Have you purchased the upgrade and upgrade2 disks? If you have them, you can now open two windown and do a copy/paste from one window to another. If not, the only designs you can use to add two items is the original library. The two upgrade CD's are a bit pricy, but I got this machine because Singer claimed it was upgradable. Finally, the disks were available after about 3 years but that gave me a basic embroidery machine at a reasonable price. Now, I have spent as much for all the accessory disks and upgrade disks that I paid for the machine, but it is now almost equal to the CE300. you can contact me at carol6992@Gmail.com It looks like you may need a sewing partner LOL with this machine and I have a lot of experience with it. Please feel free to contact me as I know the manuals are about useless at times.
