I have the second upgrade. It was originally $800. My Brother dealer sold it for $400. The workbook is extra at a cost of $250. I was told you could not watch them on your machine. The manual for the new upgrade is 3 pages, that should give you an idea of what you are getting. It is not worth the money esp at its original price. Its a few new designs. The first upgrade was worth it for the 9.5 in hoop.
