A technical explanation of why you don't want this September 10, 2007
6 out of 6 found this review helpful

My wife bought one of the CE-100s and after she couldn't get it running she turned it over to me, her resident tech-head with a PhD in computer science, to get the thing running. In the end it never ran at all.

My conclusion is that a pack of wolves could write better software and manuals. First you will find that the manual and install card give exactly opposite instructions on the order in which to plug in the USB and install the software (a critical detail for testy installs). After multiple installs using multiple clean machines I determined the correct order and was able to get the USB recognized. I visited a half-dozen forums and used every trick out there.

Ultimately it was all for nothing. The machine never did anything but light up and blink red all over - indicating error. The manual has a helpful list of error codes and tells you what to do based on the error code displayed.

Big problem: there is no error display! You will never know what error the machine thinks it has!

I tried methodically restarting, refreshing, and then undergoing the corrective actions for every possible error on the list - all to absolutely no effect. Ultimately I believe the problem is probably an internal mechanical one. I think the mix of "1" ratings with normal ratings is the luck of the draw whether you get a working machine or not, and the odds look to be below 50%.

Learning curve is pretty steep, but once you get it, YOU GET IT! April 29, 2007

I admit to a little bit of frustration when I first got going on this machine. But patience paid off and now I LOVE it. Not only does it perform beautifully as a sewing machine, but it also embroiders like a pro. Really. I still have lot to learn, but I hate to see this machine being dissed by so many people. It is a Greta machine; just take your time and RTFM! (Read the freaking manual).

Terrible machine for embroidery. I have replaced most of the moving parts for the embroidery feature and it still won't work right. Do Not Buy This Machine if you are looking for an embroidery machine.

I bought this ready to do a lot of things with it. I haven't been able to sew one thing. You have to use it with the laptop at all times or it will complain with an annoying beep again and again. I tried to sew a light material curtain with it the needle poked at the bobbin holder and now I can never use it again. I have to get it repaired because I am unable to find a replacement part for it where I have looked. Offers a lot of options and I am sure once its repaired if ever I will eventually get to sew one thing.

This machine is the greatest...... January 30, 2007

but, I admit that I had a couple of hours of frustration with the Autopunch. Then after finally listening to my mother, who by the way is ALWAYS right, I got online and looked up the support information, downloaded the patch, (which you need to save on your computer because you have to run it each time you shut down your computer) and eureka it worked!!! I have been sewing the most amazing things every since. I also joined a group of other Futura enthusiast on yahoo and have been very pleased with all of their help. For the money you can not beat this machine.
