Bummer about the needle. I can't get the needles I like locally so I tend to order a bunch so I'll never run out (hopefully).
I did it with the machine - used that heat n' bond stuff and then satin stitched around the edges. It was kinda hard to get used to (especially the corners and stuff), but I found it rather enjoyable. A nice change of pace for sure.
As far as broken needles go, I suppose it comes with the territory. :D
