Are singer parts, interchangeale with other brands? For instance if a machine doesn't have a bobbin case or bobbin? or throat plate or throat plate extension, etc.
Nothing will interchange from Singer to any other machine that I know of. Even the screws for the Singers were proprietary. Your only hope is to find several machines like each other so you can use them for parts or find one that is functionable.

What about singer to singer. . Where could I find info to tell me which Singer parts are interchangeable with which machines?
Also, have you done the tutorial using the 500A yet, and what is it called, so I can view it? Thanx
