I just got a Singer Futura 150 and took it out of the box yesterday.?

December 7th, 2012 Leave a comment Go to comments

I’ve had other Singer machines but this is the first embroidery machine. (I’ve never even done hand embroidery.) I can’t seem to find any classes in my area. Any tips or clues on getting started?? Any books or websites to look into??

welcome to the wonderful world of machine embroidery. first you need to read your manual, you won’t necessarily understand everything in there but read it anyway, it is going to make sense very soon. there are soooooooo many yahoo groups devoted to machine embroidery. the people there are so very helpful. i will give you a few to get started.

    you can also check out your local library or book store. They have a lot on sewing.

    sounds like you are going to be having a lot of fun. Wish I had one,

    I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, I HAD LOTS OF QUESTIONS AND WENT RIGHT TO THE SING WEBSITE AND GOT ALL MY QUESTIONS ANSWERED. IT TOOK A FEW DAYS TO GET A RESPONSE, BUT ALL THE THINGS THEY TOLD ME TO DO WORKED LIKE A CHARM. I LOVE MY MACHINE AND DON’T KNOW HOW I EVER LIVED WITH OUT IT.
