Your post was timely for me. I was just given a Singer 500, and it's missing the thread control. I threaded the machine without it, and it sews perfectly fine. Your explanation lets me know I don't need to spend any time trying to find this part. Thanks!

I had been wanting a Rocketeer for many years and recently one fell into my lap, so to speak. I was trying to figure out how to thread it (I have a manual) but that thread control had me totally baffled. Thanks for the info! I bypassed it and everything works fine.

I love this. I have had issues in the last year plus with my singer 500A where the thread would pop out of the tension disks. Repair shop showed me a way to thread it in reverse order across the thread control. NO improvement at all.
