I have a 500a, but she hasn't been working right :-( I use to use her daily, but she is skipping stitches and I don't know why. I have tried everything I can think of....short of taking her to a repair shop (which I just can't afford).
Enjoy your machine!!!!!!

I just bought a 500a, this past week from Craigslist!!!! This particular kind of machine has been on my "wishlist" ever since I saw a picture of one.
It came in a cabinet that isn't too ugly, has instructions and the cams. I paid $75.00. Not sure if that is a good price or not but it was close to home so I snatched it up. :-D

I just cannot stand when people neglect things like that. At least now it is in good hands, but what a bummer!
Has anyone done free motion quilting on their 500A? I'm still unable to get that to work on mine and hoping someone has some advice on tensions or ... Lol, that is all I can think of right now!
