Used item, no sun discoloration. Can be shipped with the current sample stitching and thread uncut. The date on the newspaper indicates the day it was used for sample stitching. The cover at the location circled in yellow in the 10th photo is missing, but personally, I find it easier to sew without it. The items included are the main unit, foot controller, instruction manual, spare needles, and the sample stitching thread (5 items total). Shipping will be closed from December 31st to January 3rd for the New Year's holiday. Thank you for viewing.
