Make sure they include the zig zag disk and any others you can get your hands on.
Miriam, could you explain this? I've read this and I don't understand why the 503 and 403 would have better stitch width control. How are the 500 and 401 different in the stitch width area? Thanks.
And the 603 - I missed the 503 :( (Someone has snatched it up fast!) , but there is a 603 listed (and I know they can do a chain stitch, which I think is pretty cool.) But, I had the exact same question last night - and what is the difference between the 403, 503 and 603s?
The 603 has the dad gum bobbin winder in the bobbin holder - makes you swear - other than that it might be ok.
