Horrible purchase... marie201, RI Rating 12/1/2011
i purchased this machine after much anticipation and waiting. it did not come with the free software so i had to wait an additional 2 months to get that in. I used it once and put it aside waiting for the software. when i got it in FINALLY i went to use the machine for the second time and the motor was blown!!!!! not only that I have to pay to mail it to New York to get it repaired. that is a big expense. Singer should not be allowed to sell in areas where you cannot get it fixed without

Sorry... mamaj9, IL Rating 9/27/2011
I am sending this machine back, I had trouble with the program, I even had assistance, it is not user friendly. The directions were very complicated and the machine was a disappointment.

CONFUSED!!!!!... SewItUp, NC Rating 9/16/2011
I PURCHASED THIS MACHINE THINKING IT WAS AN UPDATED VERSION FROM WHAT I HAD PURCHASED SEVERAL YEARS AGO. I BELEIVE THIS IS THE EXACT SAME MACHINE THAT I ALREADY HAVE. I KNOW SINGER HAS A NEWER VERSION, WHERE THE HOOP JUST SNAPS ON, THIS IS NOT IT. WILL BE RETURNING. I REALLY LOVE THE FUTURA C250 BUT I WANT THE ONE WITH THE SNAP ON AND OFF HOOP.
