Price was right for features. Demonstration made operation look simple. NOT! Software is awful & tutorial was no help. Machine Navigator window doesn’t open to transfer images. I purchased an expensive SEWING MACHINE because I've not embroidered one stitch. The demo embroidery wouldn't work. I can't get tech support, they can only be contacted up to 4pm, no weekend help avail. Working people can't call for tech support until after hours, which means, I can't get any help. I really feel cheated.

SO DISAPPOINTED

DEMONSTRATION LOOKED GOOD, BUT MACHINE IS DISAPPOINTING.
CANNOT EVEN OPEN & LOOK AT THE DESIGNS ON THE COMPUTER WITHOUT THE MACHINE BEING ATTACHED TO THE COMPUTER & TURNED ON!
THEN, I HAD TO PAY $99 FOR A DVD TO SHOW HOW TO USE THE MACHINE, AS THE INSTRUCTIONS/MANUAL/CD THAT COMES WITH IT WAS MOST LACKING. I HAVE BEEN SEWING 40+ YEARS AND AM COMPUTER SAVVY.
THIS IS A GREAT CONCEPT, HOWEVER, TOO FRUSTRATING AND NOT THE BEST QUALITY MACHINE. EXPECTED MORE FROM SINGER.

I recieved my Singer Futura CE250 and was so excited! The possibilties are endless, I read all the installation directions before even touching the machine. When I finally felt comfortable trying a project, it was a nightmare! The instructions for how the software works are horrible. I know computers and found it to be quite frustrating. THEN, I tried a few sample embrodiery patterns and the thread keeps bunching under the project and causing a hole in my material.

My wife has wanted an embroidery machine for the longest time. She does quilting to & told me that she can finally make her special quit from the material she has been saving. She has been making lots of presents for the family and been able to personalize each gift is a plus for her. Great job Singer you have a customer for life. She is one happy person and tells everyone about her new machine she would be a great person for a testimonial on this product her name is Mary

I've had mine for about a month now and really enjoy it. The selling point for me, aside from the well known SINGER brand was the fact that I could digitize my own artwork. The program could be a little bit more user friendly, but I've been very happy with what I've made so far.

I had to send this one back and I ask for an exchange. I think they are just reading excuses from a book. I have purchased many, many items from HSN but this one has been a true nightmare. Be forwarned if you have to return it you will have grief. I will be making my next payment and I won't have a machine to use. So far I have talked to 7 different people and received 7 different excuses. I would give them a -0- for their customer service but it won't let me! WHAT A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE!

I just bought the Futura CE-250 and absolutely love it!! I took it from the box and hooked it to my PC and presto started embroidering. It ran so smoothly and quietly, I was amazed. With my new Futura I embroidered 20 different projects in one day and they all came out perfect. Also, I'm making a quilt and love the way the sewing is so easy and effortlessly done. Thanks a bunch for making a machine that really works great. Finally I can do both on one machine.

i love this machine it is my 4th machine. it is easy for me to use and i love the fact you can go on line and get 100's of free designs to use. my other machines are sewing only, and i wanted to embroidery. it sews great also. if quilting you don't need to have a 1/4 inch foot as it has 13 needle settings. i am in my 70/s and sew a lot of things and this machine does it all.

I have owned this machine now for four months it was a very small learning curve. As far as the thread signal on the 250 or the 150 if it says you are threaded incorrectly then check it out.I was a little fustrated at the first,the machine signal is right. You can also break your needle if you are not properly threaded,so read you manual and call singer for additional help. Good luck creating.

I love this machine. It has great versatility. I purchased the brother 270-d, but retured it and purchased the singer futura instead. The futura can convert some clip art and also use the designs I purchased for the brother. The machine is a loud but runs smoothly. I love this machine.

I bought this for the embroidery functions, and am extremely happy with it, with a few caveats. It has a generic error code that goes off every time I begin to sew, regardless of rethreading, etc. I've been sewing for 25 years, so I don't think it's me, you never know. Be sure to use Poly embroidery thread with this machine, rayon will break after a few minutes of regardless of tension settings. Overall, I'm happy with it,just got to figure out that error code and if I can just shut it off.

It is easy to thread. If something isn't correct, it will notify you on the LCD with a code.
The embroidery feature is great and easy to use. Hook it up to your computer and get started. You have the option of using multiple threads by pausing the machine.
You can purchase additional software and allow it to sew any embroidery design that you want.
It runs smoothly every time and is completely reliable. If you have any trouble, refer to the step by step instruction video.

I have learned a lot on this...and I'm a true beginner.
There are so many options on this machine, and you save a lot of money from the other computerized machines by using your own machine!!! I did join the yahoo group for FuturaEmbroidery and they offer more support than you can imagine!

I hesitated in throwing out the box - thought this was too much machine for me - but the box is long gone!

This machine has all the attributes that I need ( sewing and embroidery + loads of designs, including autopunch {digitizing}). However, it is very hard to get started on this machine. The manual is not very helpful at all! It is very frustrating, especially after watching the demo online a few times (in which makes it look very easy). The bottom line is, I am going to keep it - because of the NAME, FEATURES, AND ALL THAT IT CAME WITH ON THIS WEBSITE.
