I love just about everything about it................
- Its quite. The quietest sewing machine I've EVER used
- The stitch quality is absolutely amazing
- The drop in bobbin is ultra simple to use
- The light actually lights up the whole work area, not just the needle (what a bonus!)
- The button hole attachement I just bought make fantastic button holes with ease
- It has loads of built in stitches
- Stitch selection guide conveniently located in hinged lid of machine
- Multi position needle, not just left and center.
- It has drop in cams for even more decorative stitches
- Did I mention it was QUIET lol
- Adjustable presser foot pressure
- Its double needle capable (2 seperate needles at same time) or you can use a twin needle
- Threading guide located inside hinged nose plate.. super convenient
- It sews anything I put under the presser foot. On my other machine I have trouble sewing elastic. The singer 500a loves it.
- There are oodles of extra gadgets to add to it, including a really great ruffler/pleater and a monogramer (I can feel my credt card melting as I type lol)
- Its just an absolutely beautiful machine to look at.
The only thing I've found so far that I DONT like is the rather strange foot peddle. It isnt like the standard peddles you get with modern sewing machines, infact, in all my years of sewing I havent seen one like it. Its the same sort of shape as a regular peddle, but instead of the whole of the top going down when you press your foot on it there is just a big button on the peddle that you press with the ball of your foot........ its a strange to say the least, and I cannot deny I much prefer the conventional peddle..... ahhh well.... if thats the only fault this amazing singer 500a has then I dont have much to complain about :)
