It is close to $100 for the extra head - either the 7 needle or the 12 needle head. But I paid more than that for the Walking Foot for my sewing machine so I look at it as another part for my art. The replacement needles are very expensive so I recommend getting them from Denise at www.tryourdesigns.com where you can buy them in packages or in bulk. I hope this helps,
