I don't know about the 500s, but it seems a 347 might be. If that's true, a generic foot will not fit - only a slant needle one. I get my parts from April1930s shop, but sew-classic and others have them, too. Look at this schematic and see which one looks like your machine. It is not a high shank, for sure.

My LQS sells the guide and screw for $4.95. I like it, though it's a bother to swing out of the way when a seam is wider that 1/4".
Mine is a Low Shank according to the diagram. So would a generic foot work?
I found a local quilting store but they are closed until Tuesday; they were redecorating over the holidays. But I hope to visit them sometime this week, if possible. And I do have a JoAnn's close too.
