Singer Futura CE-150 Sewing and Embroidery Machine

The sewing machine portion of this machine is wonderful! It comes with plenty of stitches for general household use. Changing the presser foot is easy and the directions and tutorials are extrememly useful.

The embroidery portion of the machine definitely takes some practice, but it is easy enough for a beginner with practice. It's not necessarily the machine that needs practice, but the computer software. It would also be nice for a little more instruction for using the software, but I was able to find helpful information on the internet.

Overall, I would recommend this product and it definitely serves its purpose well. Definitely want to buy your own embroidery scissors even though it comes with some. They aren't sharp enough to do what I need.

I have owned the machine about 1 month now. Threading is very easy and changing the bobbin takes no effort. The embroidery part of the machine is a little tricky to figure out. The software loads very easy and isn't too hard to figure but takes some time to figure all the in's and outs of it. What I found the most difficult and it could be that I never had sewn or embroidered ever before purchasing this machine but it was more the combination of the the right thread, needle, stabilizer etc. for the type of material you are embroidering on. Being a beginner I didn't think you had to take that all into consideration but evidently you do. After figuring the right combo for the type of material, it seems to be going well thus far. I wish though there were more stores that carry embroidering supplies and thread.

I love being able to see what I'm embroiderying on my laptop before it is sewn. It lets me know where in the loop it will be at. Love it.

I have had my machine for a few months now. I did not know anything about embroidery when I started. I took it out of the box set it up and have been going ever since.

I only have one complaint. The large hoop is only 4 1/2 x 6 3/4. I wish it was a true 5 x 7 or 6 x 10.

Here is a project I did with my machine. It took 5 hoopings and then I had to sew it together.

I have had the machine for only several weeks but it sews like a dream! It's very smooth and easy to operate. I have used the same machine for 35+ years and have been babying it for the last 10. I finally broke down and decided to get a new one. Since I learned to sew on a Singer, I've always wanted one and decided a long time ago that when I got a new one, it would be a Singer. So far I'm not disappointed. It is a very smooth sewing machine. I should have gotten one before I now, it would have made sewing much easier.

This product replaced a 1960 Singer sewing machine. I had much trouble using that machine as I am not an experienced sewer. With the Singer Futura, you don't have to be. I have only used it to sew with, but the ease of threading and sewing and choosing stitches was great! Instructions were easy to follow. I would highly recommend this product to anyone. I am thinking about getting one for my daughter who has never used one. I have that much confidence that anyone can use it.

I was nothing but frustrated by the Brother SE270 I had gotten so I returned it and got this Singer Futura Sewing and Embroidery machine. That was a smart move. Although this machine took a week of getting used to its personality, now that I know it better I just love it.

It's sewing function is wonderful. I love the many decorative stitches and the included feet are all that I need to do just about anything. The threading is easy and it has an automatic threader which is okay but I tend to just do it the old way. I swear this machine would sew through concrete is you could figure out how to get it under the presser foot!!! I easily sewed through heavy denim seams with out a bit of trouble and the next day I sewed a nylon curtain with no trouble either. Until now ( past 40 some years ) I had sewn on regular mechanical machines but the computerization of this machine makes everything so easy!

The embroidery function is a dream. The software it comes with is enough to get you started with the included patterns and since the machine attaches to the computer the number of patterns available are limitless because of the Web. I have made embroidered dish towels for all my friends and am starting on monogramed bath towels next. I can't wait to do baby bibs and stuff like that either. One thing I diid find is that you need to buy the polyester embroidery thread if you use it on things that may be washed often because it is colorfast.

I just love this machine and I think that what you get for the price is amazing. Most embroidery machines of this quality are in the thousands of dollars. You must have it connected to a computer in order to be able to use the embroidery function but even if you have to buy a cheap laptop to use for this it still comes out less expensive than the other embroidery machines on the market that have the computers built in. There is so much help out on the web so that if any problems pop up you can get an answer quickly and easily frm either them or Singer customer service which is excellent.

I highly recommend this machine to anyone who is thinking of getting a combo sewing/embroidery machine.
