Where can you get this machine? Thank you for sharing such beautiful work!

[@britwhit2002]

I'm guessing you can add a felting needle to any sewing machine, correct? Where do you buy one?

[@ellieminnow]

This is EXACTLY what I'm trying to find out as well.

No. You have to have a special machine. It is called an Embellisher. Janome and Baby lock make them some of them have more special barb needles. Mine has 10 the least I think 3 to 5 needles. Mine cost about 350.00 USA dollars several yrs ago. In England they call it bashing instead of embellishing I've heard.
