See this PDF for instruction on "How to use AutoPunch™ Wizard"

AutoPunch™ is not suitable for the creation of lettering.  It is unable to read the data in order to process it correctly.  Even if you created the letters in graphics software and brought them into the SINGER Futura™ program, the AutoPunch™ is unable create a satisfactory result.  

There is an optional program called HyperFont™ that will automatically digitize any built-in TrueType fonts from your computer.  This program is available through your local SINGER Retailer.

When sizing designs in the software for the SINGER FUTURA you can resize designs from the Library in the hoop on screen and keep the design integrity.

All other formats should be changed in the DESIGN/CHANGE SIZE menu in order to change the stitch count.

This will usually result when you are in the Text portion of your software. Simply left click on the "T" to return to the main program and all of the tools should now be accessible.

You cannot import more than one design into the hoop unless it is from the Built-in Library designs. It is possible to add a Library design or Lettering to a pre-digitized design during layout.

SINGER® FUTURA™ machines report the hoop attached to the computer only one time, when the SINGER® Futura™ program is started. If there is no hoop attached the program will assume that the large hoop is mounted. So, if a user decides to use a different hoop than the one the machine has detected, it is necessary to change the program's setting before embroidering (see below procedure, Step 4). However, there is a correct procedure/sequence to set up the SINGER® Futura™ machines for embroidery.
