Unfortunately, unless you go to an industrial machine, all the domestic ones only have one needle - one colour. I had a Innov-is 4500D, which was an awesome machine with lots of bells and whistles, but, it only had one needle - one colour at a time. I traded it for a Janome 10000, only because I'm a Janome fan, the Innov-is was a lovely machine. I had paid alittle over $8000.00 for it when it first came out, it had many designs all ready on it, including lots of Disney and my grandchildren were younger, so they got lots of Disney stuff. Anyway I'm wandering here...if you want more than one needle - one colour at a time, you have to go to the industrial version.
