I love it!!!! I learned so much from this tutorial. I also brought Creative Beginnings in Machine Embroidery. I read the book first and then watched the tutorial all the way through, great combination. Cleared up a lot of "How do I do this", now I know. Love it. Planning to have a lot of fun withy my CE-250, had it approximatley 1 year. Singer you need to include this with the machine, being able to print out the workbook is a real plus.

There was lots of good info in the tutorial CD, but it moved painfully slow and there was no progress bar to fast forward or rewind if you missed a part or wanted to skip ahead, so you would have to start the entire segment over again. Also, the lady that narrates it does so in a monotone that could be used to lul a baby to sleep. It's good info though, so if you can get past how boring and slow it is you'll get a lot out of it.

I bought this tutorial and when I went to install it in the agreement it states that your Quicktime program must be upgraded to 7.0 and after that is done if you want to uninstall this program you will have to buy back the one you already had. Needless to say I did not install this program or try to see it, I just sent it back! I would have thought that Singer would have given better instructions for using the software without you having to pay extra just to learn the programs you paid extra.

It is well written, but could go more in depthe. I purchased this with the CE150(which by the way is NOT compatible with Vista 64Bit) I thought maybe it was the instructions, but is well organized into differeint catagories so you can just go to the topic you want. Well thought out.,
