Singer Futura sewing machine with embroidery
Grace bought a second hand high-tech sewing machine on 8 June 2020, the Singer Futura CE-250 for $590 (including transport). This machine is about 10 years old, but very lightly used by the previous owner. The original listed price was US$900. It comes with an embroidery attachment, but it needs a computer to run the software.
The seller threw in some goodies like scissors, threads, and accessories. Also came with 2 DVDs of Singer software.
Trying it out for the first time.
Many stitching patterns and even automatic button hole.
Trying out embroidery, using Esther’s old laptop. The software runs on Windows 7, needed to set compatibility backwards to make the software work.
Using a built-in clip-art, success!
Then we got adventurous and downloaded a picture of Totoro, and programmed it for embroidery
Successful, too!
Grace ordered some embroidery thread from Carousell sellers, and they arrived really fast (like the very next day).
Made a KTP logo onto the SJ issued mask.
Some fun stuff we made:
The phoenix for Joseph looks very nice, you can see the details.
This machine now replaced the basic sewing machine that Grace had been using.
