What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing describes both battery and USB power, but the included-components field names only the machine while a feature claim lists a USB cable and accessories. Confirm the selected listing's package contents. Four AA batteries are explicitly not included, and the USB cable requires your own USB charger. The listing also says the machine is factory-threaded and includes test fabric, and that no storage bag is supplied. Use a flat table for more stable stitching.
