Trust me, this machine gets confused easily, fewer colors is better. It is best in this case to choose relatively low number to reduce thread changes and machine confusion. The following window prompts you to choose a number of colors to reduce your image to. You will need to pick a size that fits within the hoop you have chosen. I suggest cropping before you get to the Singer software. Window number two gives you the option of cropping your image. This one is easy, you probably have one in mind. A window will pop up and ask you a bunch of questions.įirst it will ask you to select an image.

#Singer futura auto punch software
Open the Singer Futura software and under the 'create' menu select 'autopunch'. Transfer your file onto that computer using a USB drive or whatever you prefer as a file transfer device. The power cord should be stored on that shelf as well.
#Singer futura auto punch password
There is no password or username necessary to log onto this machine. This is the only computer that has the software loaded onto it.
#Singer futura auto punch Patch
There is an embroidered patch on it that says "CNC EMBROIDERY MACHINE". The embroidery machine has a dedicated computer that lives with it on the shelf by the electronics lab. If the screws become loose with all the vibrations in the machine your embroidery may come out skewed.

Even though these are knurled screws, I suggest actually using a screw driver for this rather than just tightening with your fingers. Insert the hoop into the machine and tighten both of the screws that hold it in place pretty darn tight. If you are making a patch you can cut off the excess fabric at this time. This part is a little tricky and it might take some time to get it tight enough. As you tighten the thumb screw pull the fabric tight as well.

Now press the inner part of the loop into the outer, pinching the fabric between the two parts. Face the hoop so that the bracket is facing down and lay your fabric on top of it. Start by loosening the thumb screw on the side of the hoop and separating the two parts. I suggest using thick fabric with this machine to avoid any stretch or movement, but I have seen simple designs work well on thin fabric too. If you can fit your design in the small hoop it is better to use that one because there is less room for the fabric to stretch out of shape and distort your image. This machine has two sizes of embroidery hoop. Make sure the thread is wound around it counterclockwise and hook the end of the thread under the small metal hook in the front of the bobbin case. Open the clear plastic door on the bottom of the machine and place the bobbin inside. I would suggest using the bobbin winder on one of the other machines instead, it's not really worth the trouble. Loop the thread from the spool, up to the thread hook, around the chrome button on the top left and back to the bobbin winder before using the presser foot to activate the bobbin winder. The bobbin winder is located on the top right of the the machine. In order for the bobbin winder to actually spin you have to disconnect the embroidery attachment and unplug the USB cable from the computer. There is also a bobbin winder on the Singer Futura but it is a bit of a pain to use. Like most sewing machines, threading the needle is the only tricky part. Place a spool either the vertical or horizontal rods in the back right of the machine, and follow the arrows on the machine. Threading this machine is pretty straight forward.
