Singer® Futura CE-150 Embroidery Sewing Machine - PC Powered Embroidery Complete with Software and 120 Built-In Designs

In 1850 Isaac Merritt Singer, an enthusiastic inventor produced the first perpendicular action sewing machine, capable of sewing a continuous straight, curved or angled line, and in 1851 the company, I.M. Singer & Co. was formed. Though times have changed, the Singer Sewing Machine philosophy remains the same: We're still teaching the world to sew, but we're doing it in ways that appeal to a faster moving technology driven audience.

The Singer Futura CE-150 is a sewing and embroidery machine in one. It has a sturdy aluminium frame and is packed full of features including three Stay-Bright LED lights - a light on either side of the needle area as well as one light over the large surface to the right of the needle, automatic needle threader, and top loading jam-proof bobbin system with clear cover. It has Optimum Power Control which provides precise piercing power when sewing multiple layers or dense fabric. The piercing power is the same regardless of sewing speed. This machine is truly a genius, with the option of sewing or embroidery you will be designing and making beautiful pieces for you and your loved ones.

The sewing machine has 24 built-in stitches, 7mm stitch width and programmable needle up and down.

The embroidery function is PC powered and comes with software that has 120 embroidery designs, built-in tutorial, link to thousands of designs, 5 popular fonts and 3-D Realistic view - this function of the software provides a preview of the selected design in a manner such that the stitches appear on screen as they will when sewn out on the fabric as well as many other features.
