Review 1 for Singer Futura XL-400 30-Stitch Sewing and Embroidery Machine
High hopes were dashed! :(

When I first received this from Wal-Mart.com at my door, I was impressed with just the shear size of the box. My husband was impressed with how much it weighed, and had a huge foot print!. lol
Well, I knew the machine would sew, but that's not my main reason for buying it. I bought it to embroider. So that's the first thing I checked to see how well it would work. Boy, was all my fears realized. I went through 10 (TEN) needles in just two days! And I didn't even get a whole project completed. Every time it was done with a color of thread, it would move back to the center position. When it did, the thread would not be given enough slack to do that. It's like it had the brakes on, and snap! would go another needle!
As if that wasn't enough, it did not like going around a scalloped curved edge. The thread would break all through out that whole agonizing feat, and get nests under the the hoop!
It was loud and clunky on the embroidery attachment.
I was looking forward to making large designs, but instead I was on the phone with Singer for about two hours going through all the steps that led me to call them in the first place. And yes, I made sure that I had the right bobbins, stabilizer, needles and thread. But in the end... even Singer told me to take it back and exchange it. Well, I couldn't do that because I must have bought the last one Wal-Mart had in stock. So, I ended up with a refund and no machine.
Do yourself a favor and buy a Brother! I have over a million stitches on my SE-400, and it's still going. I did end up ordering the Brother PE 770. It's an embroidery only machine, and only does up to 5x7 designs...but for the money, it's a better buy and less of a headache!

Great machine for the price

This sewing/embroidery machine is full of great features and is easy to use. I shopped around for a while and saw this was a great value for the features it has. It had all of its parts in the box and seems to be well-made. I trust the brand because my grandmother has had a Singer for several decades, and it still works. I'm a beginner sewer. I literally had never before used a sewing or embroidery machine, and I was able to set it up and get it running immediately just by reading the instruction manual. Would highly recommend this for any experience level of sewing or embroidery.

Love the machine. It does beautiful work. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to upgrade. I had a Walmart Disney machine, which I still love, but the Singer embroideries large areas, which is the reason I upgraded. Great Machine. Very user friendly..and I can use any of my embroidery files, it uses all types which is really nice..

Review 6 for Singer Futura XL-400 30-Stitch Sewing and Embroidery Machine
Excellent machine for the money

This machine is fabulous for both sewing and embroidery. The super simple threading, makes it great for those of us that have trouble seeing the small needle hole now. The automatic needle threading and simple top drop-in bobbin are great.
The embroidery tool offers a nice large embroidery space, plus a multi-hooping feature that allows professional quality work on a home machine.
Singe keeps the cost down by letting you use your own computer rather than having it built in, which makes them less expensive to service. I love the great customer service available through their toll-free number. I have had several Singer machines in the years I have been sewing, and this is my favorite!
