Hi Christine,
I'm sorry I have very little experience with the Toyota machines.  Have you tried locating a Toyota-specific forum online?

I do have an older Toyota 858.  It also has 12 stitch punchcard mechanism.  It came with a hole punch device that looks like a standard office type hole punch, but you can adjust 12 buttons to create and punch your pattern. (Sorry I don't have a photo)

If you can't find pre-punched cards online, You'll need to locate blank cards made specifically for your machine, get a hole puncher. You can then adapt many of the stitch patterns you find available for 24 stitch machines.

Wish I could help more, but again, I have very little experience with these machines.
