Product Details

The Happy COM-500 is a computerised sewing machine for home use, combining user-friendly operation with versatility and the precision of Japanese designed engineering. It’s ideal for keen hobbyists and light professional users looking for more advanced features than a standard domestic machine.

This machine is designed for ease of use while offering features typically found on more advanced models, including an automatic thread cutter for both top and bobbin threads, a one-touch slow speed button, easy bobbin loading without manual thread pull-up, needle up/down control, and a built-in thread sensor that stops the machine if the thread breaks.

Positioned as a machine for a beginner, intermediate or advanced user who wants one machine for sewing and embroidery.

Superior Fabric Handling

The COM-500 is built around superior fabric handling and features the Happy advanced feeding system. This ensures a smoother movement of fabric through the Happy Box Feed System to the 7-piece feed dog, helping to reduce puckering with the horizontal movement of the feed dog. Paired with an improved presser foot, it also minimises skipped stitches. This smooth feeding action makes the machine particularly effective when working with delicate or stretchy materials, as well as heavier fabrics like denim or upholstery.

Advanced Stitch Control

The LCD computerised screen makes stitch selection simple and intuitive, allowing you to easily choose from built-in lettering and decorative stitch options. It also features automatic thread tension adjustment, ensuring consistent, high-quality results with minimal effort.

Optional Embroidery Unit add on

As with all Happy machines, the COM-500 can be easily upgraded with the optional EU-5 unit, transforming it into a fully capable embroidery machine in moments. The add-on simply attaches to the machine, providing an embroidery area of 130 x 200mm. There’s no need for a separate embroidery machine and switching between sewing and embroidery is quick and effortless.
