Hi all

I want to buy a futura 200

I saw on ebay a lot of shop selling it at 799$

It seems to me a good price. What is your opinion?

I want the Futura to sew images from pc, it needs some specific software or it do itself?

Thank you very much

I have only 3 words for you, DON'T DO IT! If you are looking for a sewing and embroidery machine combo, this will do. However, if you are looking for just an embroidery machine only, I recommend looking getting the Brother 700II for the same price.

I use my Futura strictly as a sewing machine only. I had bought my Futura because it has the larger 5x7 sewing area than my brother did (this was before I found out about the 700II). The embroidery program will only run as long as the embroidery unit is attached and hooked up to the computer. The Brother machine does not require any special software to run from computer to machine, plus has the ability to use the brother embroidery cards as well. I hope this helps.

I hate the Singer Futura! I bought one from Wal-Mart a few years ago. It worked ok for the first month. Then I had problems with the bobbin tension and could not find where to adjust it. So I called Singer and they told me it couldn't be adjusted, because it is pre-set by the factory when they make it. I was upset. I got rid of it and bought me a SWF commercial embroidery machine. Love it.

I have the futura ce200 barely used and still in the original box with everything it came with. I have stored it away thinking I would use it again, but am thinking about selling it. Let me know if you are still looking for one. Kristi
