I bought the machine for my daughter. However, I do know she purchases her machine needles at JoAnn's Fabrics and from Nancy's Notions, a mail order source.

Machine is per threaded with white. Needles included. You will need to purchase more spools of the colors you need. The machine is prethreaded so you can tie your new thread on and it feeds through - no need to thread yourself. Joanne's fabrics has two different quality of threads ranging from $1.00 to a better quality 3-4$. Hope this helps!

I'm not familiar with your machine but sewing machine needles are pretty universal.

I just purchased this machine and one of the selling points was the needle threader! I have NEVER been able to use a threader on any machine I've owned. I tried it in the store and the first time it threaded like a charm! And it has worked ever since. I LOVE the needle threader on my Juki!

I'm not sure. I have a Janome MC9500 and they work flawlessly. My only complaint is that sometimes it is hard to find that little stick out of thread to get the bobbin started.

this machine comes with a zigzag foot, buttonhole foot, overcasting foot, monogramming foot, zipper foot, blind stitch foot and a button fitting foot and it comes with twin needles. But you can't use all types of bobbins in the machine. You have to get the ones they recommend for it. It's worth the investment.

That I don't know, however there should be some videos about that on youtube. I would look there or at the website that is listed on the knitting machine box.

You can purchase the walking foot specific for this machine through your certified Janome dealer. You can get a list of dealers in your area and on Amazon by going to Janome's website or Janome's Facebook page. The walking foot does not come included with this machine and yes it can sew through leather but you will need a heavy duty needle. This machine takes Schmetz and Organ and Janome needles. Does not take Singer or Brother needles.

Your owners manual, page 39, gives specs on the recommended needles. Embroidery they recommend size 75/11. You can use any brand, as long as they are specifically for home sewing machines (back of the post is flat) These needles are correct, but I did not like the quality, they broke frequently and had rough spots that caused the thread to fray and fabric to pucker and run. Also their ad is misleading, the price is for only 10 needles, even though the picture shows a 500 pack The Organ brand in the gray pack are a much better quality: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0042B9K2C/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Organ needles are what are installed in the machine when you bought it. There are many sizes and both sharps and ball-point needles. Use the size by what material you are using. For machine embroidery, I use the 75/11 embroidery needles by Organ. These have a longer eye, and help to not shred the thread, which commonly makes the thread break. You can use other needles, but these seem to work the best for me.

thanks for your message. The needles can be ordered from following link: http://www.amazon.com/Project-Beauty-Freckles-Removal-Straight/dp/B00KHQOSBY/ref=sr_1_13?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1402387184&sr=1-13 It is way much cheaper for bulk purchase. 50 needles, US$100 Thankyou

I just got this machine and set it up last night. It was delivered with 4 regular-sized spools of thread with not much thread on the spools. Already threaded. I will tie new threads on to each as suggested and use the hand wheel to advance them through the needles. I was forewarned not to let the thread run out so I don't have to rethread. (Though looking at it, it's clear where the threads go and perhaps it's not that difficult on this machine? Time will tell, I'm sure.) I'm a little worried the delivered spools will run out quickly, so haven't run the serger yet -- will install new spools before trying. Order thread or buy it before the serger is delivered. (Someone on a diff question suggested one site to buy. Hancock's has Maxi-lock on sale these two weeks.) Remember you need 4 spools to run full - that will be 4 white spools at a time, for instance! Even on sale it adds up! I did read that one can even use a bobbin for small jobs; that a bobbin would hold enough thread for perhaps one small tee? There's something called a Bob'n Serge - a little tray with small pins for 5 bobbins that fits on one of the pins. Mixed reviews, found 2 who really love it, some who said why bother. If you're only serging a little, makes sense. I also saw an expert who piggy backs sequential bobbins without cutting the thread between? Lots to explore. HTH.

I'm not familiar with a lot of different machines. I have a Janome 2212 which is a very basic model and it works well with it. I used to have my grandmother's singer and this walking foot worked well with it also. Seems to be pretty versatile. HTH

Any company that sells industrial needles for the Tiara machine should sell them

You will be able to a compatable table at JANOME.COM. Janome is a very high end brand. I purchased this one for my 22 yr old daughter. I have a Janome. I have an Aunt that has 3. Great Machine!

$6.00 is for one pack of 5 needles. I do not always buy the needle with the machine name. I use Singer & Universal on my Brother, Singer, & Janome. Just FYI you can look on Craftsy, How to choose Sewing Needles: I know you did not ask for the info, however it could be useful. Hope this helps.
