I have the singer futura 150. I enjoy embroidering on it, but with the problems I have had wouldn't recomend it for purchase. The bobbin case is so difficult to get in right after cleaning. I have had fits trying to get it correct, had to have help twice (luckily my sil has experience with a brother machine but she lives over 2 hours away). I did kitchen towels for friends this year, pillow cases for grand kids, bath towels for my house. I have had fun.
