Very useful!
Date:January 26, 2012
Pros: Good Value, Easy to Use, High Quality
I love this machine. I was a little hesitant to purchase it when I read some of the reviews stating it was hard to use. I've found it very easy to use. I think some familiarity with computers is what makes it more user friendly, at least regarding the embroidery features. If you aren't comfortable using software I could see how the embroidery could be intimidating. The plain sewing features are super easy to use. I've had very good experiences with my Futura. The only drawback is the bobbin size. Love this machine!

I only buy Singer
Date:January 5, 2012
Pros: Good Value, Great Features, Easy to Use
I have the ce-200 and 2 ce-150's.I am one lucky girl. My husband just bought me my 2nd CE-150 for Christmas so that I can make more stuff for our grandkids. I use the CE-200 mainly for sewing these days and it sews like a dream.The CE-150's are great at embordering, the reasons I went with the 150's instead of the newQuartet is that I all ready have extra hoops for it so I can hoop multiple thngs at one time. I also love the bobbin area on the 150's they are so much better than on the 200's. My only problem now is that I have ran out of room for sewing machines lol.

Great Machine
Date:September 14, 2011
Pros: Good Value, Great Features, Easy to Use, High Quality
Had my machine a few weeks and it's great. Can't stop using it. Had another machine for embroidery but this beats it hands down. Sews lovely and is quiet compared to the other machine I had. Easy to use if you know a bit about sewing machines.

Disappointment
Date:March 30, 2011
Pros: Great Features
Cons: Complicated
Nothing but problems with my Futura. It's definately NOT user friendly for someone with arthritis. I've had it in the repair shop 3 times since purchasing it! Never again.

CE-150 Futura Sewing
Date:March 26, 2011
Pros: Good Value, Great Features, Easy to Use, High Quality
Cons: no remedy solutions for a code 19
This machine does wonders! I have sewn a Tuxedo Jacket from scratch in minimal time and hemmed pants galore with only one tiny complaint it throws a code 19 (threading error detected) only when using white cotton thread, It doesn't do it to nylon or synthetic white thread and I cannot figure out why. On the whole it is the best machine I've ever experienced and would still recommend it to all of my associates.

Beginning Embroidery
Date:March 6, 2011
Pros: Good Value, Great Features, well-made not flimsy, software is great
Cons: Complicated, not consistent in operation, "fussy" about setup
I use the CE-150 for Embroidery more than sewing. (I have a Confidence 7470 which I use for majoring sewing projects.) The embroidery software is where most of the value comes from. It does a great job of digitizing designs & photos but has it's limits with customizing fills. I use another software package to do more intense designs and transfer them to the CE-150. Hoops are decent sized. My biggest complaint is constant thread breaking... You absolutely MUST use thread nets. I frequently get misc. errors that require shutdown/restart and removing/reattaching the hoop so it can be frustrating. For the beginner embroiderer, its a good for the price and will definitely server to introduce you to the world of machine embroidery.

NO Regret purchase
Date:October 30, 2010
Pros: Good Value, Great Features, Easy to Use, High Quality
My husband wanted to purchase an embroidery/sewing machine for me. Neither of us knew much about embroidery machines. We looked at other brands. For the features on the CE-150, and the fact its a Singer, we chose it. I started working on it as soon as we got it home. It sews so quietly and smoothly!! I've made baby bedding, burp cloths, receiving blankets, and two quilts with the sewing part. I can't even begin to list the things I've embroidered. The embroidery part was easy to figure out, especially since I knew nothing about it. I've received many compliments on every item that I've embroidered. There's still A LOT for me to learn about the functions in the embroidery, but I WILL learn. I use the machine at least two days a week. The only thing that I didn't like was the beeping about broken thread, BUT that was my fault; I was threading the machine wrong. You MUST make sure it's threaded correctly. Which the 'help' section addresses proper threading; that's how I discovered what I was doing wrong. EXCELLENT machine!!!!

Love this embroidery machine
Date:September 4, 2010
Pros: Good Value, Great Features, Easy to Use, High Quality
This is my first embroidery machine and I just loved it. You defintely have to make sure it is threaded properly. I have started to figure out my machine, each has its own character. The ease of downloading the program and my first embrodery project was wonderful. I would recommend this product to anyone. Thank you Singer for my new toy.

This machine is wonderful! I had a few issues with the beeps and I resolved them. The machine MUST be threaded properly. I have created the most beautiful personalized embroidery items. The machine works like a dream. It's also very quiet. I love this machine!

A Great Versatile Machine
Date:July 11, 2010
Pros: Good Value, Great Features, Easy to Use, High Quality, a joy and fun to use.
Cons: could use a few more button holes.
The Singer CE-150 is both a Sewing Machine and an Embroidry Machine In One. I am surprise how quiet the sewing part of the machine is. It sews through thick layers of material with ease. Sews smoothly with no problems. The embroidry part of the machine is great. The software comes with enough designs to keep you busy for a while. It is easy to use. Once you transfer the design over to the machine all you have to do is press the start button and it does it all without you needing to be there. For the price you are getting high quality embroidry machine that does professional embroidry. I've had my machine for almost 2 years now. It took me almost a year before I tried the embroidry part of it. Once I got started I found that it was easy to use. Since I have started I have been doing embroidry for quite a few people. It's amazing machine. I do not follow the software choosen colors that are listed. I go ahead choose my own colors. The final product is Beautiful. The people that asked me to do the embroidry are just amazed at the outcome. I have several more request's from others to do work for them. It is an Amazing Machine.

threading question
Date:July 2, 2010
Pros: Good Value, Great Features, Easy to Use
I've had this machine for about 2 yrs, it sews great haven't had much time to use all the features, has anyone had a problem with the thread getting stuck where you first began to thread the machine, the constant beeping alerts that something is wrong which is a plus but can be a little annoying when you're trying to finish a project.
