Default Singer Futura

I have the singer futura and it does double as a sewing machine but i just use it strictly as an embroidery machine. I do keep it hooked to my laptop at all times. I don't buy disks because on this machine you can draw your own pics and upload them to your laptop and do autopunch and it will sew the item for you. It took me a little while to figure it out but it does a great job. I do have one thing to tell you about this machine though. It was in the shop alot because the guy i bought it from wasn't a singer dealer!!! He didn't know that they had changed out the bobbin mechanism because it was not functioning properly. So if you purchase this machine you need to make sure it is from an APPROVED SINGER DEALER!! I HAD TO DRIVE A 9 HOUR ROUND TRIP TO GET IT WORKING PROPERLY!! They did fix it for free of course because it was under warranty at the time. Here are some of the items i have made with the machine. You can't upload images you actually have to draw them and color them and then upload to your pc and then you can autopunch it and the machine will sew it for you.
Hope you find one you really like.
