Wendy, Lorchen bought a 500 series a year or so back. Check with her. Last I heard on here she was very happy with her new machine.

I have the 550 QE and I love it. Sorry I can't tell you anything about the hook system. My machine came with the BSR but I use the open toe "darning' foot for FMQ - old dogs and new tricks I think with the BSR.

I'm buying a new machine soon but undecided which model. The 7 series are too big for my workspace so I'm looking at 5 series. Either the 550QE or the 580.

So what are the pros and cons of the rotary verses oscillating hook which seems to be the main difference and the bigger stitch . I can add on accessories and stitch regulator at a cost.

What are your thoughts, thanks :)
