Thrilled with it. Threading is slightly trickier than other machines I’ve used but overall the machine is great. It’s pretty quiet while sewing, which I love. Have already made multiple items and it works like a dream. Highly recommend.

I had gone through 2 brand new Singer sewing machines in about 3 years that were labeled heavy duty. When I purchased this machine, I could see immediately that it was a heavier machine. It just went through layers like butter. I think this is going to hold up much better.

I am glad I decided to buy the Singer Classic HD500. Love it's retro look!More importantly, it is really easy to thread, and winding the bobbin was a breeze. I have not had problems with thread breaking like some have mentioned.. And the foot pedal works well and has a wide range from barely moving to high speed and it handles the fabric well at both speeds. This machine is much quieter than any others I have, too. While the outside body is plastic, the inside is metal and it is heavy so it stays put when sewing.Folks have mentioned the inconvenience of not having a full manual shipped with the machine. Some have mentioned they had to pay for it, but it is readily available on Singer's website at no cost.. Since I can't include the link in my review, maybe Amazon should have one in the listing?Singer has created the imprint of a ruler at the bottom front of the machine, which would be helpful if you could actually read it. It could be much improved if it were enhanced with gold metallic paint to match the rest of the machine. That is what I did and it is much more usable. I've included photos of before and after to see how it turned out for me.

The body of this machine is plastic. The included cover is a cheap gray gauze-like material. The presser foot lever is even plastic! I figured it would be plastic, but I expected better quality of plastic. You can kind of see in my photo warps around the seam on the machine bed. I knew the manual was online before purchase, but was pleasantly surprised that it came with bobbin winding & needle threading instructions. I do wish it did come with a manual.Winding the bobbin, threading, and inserting the bobbin were all simple & easy. I like the clear cover on the bobbin so I can see when the thread is running out. The needle threader is great! ðŸ‘I also like the built-in storage. Missed that in a sewing machine. Stitches nice and runs alright. Sewing through some layers of fabric and batting caused banging on my kitchen table. 😕👎 I had to put a folded up towel under it. Compared to my 26 year old Bernina it runs loud.I don't mind that you can't see the ruler as I never use the one on the machine front, but it is hard to see some of the stitches on the knob of you don't have great light.Most of the functions on this are straightforward and easy to remember. Things are labeled and there are arrows indicating what direction things go in, which is helpful.  I bought a 1/4 inch presser foot as the line on the bobbin case was a bit hard to see when sewing, and extra bobbins.Pretty basic sewing machine with some extra fancy stitches. Runs and stitches well enough. Pretty light. Easy to pick up and move.

If you have ever wondered what it was like to throw a sewing machine across the room-I would suggest this model. The needle threading is a joke. It constantly has an issue with the thread. It was a great concept but not great in application. This is maddening and I hope Singer sees this and they have as much grief as I have experienced sewing with it.

This is my first sewing machine and absolutely love it. Very solid and built to last. Love that they kept tradition with traditional color scheme and all metal interior. Definitely recommend.

This is a very basic machine. I would judge to be a beginner machine. It seems to have a problem with the thread catching under the machine if you do not hold the thread when starting to sew. Also, the space between the table and under side of the machine is so short that it is hard to fit your fist under the machine to thread it. I have a small woman’s hand. It does sew well through heavy layers of cloth, if you are careful not to put any pressure on the cloth. Another issue is that the thread gets caught on the outside trim of the machine and breaks, if you are not careful to watch it. It is the gold trim near the area where the thread goes through the swinging arm.It is an easy machine to figure out and very user friendly. I would not choose this machine again. I bought it for a spare machine to travel on the road in an RV. I have had many Singer machines in the past that I have used for years. This machine is good for small projects.

This is a good sewing machine, reminds me of the old Singers. Somebody else posted negative feedback about the length of the Owner's Manual and yes, it is long at 102 pages, but you don't need to print the entire document, just the 30 pages for using the machine. I printed 30 pages, double-sided on 15 pieces of paper.
