I have one that looks just like that but in a cabinet. I think they are a 15-185 (someone correct me, if I'm wrong) and you use the manual for the model 15. Sews great. Got mine in the cabinet at a thrift shop for less than $10

I found that when searching for the singer 500 service manual.

It is jpg (photo) files but you can expand each page and print it or save it to file. :)
Good job! what's not to love about FREE service manuals!!!
I'll book mark that one too. But I'm still looking for a free 500 service manual on pdf. 'oD

it's a doohinky thing of a mabbob - I have one too - don't know how to use it.
I think I need a tutorial for attachments - looks like something to use for a hem maybe.

Thank you. I have a Singer 15-91 with its manual. The seller is asking over $100. Not sure yet, but I really do like the looks of it.

Do you have yours on here with its photos? :-D

According to a neat booklet I have called "Short Cuts to Home Sewing" published by Singer in 1926, it is a "tucker". IT says "the tucker gauges the width of the tuck and while one tuck is being stitched the mark for the next tuck is being made."

This book has pictures of all the attachments and tells how to use them. There are five pages on how to use the tucker!

It is a tucker - you can use it to make pin tucks.

Hi Becky ~ It's a Tucker :)

Here is a website for more information.

Make sure to scroll down past the red fabric photo and you can access quite a bit of info on all types of attachments.

Happy reading :)
