I find that the cards are easy to locate on e-bay and are not as pricey as some of the other machines.  It does not require a special needle, it uses a standard size 14 needle, which is less expensive to use than the machines that require embroidery needles.</p><p>The directions are easy to follow both in the book and on the machine.</p><p>The threader makes it east to thread the needle.</p><p>Additional hoops can be bought and used with this machine</p>...
