My Singer Futura CE-250 keeps giving me an error

My Singer Futura CE-250 Software keeps giving me an error message that my machine is not connected to the pc/not turned on but it is connected and on...when I unplug the machine, my computer makes the sound it does whenever a usb device is unplugged. The machine has been working for months and suddenly can't recognize the machine as plugged in. The machine is also flashing PC. My OS is Windows XP.

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 carefully move the arm higher or lower, this creates the connection between the arm and machine. When I find where the off level is successful I put a thick cardstock (or stable flat object) under the arm. When the communication is successful and the machine is on hooked to the computer the embroidery arm should move. Good Luck!

"PC" symbols on the machine panel if it is not connected to PC and switched on is a normal behaviour.
As for communication failure try to remember whether something on your pc has been changed: windows upgrade, machine got connected to another usb port etc. If any of such changes have been made try to reinstall Futura software. Otherwise launch troubleshooting utility and send its report to futura-support.

I have a Singer Futura CE-250 Sewing and Embroidery Machine. I don't have a CD to install the software on my computer. Am I able to download the software?

Do you have computers at work? You must have friends with a Desktop computer? Give them the disc and a USB memory stick. That is the long way around the problem, but you can download it online from the Singer Website :>D

Singer Futura CE-250 has a error E6? I'm trying to do embroidery.

Question edited for clarity.

It is a Hoop Error or Motor lock Up depending on who you listen to :>D This seems the best advice from Singer.

Hi.My Singer Futura throws error message to make sure that cable is connected and machine turned on.

I suspect the incompatibility is between the software written for a CE350 machine trying to communicate with an older CE200 and not the PC operating system/hardware. Try the CE-250 software... free download from singer. http://www.futura-support.com/products/ce-250/software

Singer 250 can not run 86 on 64 platform

There is an update to give an x64 driver for the Singer CE-250 that will let you run on an x64. With the sewing machine not connected to the computer, install the software that came with the machine. Click OK at all of the "cannot run x86 build on a 64-bit OS" messages. When it is done, install the software from http://futura-support.com/products/ce-250/software . (The second one is for XP, Vista, and Win7 versions.) Accept the unverified driver (install anyway). After this completes, then connect the sewing machine to the USB port on the computer.

Similar patches exist for the CE-200.

I hope this helps. Please add a comment with the version number of your software. I know with Husqvarna Viking's 3D Embroidery, there are versions that can be upgraded to work with x64 and versions that are not patchable.

I have a Singer Futura CE-150 and it keeps stopping due to "Thread break error" but the thread and bobbin seem okay what could it be?

Either upper thread is not passing through thread sensor area or sensor is broken.
Second possible reason is that if design is not optimized the sporadic speed change provides thread breakage error even if the thread is not broken physically. Make sure your software is updated to optimize it automatically (Futura main menu->Help->Live Update).

Singer CE0100 Futura connection error....

Hi I had the same problem sent question to Singer and this was their reply

"Do you have Vista 32-bit or Vista 64-bits? Unfortunately the CE-100/200 machine will not be compatible with either Vista 64-bit systems or the newest Windows 7 computers. The CE-100/200 will only be compatible with Windows 98 through Vista 32-bit operating systems.

This appears to be a hardware issue and not something that we will be able to create a patch to correct. Drivers necessary for 64-bit operating systems are not compatible with the CE-100/200 machines." so I guess we are SOL
