Futura™
Model CE-250
Features and Benefits
General Features:
NEW:
Three Stay-Bright™ LED Lights
Three lights over the sewing area
address a feature asked
for by consumers - better lighting!
With lights on each side
of the needle area as well as one
light over the large surface
to the right of the needle, it is
easier to see your work.
An illuminated sewing area makes all
your sewing more
precise. Sewing is also more
pleasurable because the well
lighted sewing area reduces
eye-stain often caused by
working in low lighting.
Automatic Needle Threader
Effortless threading of the machine,
including automatic
threading of the eye of the needle!
Automatic Tension This system
ensures stable stitch quality,
whatever the type of fabric being
used.
Top Loading Jam-Proof
Bobbin System with Clear Cover
This mechanism incorporates a
rotating hook that ensures
smooth, quiet jam-proof sewing. The
bobbin loads from the
top so it is easy to insert the
bobbin. The clear cover
makes it effortless to monitor the
bobbin thread supply.
Optimum Power Control The Optimum
Power Control provides precise piercing power when sewing multiple layers or
dense fabric. The
piercing power is the same
regardless of sewing speed.
Drop Feed A conveniently located
lever will lower the feed dogs for
free-motion embroidery, machine
embroidery, monograms and attaching buttons.
Extra-High Presser Foot Lifter There
are two heights to the presser foot lifter. The second height offers a ¼” more
clearance which is needed
when placing multiple layers or
bulky fabrics under the presser foot.
Vertical Spool Holder In addition to
the machine’s horizontal thread delivery, a second vertical spool holder is
provided at the back of the
machine, specially designed for many
of today’s threads.
Self-Lubricating Because the machine
is permanently lubricated, there is no need to oil the machine, and no oil gets
on fabric.
Warning Signals Audible warning
messages alert the sewer, ensuring
trouble-free sewing.
Aluminum Frame The internal skeleton
of the sewing machine. This rigid
support holds all the mechanisms in
perfect alignment for perfect, skip-free sewing.
NEW:
Redesigned Accessory Tray
The machine’s accessories are stored
in the Removable
Extension table. The covers for the
accessory compartments
have been redesigned as hinged
covers, rather than
removable lids. The covers are more
secure and won’t be misplaced.
Warranty Futura has a 25 year
limited warranty, including 5 years on
electronic components and 1 year on
adjustments.
Consumer’s Choice More sewers own
SINGER® sewing machines than all
other brands combined.* (* Source:
Market Facts, March 2002)
Sewing Machine Features:
Electronic Sewing Machine Sewing
machine has push button stitch selection. This means that the optimal settings
for length and width are
automatically set when choosing a
stitch. They can be
overridden to personalize length and
width choice.
100 Built-In Stitch Programs
A large variety of stitches for
construction, decorative
sewing, heirloom sewing and quilting
always ensures the
perfect stitch for every project.
Built-In Stretch Stitches Specially
designed stitches that add strength and flexibility to seams, especially useful
when sewing on knitwear.
Basting Capability Quickly piece
projects together.
Built-In Quilting Stitch Create a
hand-sewn quilted look with this unique stitch.
NEW:
Twin Needle Function
Automatically reduces the stitch
width on decorative
patterns to prevent needle breakage
when sewing with a
twin needle.
Built-In Heirloom-Friendly Stitch
Selection
Pin Stitch, Blanket Stitch, and
Entredeux are a few of the
popular heirloom stitches available.
7mm Stitch Width Most stitches can
be set for a maximum width of 7mm.
When sewing decorative stitches or
satin stitches, the wide
stitches are bolder and more
pronounced.
One-Step Built-In Buttonholes Choose
from 4 different one-step buttonholes. Buttonhole sewing is a one-step simple
process that provides reliable results because the sides of the buttonhole sew
the same
direction to prevent gaps in
stitching or fabric distortion.
NEW:
Exclusive Buttonhole Underplate
This is a SINGER® developed system
that sandwiches fabric
between a lower plate and the foot,
to ensure perfect
buttonholes on multiple layers of
fabric. Effectively, this is
like a mini-embroidery hoop in which
the machine feeds
the attachment, rather than the
fabric. It makes creating
buttonholes possible in places that
conventional buttonhole
devices cannot easily reach.
NEW:
Programmable Needle Up and
Down
Select whether the needle is in up
or down position when
the machine stops. It is beneficial
to have the needle stop
in the down position when
appliquéing, quilting or pivoting
fabric. When removing fabric or
picking the bobbin thread
up, program the needle to raise to
the highest position.
13 Needle Positions Needle position
can be changed for individual projects, such as inserting zippers or cording and
topstitching.
Embroidery Features:
Connects Directly to the Computer
via USB Cable
First machine to connect directly to
the computer,
eliminating the need for conversion
boxes or tools. This
unique innovation gives you the same
capabilities of other
machines at a fraction of the cost.
Windows® Compatible Operates with
any computer with an Operating System of Windows® 2000 or higher, including
Vista®.
