We are delighted to launch the September 2013 issue of Embroidery Made Easy, a monthly newsletter designed to showcase tips, hints and projects for your SINGER® FUTURA™ sewing & embroidery machine. Embroidering is fun, but creating your own designs provides an even more exciting way to unleash your creativity! Fall is here and the kids have gone back to school, so it’s a perfect time to get creative with your SINGER® FUTURA™ sewing & embroidery machine! You can really express yourself by digitizing your own designs. Perhaps you’d like to stitch out some of your children’s favorite artwork and put them on a keepsake quilt? Or a create a logo? Whatever your vision, your SINGER® FUTURA™ sewing & embroidery machine can help you make it come to life. In this issue of Embroidery Made Easy, we will introduce you to the AUTOPUNCH™ digitizing software. You’ll learn the basics of using the AUTOPUNCH™ Wizard and then practice what you’ve learned in this month’s project - a cute embroidered dish towel for your kitchen. In addition, we will explain the “Color Block List” feature that’s inside your software. Hope you’re excited - let’s get started!
