It needs oil.. stuck... need to loosen it up

You probably answered your question. The software is not compatible with the computer.

Worst case scenario, replace the bobbin winder for $10 on www.sewingpartsonline.com. Not a bad price, or just buy a bobbin winder from JoAnn's or Amazon. I have one and love it.

possible that win now extinct win xp cannot handle both as from a compatibility issue

First, try a brand new needle. If it was damaged by the previous activity, then it could be causing both problems.

There may be a small "DRIVER" needed for the computer to "see" the sewing machine (*make sure machine is turned on!) when the cable is hooked up. (*could be a bad cable try another they are $2 at fry's) This sometimes requires more computer work to make sure the usb cable is connecting the embroidery machine to the computer correctly. This driver may be located on your Singer Futura Disk? this is not your program to run the singer machine but the one to connect the two so they can communicate embroidery designs and such. Deep breaths it will never work if it goes out any window. Cheers, Embroidery Services San Diego, CA

no damage to the machine yet check the thread size you are using as you may have to use a needle with a bigger eye thread is made by winding the material around and around then using a product to hold the material ends together as a result thread will not last indefinitely and will break easily you may have to use only thread from manufacturers that you know make good thread

In your case, I believe that the needle height is out of adjustment, and it's an easy fix. Insert a #14 needle, and make sure that it is ALL the way up in the clamp. You can determine that by looking at the shaft right above the clamp; the needle end should be resting against what looks like a grey bar. Next, take 10 pennies and stack them on the needle plate. Your machine's needle should JUST be resting under the needle; it should be a tight fit. If it's off just a "smudge," leave it alone. If it isn't, take the cover off the needle area, and locate two Allen screws on the needle shaft. The one that adjusts needle height is the bottom one, and you should only loosen by about 1/2 turn -- not take it off. Adjust to the 10 penny standard, then make sure that the eye is exactly to the font, then tighten.

The design memory has probably been lost so there may not be any way of completing your design. In the future, be sure to use a good surge protector on your machine. It's well worth the price... ...

need to replace part from company

the buttonhole lever may need to be checked to see if there is something wrong with it

That is called the upgrade or compatibility software, and I would recommend that you search on eBay under Singer CE-200.

Could need cleaning and oiling. Access the moving parts an see if it is full of fluff and tiny bits of material fragments. Clean as best you can and oil in the specified places. If that doesn't help it work quieter, then the timing could be slightly out.

This snapshot should work for you. You might need a magnifying glass to read it. Good Luck.

Good I'm so glad

I'm not sure what kind of support you need. However, I had this machine for several years, and I found that the best support I got was from Yahoo and Facebook user's groups.

If you have not used this since 1990, it NEEDS a maintenance. The sewing machine oil evaporates and leave a gunky film. Do you have the manual? Singer futura CE 200 Instruction Manual

I am not aware of any security software designed for this sewing machines.

They're available on eBay; it's the same pedal for ALL CE line machines, so if you see a listing for a CE-100 or CE-350 foot pedal, it's the same as the one for your machine.
