Where can i download a program to upgrade my Singer CE-200 to repeat the same design in the hoop Thank you

The most likely cause of this is the needle is not ALL the way up, although it may look like it is. The CE machines are VERY sensitive to the needle position. The second cause is putting on the small hoop and turning on the machine; with the small hoop on, it cannot set to its default position. If you want to use the small hoop, leave all hoops off, then put in on AFTER you have turned on the machine.

The needle does not center when you have selected a design to stitch-out?

There is a FAQ for Futuras at the Singer Company website that may be of more help.

Turn the machine off and remove the hoop. Reboot the program and turn the machine back on.

I think you might have damaged the embroidary arm.

Dear cjnations
Firstly we must all remember that the CE200 is a very particular machine and requires that you follow certain procedures in order for it to run smoothly. When using the small hoop, firstly you must make sure that the small hoop is selected on the screen by going to Tools, Select Hoop & clicking on small frame. Once this has been done and the design selected, you must then attach the small hoop before sending the design to the machine. If you attach the hoop after sending the design, the machine will give you the error message.
Good Luck!

Wow, I finally get to have a solution.
1. Turn the machine off.
2. Remove the hoop.
3. CAREFULLY slide the bar on the embroidery unit to the left.
4. CAREFULLY slide the piece where the hoop attaches toward you.
5. Turn on the sewing machine. The machine should take the unit to "standby" with a click.
6. Attach the hoop with the power on.
7. Exit the Futura software.
8. Restart the software.
This "should" fix the problem, however, you may have to repeat this process more than once to get it to "stick".

I have had similar problems in the past.
Do you hear a noise from the embroidery unit when the misalignment occurs ? If so, I suspect that your issue may be that you have some resistance under the hoop. Is there extra material that may be rubbing on the machine or catching somewhere. I have found that if I use some masking tape to keep all of the extra material from hitting any other parts of the machine or dragging under the edge of the hoop this error does not occur. FYI: I also stopped using the "optimize stitch speed" option at the same time. I believe that material dragging was causing the problem, but I still wonder about the stitch speed optimization feature.

When using either hoop you should place the frame on the carriage before you send across the design as there's a sensor in the carriage. Also when you send across the design and it asks you if you want the design optimised for speed you must always say YES. If this doesn't work then i suggest sending the machine to your local agent as the sensors may be faulty.

Unfortunately you can't. It is imposible to move the neddle because of the machine limitation. It will only move to the starting point according to your design.

Not much you can do about it because of the software's limitation. If you're serious about digitizing, get yourself a good software such as Brother PE Design.
