Customer Reviews
- New to Machine Embroidery
I purchased this machine because I wanted to learn to do machine embroidery and didn't want to spend a fortune. I think Singer Futura Ce 250 Embroidery Machine is an excellent value. It seems very solid and sewed beautifully with no adjustments straight out of the box. There are sensors in the thread path that are very sensitive and incorrectly report broken thread quite often. As soon as I got the hang of flossing the thread into the sensors this became less of a problem. There are several yahoo groups dedicated to machine embroidery and the nice people there were of great assistance to me as I got started.

- My first time ever on a sewing machine. So wonderful and simple
When I bought this machine I had never used a sewing machine before in my life. I had never even sewn by hand. I really had no clue what I was doing. I just followed the directions on how to thread it and within a few days I had it figured out. The Singer Futura Ce 250 Embroidery Machine was a breeze. I have gotten the annoying "broken thread" error plenty myself but I have found that if you just change the way you thread it you can find a way it works flawlessly. When I get the error I move the spool onto the vertical spool holder and try guiding it through the thread guide and that will work. So yeah sometimes it takes a second to get it running perfectly but once the thread it fine the machine works great. I realize I have no basis of comparison but for someone who has never sewn before to figure it all out this fast I feel I can let you all know that it isn’t complicated or difficult to use at all. The software is great, my embroideries come out beautifully and I am so happy I bought it.

- Best Embroidery Machine
I purchased my Singer Futura Ce 250 Embroidery Machine two months ago, and I am thoroughly enjoying it. I also purchased the hyperfine and photo-stitch software to enhance my embroidery experience. I am thrilled with the performance of my new machine. The workbook dvd and the machine manual are not as detailed as I would have liked for it to be, but the combination of both provide me with everything I need to perform all of the capabilities the Futura CE-250 has to offer.
