Your problem is most likely that you've run out of bobbin thread (or about to and the bobbin thread is now loose around the bobbin), your top thread is broken/about to break, or you have a birds' nest (a messy knot of thread) forming underneath the fabric/presser foot and/or within the feed dog. Upon occasion, it's a false alarm. Remove the fabric from the machine and clip your threads. If your bobbin and top thread are fine, place your fabric back in and start sewing again. If you get the stop and beep again and the threads remain unbroken, try rethreading both the top thread and the bobbin. Should you still get the alarm, hit the button to start and see if it resolves itself after a couple of tries. If it doesn't, afraid you have a problem I haven't encountered yet. But so far, the above steps have always resolved the problem for me in the last 6 years.

ANOTHER THING IS TO CHECK THE TENSION OF THE BOBBIN THREAD. MAKE SURE THE THREAD YOU ARE USING IS GOOD THREAD THAT DOESN'T PULL THE COTTON UP AND CAUSE A PUFF BALL ON THE NEEDLE. CHECK THE WAY YOU ARE LOADING THE TOP THREAD. ALWAYS DO THIS WHILE THE FOOT IS UP SO THAT YOU CAN CONTINUOUSLY GIVE TUGS THROUGH EACH OF THE GUIDES. THIS HAS TO BE LITTLE TENSION WITH NO SNAGS.

Disconnect the machine from the computer and try again to install. If it still fails you can try several other ways. You may need to move all your saved patterns to a jump drive or external hard drive. Then use Windows Explorer to find and remove all left over files of the program from your hard drive, then try to reinstall. Good luck!

Would be useful to know the machine/model and details of the issue...so little to go on in just 4 words Good detail = good reply

The top thread is what pulls up the bobbin thread. What does the stitch look like?

Hi Pamela, i think NO WAY. But you can ask the copy of softwear cd because you lost the keys.and it is not a wrong thing and they will give you the access key for your machin serial number, good luck. regards, nuwan

Can not do by yourself. Mine did the same thing after just having it 3 weeks and I had to take in to authorized Singer Dealer to repair. Now without machine for several weeks and probaly out alot of money for repair. Should have got a Brother!! Hope you have better luck than me.

I have a CE-250 and I was having problems getting this message. After doing some research, I discovered that it was the thread sensor not sensing the thread. Try rethreading it or cleaning out your sensor area. It works for me when I get this message

Your USB not yet recognised, You may have to manually install new device or hardware till your PC reads your new device is ready to use.

My suggestion for now, have the earlier window version that you have been using for your CE100 also installed in your new computer.
