handy, go to singerco.com and download one for free. You can cause real damage if it is loose, so be careful that something isn't broken and not letting it seat right.

A brand new Singer Quantum Futura CE 200 Sewing/Embroidery machine, have not been able to embroider or sew a single stich, all I have been able to do is wind the bobbin. When I'm going to start...

Dear Magarita, The safety device is activated when thread gets entangled around the bobbin case. First check by removing the plastic see-through plate. If necessary remove the 2 scews on the metal needle plate and remove the bobbin case completely. Put it back and test by turning the handwheel. It should turn freely.

Hope this solves your problem.

I recently bought a Singer Futura CE-200. I was using the embroidery function, but had to stop due to threading problems. When I went back to the computer a few days later my computer was shut down. I...

Wow, I finally get to have a solution.
1. Turn the machine off.
2. Remove the hoop.
3. CAREFULLY slide the bar on the embroidery unit to the left.
4. CAREFULLY slide the piece where the hoop attaches toward you.
5. Turn on the sewing machine. The machine should take the unit to "standby" with a click.
6. Attach the hoop with the power on.
7. Exit the Futura software.
8. Restart the software.
This "should" fix the problem, however, you may have to repeat this process more than once to get it to "stick".

There is a numbered dial which has numbers and the letter E.  Turn it to E for embroidery.  Thats is the correct tension.
