| Small, portable, easy manual, comes with soft case, quiet machine. | Most users find it easy to start sewing with this machine. Good value, less than $200. A lot of stitches. | Good online communities for learning machine embroidery (Yahoo Group called FuturaEmbroidery). Machine and software are reasonably easy to learn. | Simple and easy to use, no complications, made to sew through very thick material.Capable of working on heavy fabrics, but also able to handle fine fabrics. | |
| Warranty from Singer hard to get service, front loading bobbin. | A few users have problem with loading bobbins. Needle threader isn't always easier than threading the needle yourself. LCD screen is one more thing that can break. | Sewing machine must be attached to computer to machine embroider. The 250 comes with only basic software. Machine embroidery thread is expensive. | Vibrates at higher speeds. Plastic bobbin case. | |
| This little Singer mechanical sewing machine gets generally good reviews by users. With only the most basics such as 8 stitches, a 4-step buttonhole function, and a few presser feet, this machine is best for those who have simple needs from a sewing machine. Most of the reviewers who were happiest with the machine were either beginners or only wanted the most basic functions on a sewing machine. | A good machine for beginners and those who want basics with some extra stitches for decoration. Many positive reviews on Amazon, ePinion, Wize, Target, etc.. Don't skip the user manual, go through it first time set up and you'll have a lot of success. | You can have a lot of fun with machine embroidery for your crafts or garment sewing. Keep in mind that you must have a computer to use the embroidery functions, so if you don't have one you will need to add that to the price. Also you will need special machine embroidery thread. You must invest the time to learn to thread the machine properly. | This is a no-frills workhorse that can sew for classrooms or a small business. The machine is made to be stronger and faster than standard home sewing machines. Reports of problems with timing seem to be lemon machines, so choose to purchase from a company that will replace yours if you get a DOA machine. | |
