This is the Hug+ yarn sewing machine, safe for children. I bought it for my daughter, but it has only been opened and never used, and has been stored at home. It operates on 4 AA batteries. Please provide the batteries yourself. [From the manufacturer's website] The authentic sewing machine, the Hug+ yarn sewing machine, is here! It features a new mechanism that allows you to set yarn and connect various fabrics. No need for troublesome threading, setting the bobbin, threading the needle, or adjusting the thread tension; it's easy to use whenever you want. It's a convenient size and weight that can be easily carried with one hand anywhere. Felt can be connected without thread by tangling the fibers. The presser foot height is a safe design that only allows a maximum of 4mm to prevent children's fingers from entering. Batteries used: AA x 4 (sold separately) (Compatible with the "Yarn Sewing Machine Hug+ Adapter" sold separately) [Set Contents] 5 needles, 3 yarn balls (chunky: pink, yellow, white), kit (mascot rosette, cotton, mascot character), embroidery patterns, templates, instruction manual
