no money needed. I simply used a piece of unwashed fabric and polished mine. Slick as can be! If you haven't noticed fabric is really dirty before washing. It takes a little elbow grease but it really works. Maybe its the sizing in it or what ever but it sured shows up on my quilting gloves ...This I did not know until I started using white quilting gloves when fmq.

I recently bought the same machine. So far I love it.
