Look what I learned to do. Love my new machine but they don't give you any instructions on how to use the software with it. Its a good thing I am used to teaching myself. This is my grandaughter I did away with the background and her date for prom, croped it then took it into the sewing photo program then enlarged it and did it in black and white. I used 5 colors of gray and one very light flesh tone.
The first one didn't turn out so good so here is the second (for lack of a better word) sewing art piece I have finished.
I have used 5 different shades of gray and on very light flesh tone.

Thank you. When I heard it came with all the software ... Auto punch (auto digitize clipart)...Photo Stitch ...Hyper Fount ... and Editing software, I had to get it. Software they said cost 250.00 each I just had to buy it. That is 1000.00 worth software..

Hi, I am so happy for you! This is great.I can't see very well so what kind of machine/size hoops, do you have? Did the software, to digitize this, come with it? I am so excited for you, enjoy your new plaything(machine).-Toogie

They offered software with machine. Cost otherwise 250.00 each. Hoops that came with it are 4x4 and 6x10. I wish you were here I would be jumping up and down with you. I am also so excited.

Did you purchase it from QVC or HSN? I looked one up with the software programs, but it was sold out.

Oh yes but going to try for one in color first to see which one I like best. I was thinking one of each of my grandkids would be lovely on a quilt. What do you think.

The picture art is fantastic. Congratulations on your self teaching. I see this and I want to try but I thought I could do digitzing and bought Generations and have never been able to digitize a thing.
1 comment
Thank you. I tried to do digitizing also many many years ago. I have done a few but software gets old and income changes so I appericate the hard work that goes into everyone elses designs.

Oh for sure get out the software. You will love it almost as much as you love the machine. The machine is a little louder then my Brother and Janome but it is great otherwise.

Someone ask me if this was a XL400....It is a Singer Furura Quartlet. It sews beautiful like I would expect from a singer machine but love the embroidery feature with it....Have not tried to do the color one yet because of my hospice volenteering and needing to get orders done but will play soon.
