Hi Jen......I have the singer futura....actually its the singer quartet.....its an amazing machine....I got it because it does embroidery...but it also quilts and does regular sewing.......it comes with loads of software.....you get hyperfonts, autopunch, and photopunch......the embroidery is fantastic...you get 2 frames.....one is 5-7 and the big one is 10-15.....I got it last oct on hsn.....and they have it again this year and added another feature for the embroidery which is editing your designs....you get like 350 designs when you get the machine...the best part of this embroidery machine is you can use any machines that are out there....the designs are compatible with the singer...the auto bobbin winder is another feature while your sewing if you run out you simply use the auto bobbin winder.....the machine has a large area for quilting not mention the light omg its so bright you wont have to have lights all over the place....anyways good luck buying your embroidery machine...almost forgot the cost $799.00 so it was a good price for sure.....hope this has helped you in some way.....Trish
