Singer CE250 Embroidery and Sewing Machine

I am waiting until I get a new sewing machine to make any new projects. I found an excellent deal on a Singer CE250 fully loaded with extras for a better price than at Joann's. Basically, I will be getting over $1500 of free embroidery software to go with it, plus $126 of free products such as thread, stabilizers, and scissors. With my $100 off coupon, I will be getting the machine and all the freebies for $900, which is the normal cost for the machine alone. I am really excited about getting started with embroidery. I can get creative and make some really cool things. I've been dreaming about this all week since I found the machine.



First I was going to get the Brother SE350 for $380 at WalMart, but then I found out that in order to download new designs, I would have to spend $130. All the designs inside the machine are copyrighted, so I would not be able to use them on things that I plan on selling. Then in order to make any image, such as clipart or a photograph of my own, I would have to purchase software that costs $800. Even if I were to get the off-brand of that software, it would be expensive. I think it was about $300 for the basic software, then an additional $50 for each "add-on" such as creating embroidery from your own font or clipart, etc. So by the time I bought everything for it, It would have been more than the Singer that I found later.


The Singer has a usb port to hook up directly with my computer, so I can download any design onto the machine. It also comes with the software to create my own image out of whatever I want (which is normally included with the Singer CE250, but not the CE150). The software that is included with this great package that I found, allows me to use font from my computer to make my designs, convert any image to cross-stitch, convert photographs into embroidery, edit and design my own designs, and has 3900 designs that I can use that are not copyrighted, so I can use them on anything that I sell (I contacted Singer to find this out for sure). Any image I get from Singer is not copyrighted.
I'm just so excited!

Presser Feet Custom Organizer Tutorial

Image
Several years ago I purchased a bunch of presser feet and made my own custom organizer.  You can read about it here .  After a while, I realized I wasn't using many of the presser feet, so I decided to sell the ones I didn't use.  Then I created a new organizer, which is smaller and more easily fits into my desk drawer.  Here's a step-by-step guide how to make your own.... Materials Storage Container with compartments Magic Erasers Scissors Ruler Pen Double-sided Tape First measure the compartment size.  If you are computer savvy, you can create your own spreadsheet using the measurements, and customizing it with your presser feet.  Or you can download the one I made here: pdf ms works Then cut out the magic erasers to fit the compartments.  I didn't need them for each compartment since some of my feet are pretty large. Then print out 3 sheets.  You will cut one, and use the other two for the lid of your organizer. Place the cut labels inside the ...

The Difference Between Class 15 and 15J Bobbins and Why You Should NOT Use Them Interchangeably

Image
Backstory For the past week I've been reattaching all my photos to each of my posts on some of my blogs due to losing all my photos when I deleted my main account (read about it here .)  I ran across the Singer sewing machine reviews that I had done--mainly the Singer 9960 Quantum Stylist --my all-time FAVORITE sewing machine!  I had sold it (along with my Futura XL-400 ) 5 years ago and purchased a Singer Futura XL-580 instead.  (I figured I could sell two machines and just use one, so I wouldn't be using up so much space in my bedroom.)   Since the day I sold it, I've regretted it.  I loved that machine.  A while back when I had checked to see if they still made them, I found it had been discontinued.  I was just curious so I looked again and was surprised that they started making them again!  On sale for $500 on singer.com .  So since I had sold mine on facebook marketplace years ago, I was just curious if someone was selling theirs....

42 Presser Feet Guide

42 Presser Feet Guide What is included and what do they do ? Most presser feet cost $5 and up.  There’s a couple big kits with loads of presser feet on the market that are a lot more affordable.  There are many different variations of the kits , as well as different sizes. I purchased the 42-piece kit .  The box reminds me of a box of chocolates. Of course I had to make my own custom organizer: I searched on other websites for a complete list for what was what and their uses.  I couldn’t find any.  So…. I went through piece-by-piece and compiled a convienent list with photos, uses, and videos (also available on PDF ). They are in order from top let to bottom right of the box.
