SINGER Heavy Duty 500 Classic Sewing Machine with Accessory Kit | Strong Motor with Enhanced Piercing Power, 23 Built-In Stitches, Full Metal frame, 1-step Buttonhole & LED Light

Beautiful, light weight, hums like a top. Sews heavy upholstery fabric no issues.

I am glad I decided to buy the Singer Classic HD500. Love it's retro look!More importantly, it is really easy to thread, and winding the bobbin was a breeze. I have not had problems with thread breaking like some have mentioned.. And the foot pedal works well and has a wide range from barely moving to high speed and it handles the fabric well at both speeds. This machine is much quieter than any others I have, too. While the outside body is plastic, the inside is metal and it is heavy so it stays put when sewing.Folks have mentioned the inconvenience of not having a full manual shipped with the machine. Some have mentioned they had to pay for it, but it is readily available on Singer's website at no cost.. Since I can't include the link in my review, maybe Amazon should have one in the listing?Singer has created the imprint of a ruler at the bottom front of the machine, which would be helpful if you could actually read it. It could be much improved if it were enhanced with gold metallic paint to match the rest of the machine. That is what I did and it is much more usable. I've included photos of before and after to see how it turned out for me.

I just used it to hem a couple pairs of jeans and it did not end up breaking like my previous sewing machine. I had previously bought two before this one and this has been the one that has functioned perfectly and makes very little noise.

Absolutely worth every penny! Super quiet I have 3 younger children and I love that I can continue projects while the are napping in the same room! Also love that it came with everything I needed! The quality is everything you could ask for as a seem stress and super easy to use for beginners and comes with easy to follow user guides! Mention is on point too!

This is a very basic machine. I would judge to be a beginner machine. It seems to have a problem with the thread catching under the machine if you do not hold the thread when starting to sew. Also, the space between the table and under side of the machine is so short that it is hard to fit your fist under the machine to thread it. I have a small woman’s hand. It does sew well through heavy layers of cloth, if you are careful not to put any pressure on the cloth. Another issue is that the thread gets caught on the outside trim of the machine and breaks, if you are not careful to watch it. It is the gold trim near the area where the thread goes through the swinging arm.It is an easy machine to figure out and very user friendly.I would not choose this machine again. I bought it for a spare machine to travel on the road in an RV. I have had many Singer machines in the past that I have used for years. This machine is good for small projects.

I love this ! Because I leave the sewing machine set up at all times, it serves also serves as part of my nostalgic room decor. I am a remedial seamstress so I am not qualified to address the more advance features that a seasoned designer would look for, but for my needs, it’s a win!

The media could not be loaded. To cheap very loud. Ragged stitches 🧵

It works perfectly fine. Nice build and light weight. Also not too loud for a machine and also arrived fast. Love it.
