I have a Singer Futura CE-200. It is my first embroidery machine and I am very pleased. It was low-cost, mainly because it does not have a computer on board. You hook it to your computer and it will stitch what is on the screen. It was very easy for me to learn, and the software will convert designs in many formats. This allows you to download a lot of free designs from the internet. The main disadvantage is the size of the hoops. The largest one has a stitch area of about 5" X 7". This means in large designs you have to re-hoop. Hope this helps.

Hi, I have used several embroidery machines but it really depends on your preference. I would recommend either attending one of the shows such as the ones at the NEC/London/Glasgows. You will have the chance to walk around the singer/brother/Husq etc stalls and talk about what you want. Or visit a good machine shop where they will demonstrate the machines and let you try them.
