I am selling this item because it was not what my child wanted. First, cut out the item you want to make along the cut lines on the back of the included "fabric"! Once you set the thread cartridge in the fashion studio, sew along the "sewing lines" printed on the fabric★ When you're done sewing, just slide the "thread cutter lever" and cut the thread with scissors, so even beginners can easily enjoy it♪ Uses 4 AA alkaline batteries (batteries sold separately). Package weight: 0.82 kg Takara Tomy Real Sewing Machine Fashion Studio
