I'll be watching this thread also i love my futura i have the SES2000.... i wish i had 2 of them the big problem is when the embroidery unit is on i have to sew on something else the newest futura does have a larger hoop but i am with you on wanting to upgrade for the larger sewing area with flex pay at HSN I could get my 2nd futura much sooner than i could buy the more expensive brand what i would hate to give up on my futura is using all the formats
i have all the extras photostitch, autopunch etc
i ? going back to buying memory cards & disk like i have to for my brother. as far as i know the singer is the only one that works on all formats but when i see all the sewing programs on public TV those machines make my little futura look like a toy
so i'll be watching this to see what the others say.
I hope you find what you are looking for and keep us posted
