My mom gave it to me in 1964 for high school graduation, so cannot get rid of it for a new one and it already does most everything. Recently acquired a quilting foot so now can do free motion quilting. I love it!!
First I want to say welcome to the QB, I hope what I'm about to say doesn't put you off here. The 500 was made in Anderson, SC not in Germany, and it's not the last steel geared Singer. The Rocketeer is a great machine.
