New Machin
 

I have A Singer CE-100 which has served me well. I recently had to purchase a new computer which runs Windows 10. The CE-100 doesn't work with Windows 19. So I guess I'll have to purchase a new machine. I've been looking at getting another Singer, not sure which one; but have seen the Brother 800. Does anyone have this machine? And if some one does have it, is it a good machine? I don't mind an embroidery only machine, but an affordable sewing embroidery machine is not off the table. Thank you, in advance, for your input:confused:.

What are you using the computer for with the embroidery machine? Design transfer?

Most machines can use the USB for design transfer.

When I upgraded from WP to Win7, my design software was not compatible and I had to upgrade, including the card that goes in my [1980's] machine. I only wish I had a machine that takes USB!

My brothers machines which are now considered older used a different 'card' system. Not a USB. Brothers has a proprietary software and card but there was a card reader and software that could read/write that fit the machine. I could not get the Brother's software to work with windows 10 but could get the little Max to work with my machines so that is what I am using now. I also have a great software package, digitizer software, that allows me to not only compose my own designs but edit others. Between the 2 I have been able to keep the embroidery functions of my older brothers machines working just fine. Brothers has an inexpensive machine that is available at Walmart that now uses a USB port for importing designs. Just depends on what you are using your machine for. It is a great little model for regular sewing too.

What software are you using? Thanks

what is your budget for the new machine?

The program that the machines runs is Futura. I can only use the USB connected to the computer. It is a sewing/embroidery machine, but uses my computer to build and send the images that are to be embroidered/

I'm looking at the Brother PE-800. Not sure how much it runs, but that's what I have been looking at.

Juliasb, what is the model of the machine you're talking about. I'll take a look at that one too.
