You are so lucky! The Rose is a great machine - I have had mine for 14 years and I love it. The Rose was still manufactured in Sweden and is a very good quality machine. From what I understand, the designs can be customized using the "Amazing Magic Box" but I haven't tried that yet. I think you can buy design cards on ebay. Also, I think the manual is available online (not sure where). The Rose is also known as the Husqvarna Viking Model 600. Good Luck!
