Singer Futura CE150 not abl to digitise image

Hi i am a very new buyer and i would like to buy more software to alow me to do more with my singer ce-150 but what software ?does any of them work with my machine ? or do i have to use the singer software? hope you can help i would like to use my own pictures to send to my macheine

Is the embroidery attachment connected while you are trying to straight stitch?

I have the Futura CE 150 Singer. It will not let me do ordinary straight sewing. One of the red lights flashes the machine makes two stitches and stops. can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong. Thank you Roberta

For the older Singer models (CE100, CE200) the digitizing software (autopunch) was only included in the 200 series. If they still have this concept I am afraid that you will have to buy the autopunch add on, that was (and most likely still is, since they sell it) the software that converted scanned or pixel graphic into embroidery files. Check if you have the autopunch feature installed (if it still works that way with the new software, choose "create" in the menu, autopunch should appear under a grey line with "design library" and "lettering" the two items above the grey line).

If it is not there (and the new version has not hidden it elsewhere) it is not installed and you will not be able to convert jpg's or bmp's to the embroidery format.

Sincerely yours

Aki
