 Worst embroidry machine ever fine sewing machine September 2, 2010
T. S. Baham (Bogalusa, LA)
I got this machine a couple of years ago and hate everything about the embroidery part of it. I bought it because it ran off the conputer which meant being able to see the design a lot better. I had to send it back right away for repair under warranty. It has never been dependable. I now have a newer computer and a laptop also, the software even with updates doesn't work on either one. Customer support is a joke if you can even get hold of them. I have to admit this is a great sewing machine for my sewing projects and that is the only reason I keep it. I love the way it sews but I already had a sewing machine I got it for the embroidery features. I wouldn't recommend this machine to anyone
 Tooks some patience but I love it August 21, 2010
Thing 1
When I first got this I have to say I got mighty frustrated with it. I had the same error everybody else was having with the broken thread error. I looked and looked and swore I did it right. After doing the thread again and making sure it went around the round part and under the metal plate it worked wonderfully. I ran into the problem that I saw on other sites with the not plugged in and something about x86 and a x64. I downloaded the patch and fought with it for hours, turns out I downloaded the wrong patch. If you have Vista of Windows 7 you need to hit the futura support site and get the patch. I've never done embroidery in my life but after having it for a 1 1/2 days I'm watching it sewing the best monkey that I downloaded for free. I love this machine! Don't let the reviews fool you. It does take a little fooling with but once you figure it out it's wonderful!

I decided to get back into sewing. I shopped the internet for about a year and then decided to buy a singer CE-150 Futura. So far I am very pleased with my new machine.

I have had this machine for 4 years now and as much as I have used it (approximately 10 hours a week) I like it fine, but if something goes wrong with the software it's awful. Both the original installation software and the HyperFont are almost impossible to install; many hours have been wasted trying to get it all set up. Really, it's beyond horrible to work with and both my husband and I are VERY computer literate. At one point I almost threw it out the front door for a snow plow to run over! The software isn't compatible with Vista or XP, you have to install patches, but then it's still a complete hit or miss if it will work. I wish I had purchased something with the embroidery computer included rather than having to hook up to an external computer. I originally wanted an external hookup so I could download images and fonts from the internet, but you can do that with the right built in computer functionality.
Awesome price, great results June 3, 2009

Before my Singer, I had only used a machine twice in my life, so when it arrived, I got a pleasant surprise - I was off sewing within minutes, getting great results and having loads of fun. I especially love that threading is so easy, and you learn quickly where to be careful to avoid thread breakage.
Changing to embroidery unit - no problem, though getting the right foot attached usually takes me a sec. I daringly started off with one of my own Embird designs... without a glitch, even without the use of stabilizer, just straight onto firm cotton.
I love that the machine is easy to use, especially the Futura software. Its 24 standard stitches are more than enough, its embroidery is great. And my absolute favorite is the hoop size! Other machines with a similar (still higher) price tag come with a 4"x4" hoop, this one has two hoops with a maximum of 5"x7". You might not think you will need this, but you will - either when doing multiple designs on one large hoop, or just embroidering longer names.
The manual could be improved at times, but I hardly ever needed it.
I hear people complaining about broken thread - honestly, just like with every machine, you just need to know the Singer's quirks.
During the first 3-5 stitches of every color, hold the upper thread in the back, and no false thread breakage will occur. If it still does, thread the whole thing again and you will be fine. Don't use pre-wound bobbins without stabilizer. It will give you trouble after only 1/3 of the bobbin is empty, and since the bobbin case is plastic, you really shouldn't use metal bobbins either. Just wind your own bobbins when needed, it is easy enough.
Make sure that you use good embroidery yarn; every machine has brands it doesn't like. I am currently extremely happy with the Madeira yarns.
The fact that it needs a computer next to it... You know that before buying, don't you? To me, that is not a disadvantage at all, since I appreciate the large screen, and that I can work in Embird while the machine embroiders, preparing the next project.
It really is an awesome machine for that price. In Europe, the only difference between the 150 and the 250/350 are the number of stitches and which software is included.
Since I am using Embird, I really needed nothing except the Futura software to send designs to the machine, and 24 stutches is more than enough for what I do.
I highly recommend the machine - I am utterly in love with it.
