I am an artist and would like to know if I have the option to use designs I have created myself on the singer futura xl 550 embroidery machine.

You can, using the software that comes with it but it is not as easy as it sounds. The computer takes the image and adjusts the color itself along with the kind of stitches needed. It takes practice and trial and error to take the image and stitch it. If you have lots of small color areas it will be difficult to have it transferred accurately.

It will.only work if you can save your project go the format needed and if your machine takes.a disk to transfer to your embroidery machine.

No you need the SA444 or SA445 hoop found here: (SA444) http://www.amazon.com/Large-Embroidery-Hoop-Replacement-Innov/dp/B00EDNN9LW/ref=aag_m_pw_dp?ie=UTF8&m=A1RDLBSMJ0S327 and here (SA445): http://www.amazon.com/Extra-Large-Embroidery-Hoop-Innov-/dp/B00EDNQ8CE/ref=sr_1_1?m=A1RDLBSMJ0S327&s=merchant-items&ie=UTF8&qid=1428588605&sr=1-1&keywords=sa445

If your main focus is monogramming for personalizing your quilts, the SINGER 7470 Confidence sewing machine has alpha-numeric stitches built in. You can stitch out letters and numbers to create quilt labels, etc. The SINGER 7469Q Confidence Quilter sewing machine does not have alpha-numeric stitches built in, however, this model does include extra accessories for quilting. Both machines have Drop Feed, and you can do monograms with the free-motion sewing technique on both. When you monogram this way, the feed dogs are disengaged, a Darning/Embroidery Foot (included with the SINGER 7469Q, optional purchase for the SINGER 7470) is placed on the machine. Then, the fabric is manually moved in a free-motion manner as you stitch. Use this technique to do not only monograms, but stipple quilting, thread painting and more.

I would look in the manual that came with your model machine. I do know that some machines are a little picky and prefer the specific brand and size. I found that out with one of my embroidery machines.

Sorry I cannot answer your question. I wasn't pleased with its limitations and having to buy more software and wound up buying the 6-D Embroidery Premier software

The pro version has the machine option; and a library of some patterns (Donna Vermillion Giampa; Kooler Design Studio). If you are a regular stitcher (rather than a teacher or a designer), the regular program will do everything you want! mb

Trisha, Buttonholes can not be done on this machine. This is an Embroidery Only machine. Thank you,

We can do it either way, however, if you design your own stamp, please convert the fonts and send us a vector .pdf. Otherwise, we would prefer for you to send your logo and we set up the stamp. You can request a proof when you email us after you place your order. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks so much. Lisa

I have the answer now. I purchased the machine. There is a USB port and cable, to connect from computer to embroidery machine. No special software is needed; just be sure to download images in PES format. Easy and fun!

Sadly (if you're on a budget at all), the next step up I believe is the Brother 1250...a gorgeous machine, but runs about $1700. Not available at Amazon; I think you have to buy it from a dealer. I want exactly the same thing, but not to spend that much on a hobby I only do once in awhile. I ordered the Singer Futura XL-400 because it just is TOO tempting despite the reviews....has large embroidery area and some nice regular sewing stitches....guess what? The machine CROAKED the first time we tried to embroider with it! My husband is a computer guy and I'm experienced at embroidery...we read the directions carefully..... VERY disappointing, I should have believed the reviews here on Amazon....would not recommend that machine, no matter how tempting it looks! Getting customer service from Singer is nearly impossible, too. Hope you find this helpful....wish Brother would come out with something as dependable as the se400, but with 5x7 capabilities at the lower price!

Yes you can. I actually work at Things Remembered, and I purchased these and engraved them myself. Luckily, Things Remembered will engrave Items from other stores. So you are all good on this.

Lea, you are more adventurous than I am- but I believe you can. I know there is also an option with the Silhouette that also allows you to upgrade and allows for a lot more flexibility in its use. I suggest you go to Pinterest and search for the Silhouette cameo- there are many pins there with plenty of information on this great machine!

I believe all the "parts" are adjustable for all the Singers. I bought my 1/4 foot and it didn't have a model # but it was a Singer product and it works perfectly. My machine is a 9960 and also does embroidery.

Absolutely. Viking machines use a HUS, VIP, or SHV format for their embroidery files. PE Design Next can export files created in their software into these and many more file formats to work with not only Viking but Singer, Tajima, Babyloc, and a host of others.
