While older Singer sewing machines came with lots of attachments, the Singer 500 came with even more! The iconic green attachment box with the red Singer logo was replaced by a two tier hard plastic accessory box, similar to the one that was included with the Singer 401 machine. I especially like that a straight stitch needle plate is included with the machine, as well as the zig zag one.

This week I'm thrilled to show you my latest vintage sewing machine - the Singer 500, commonly called the Rocketeer. I've had my eye out for one of these for some time, but could never find just the right one - until now. This machine is quite different from my previous machines and its iconic styling makes it instantly recognizable.
