This machine has been used 6 times since I took it out of the box.(once to test the embroidery, and 5 times to sew on boy scout badges. I bought it thinking I would do some projects, but with three young boys no luck. The manuals and software have not even been opened. You will get everything that came with machine when I purchased it new(I paid 899.00). The styrofoam for the shipping is stained because it was in the attic when the hurricane hit, and the attic got a little wet. The machine is in perfect working order and has been sitting on my sewing table covered with a blanket for its short stay in my home ( A smokefree home).  Thank you for looking.
