  • A troglodyte's review
Color: Grey
I was hesitant to leave a review, as I'm so woefully ignorant of the sewing arts and the black magics of how sewing machines work; but then I thought my inexperience might help others out, so here goes. Despite having a family who sewed, and many friends who made costumes for Ren Faire and comic/ gaming conventions, no amount of begging or pleading has ever gotten one of these lousy #%&!'s to teach me how to use a sewing machine. However, as is wont from time to time (and especially for one who engages in crafting of all sorts), I have found myself in need of joining two pieces of fabric together, preferably in a manner that doesn't look like a sugar-high child with a glue-stick did the affixing. Therefore, at three different times in my life, I've determined to learn how to operate one of these machines, or die trying (or, well... go naked trying!) First was a cheap Singer I bought new some 20-years ago. I don't recall much about it, or the model number... again, 20 years ago... except that I could never get it to work. And by "work" I mean I never managed to even get a straight stitch on scrap fabric. The machine was fine, as a friend made a gloriously beautiful cloak on it for me, but I couldn't get the hang of it. The second time was two years ago, when I borrowed another friend's Bernini that was so old, the user's manual read like those "Good Housekeeping" articles we all laugh and make fun of now, complete with women wearing pearls and heels while sewing. That time I managed to complete a couple of small projects, though not very cleanly and not without breaking dozens of needles. Third time's a charm! I bought this Singer 4423 because, once again, I found myself needing to merge nylon straps together, and there was no other option. So emboldened by my success with the old Bernini, I took the plunge... and am really glad I did! Again, I must warn you, I'm not doing anything fancy, so far just straight stitching straps together... but this machine has been a breeze to set up and operate. The quick start guide had me spooled up and sewing within minutes of taking it out of the box. Threading the machine is incredibly easy for idiots like me because each step is numbered ON THE MACHINE!!! Never once had to refer back to the owner's manual when changing thread! Three tries on some tiny nylon straps to figure out where my tension needed to be set, and I was off and running after that. If people didn't know any better, it actually looked like I knew what I was doing! The one common complaint that had me worried before ordering was that people complained that the pedal was too sensitive. Well, again, I've only ever used two machines other than this one, but the pedal sensitivity and speed on the 4423 is no different than either of those older machines. I don't think anybody who learned on an older machine will have any problems here. (Am I saying that if I can modulate speed just fine, then others can too? Yes, yes I am). I am pleased with this machine. Very idiot-proof, durable enough that I spent today sewing strap after strap, and never once broke a needle or snapped a thread. Did what I asked of it, and now I'm more confident in seeing what else I can learn and get it to do. ... show more

  • The 4423, It's a very good little machine.
Color: Grey
Sure the outside is mostly plastic but then that's how stuff is made these days. But underneath that plastic is a nice metal frame. It is a sturdy unit. I've had my 4423 for a month now and I'm completely happy with it. I also have a 1938 Singer model 221 that I love but it is a straight stitch only machine and doesn't have a free arm feature. The 221 has a little more power than the 4423 but for a modern machine it would be tough to find a better one for this price, with all the stitch features and button holer. After much research I think that the people that report sewing problems with this machine may be using the wrong bobbin. Only use the type 15 plastic bobbin. Metal bobbins may cause early bobbin case failure and 15 J will sooner or later cause a massive jam-up or incomplete stitches. Read the owner manual, watch the videos on YouTube if you have problems, maybe even before you get the machine. There is a lot of good info out there that will help you avoid trouble. The needle threader works very nicely and I really appreciate that since my near vision isn't so good anymore. The bobbin winder works well and threading the the bobbin is a snap, see the drawing in the user guide. It will sew with a double needle too but it works best if you don't run the second thread thru the thread guide just above the needle. Yes the feed dogs don't raise immediately when you move the switch back to normal but as soon as the machine completes one stitch cycle the dogs pop right up and feed normally. It's not a problem, just the way it is. People have complained about the built in light, I don't know about how it was but the new machines have an led lamp and it is bright enough to sew in a darkened room. Yes the wire to the foot pedal is too short but now I can splice in an extra couple feet of wire to lengthen it. The foot pedal is very controllable and the machine WILL start and run slowly. I sew in stocking feet or barefoot, always have. I have better control that way. The 4423 has replaced my model 1937 Kenmore portable which was a free arm zig zag machine. The 4423 is more powerful than that Kenmore although it is not much smaller but it is much, much lighter. I was tired of dragging that old boat anchor around and that was the primary reason for buying the Singer. I think it is quieter than the Kenmore too. I had considered a fancier electronic machine but I've been in electronics repair for a long time and finally decided that it would be a bad choice. Nothing like a nice LCD panel to tell you what you should already know. Expensive electronic equipment will break down for the dumbest of reasons so it stands to reason that cheap electronics wouldn't be any better. Not to mention the repair costs, if even possible. So a nice mechanical machine was my choice and I really like this little Singer. My sewing these days is mainly repairs and mods. I don't know if mine will sew leather or multiple plies of denim and it doesn't concern me much cuz it does what I need it to do very well. Oh, by the way, all the important accessories are in the "secret compartment" in the removable free arm piece. And the "cover" is a just crappy piece of gray paper in a plastic bag. I cover mine with an old T shirt, it works just fine and actually looks better than the included cover. ... show more

  • backpacking gear and leather luggage from a beginner.
Color: Grey
first time sew'er. I'd like to try my hand at leather luggage is my end goal. can't justify an industrial machine. did some test pieces of two 10 oz veg tanned with a 'heavy duty' 110/18 needle and #69 nylon thread and it did ok. the thread broke, but I think that was due to me not having a 'leather needle'. the machine did not bog down nor complain with sounds of death. to the contrary, I was impressed on how it zipped through the leather. just got my 120/19 'leather' needles in so it should go even better now. teaching myself to sew via the internet and backpacking/BoB/ gear projects. using 1.1oz ripstop nylon 110/18 'heavy duty' needle #69 bonded nylon thread 1" polypro web/strap made a couple dozen stuff sacks w/ 1" webing from 6" to 4' including gather pulls. made a dozen compression straps. this machine has gone through it all without an issue of any kind. I'm impressed for such an inexpensive machine that many talk bad about on the internet, because it's a 'singer and they don't make their own stuff'. sure it might not last, but it's paid for itself in saving over store bought gear already and I get to sew it the way I want it. I got it off 'amazon warehouse deals'. I've ordered my leather sides 10oz chrome/veg/ tanned hides. once I get some more practice in, I'll update this review on how this machine does on long term heavy leather sewing. for us beginners wanting to do thick webbing/backpacking/ gear, I can highly recommend this singer heavy duty. update oct 1, 2017: still going strong. No issues. Just sowed my wife's blue jeans and it had no problems sewing through 2 layers denim(waist top seam) and through the belt loop top attache point. Something like 6-8 layers of denim ? used 110 denim needle, #69 cotton levi / gold thread. ... show more

  • Seems Like a Great Buy
Color: Grey
In looking over these 4 models, I compared the listed features in order to figure out which was actually the best buy. I believe the best buy is model 4423. 4411 is the lowest priced, however 4423 has 11 more stitches, (4 stretch), the fully automatic 1-step buttonhole maker and the auto-needle threader for a mere 5 dollars more. The only features model 4432 seems to have over 4423 are are an additional 3 stretch stitches and 6 more decorative stitches, for 44 dollars more. As it is described, model 5532 seems to have "automatic pressure foot control" as its distinguishing feature over model 4432 as well as "Automatic bobbin winding" and the way it is written it sounds as though your needle will go up and down when the bobbin is wound if you do not have this feature. It might mean bobbin is wound in place as opposed to moving it to the top of the machine to wind, but that isn't clear. I was a bit hesitant to get this machine after reading about all the bobbin jamming but the price was too good and there were enough positive reviews to not find out for myself. Here's what I found: You can very easily jam your bobbin if you remove your work without first making sure the uptake lever is in the uppermost position. If you remove your work when the needle is up but the uptake lever is down, it (the uptake lever) can easily come unthreaded without your notice and your next stitches will jam. The simple discipline of never removing your work without the uptake lever in the uppermost position, as is the case with many sewing machines, solves that problem. I bought this machine to sew denim jeans, not just hem them...as well as to work with other heavy fabrics. It's a nice companion to my Singer Heavy Duty Serger which is great for trimming and finishing my denim seams. At the time my Singer Heavy Duty 4423 arrived, I was working on a rayon spandex knit top that on any machine would be like trying to sew a limp noodle. With a walking foot, it went fine on this machine. Buying some denim today to make some jeans and see how this machine does. Update: I sewed a pair of denim jeans. I used a walking foot and everything went well, mostly. The only drawback I definitely noticed was that there isn't quite enough clearance when raising the presser foot. I had to pull to get some thicker seamed areas out from under the raised presser foot. The foot can be raised a little higher but that wasn't high enough for the thickest areas. Another 1/4" clearance would be a lot better. I recently learned to use a hammer or mallet on my thickest seam buildups in sewing jeans and it does help tremendously. I don't see why additional clearance isn't part of the design specs for a heavy duty machine, though. The automatic 1-step buttonhole attachment is really nice. So is the automatic needle threading. I'm used to having longer seam width guidelines etched in that area where the see thru bobbin cover is, but the clear bobbin cover is kind of in the way for that. I did notice another brand has the guidelines marked on the bobbin cover. Hint to Singer. A third brand has a screw head in the middle of their guidelines. That, was an immediate turnoff. I tend to put sewing machines through some tough paces. Overall, I think this machine is still a fairly good value for the price. Update: I'm liking this machine more and more. I have several older machines and was looking for the best straight stitch, top AND bottom side. This machine won! The decorative stitches are definitely cool. I tried them on some denim crazy quilt pieces. ... show more

  • So far, Great Machine AND Great Price
Color: Grey
I bought this machine because I needed something that will handle heavy duty fabric such as denim, and also has just enough bells and whistles for the sewing that I want to do. So far, I am really liking the machine although it was difficult to understand some of the instruction in the manual. I read through the book and started trying it out. I liked the idea of the self threading needle. I was unsuccessful the first day that I got the machine, so I went to Youtube and watched some videos on how to do it. Somehow I was missing something and the needle wasn't threading. The next day, I tried again and also reread the instruction and looked at You Tube again. This time I realized that there was supposed be a small hook that should have gone into the eye of the needle, but just couldn't find the little hook. So I tried again without success, then looked for the hook at more of an angle instead of straight on and could see a little tiny hook. From there, I realized that sometimes the tiny hook would not go into the needle hole, but on the outside of the needle. I just moved it around and could see the little hook through the needle hole. From there, I had no problem. I also had a little trouble with with the buttonholer, but found that I have to set each of the dials for making the buttonhole. on the stitch dial, be sure to select the buttonhole; on the stitchlength dial, select the buttonhole located between 1 and 0 stitchlength; on the top of the machine select "6" for the stitchwidth. Once I did all three of these things I had no problem. Don't forget to pull down the buttonhole tab. Makes great buttonholes. Please remember that in most cases, there may be something done if the machine doesn't sew properly. For example, If the machine isn't threaded properly, you will get looping and jamming on the underside of the fabric. If it isn't the machine top threading, you should check to see if the bobbin is threaded properly of that the bobbin is turning counterclockwise. Also it helps to keep the beginning thread toward the back of the back of the machine bed, pulled toward the right. Just check these things one at a time until the machine stitches properly. Hope this helps. I did make a fleecy pillow case, and it worked well (my old machine didn't handle layer too well). The price was wonderful!!! I am really looking forward to using this machine, and yes, I will do some denim, to. My son wants me to take up some jeans (hope it handles the waistband and beltloop layers. My husband wants me to repair some worn spots on his work jeans (that should be easy). May also so some quilting. Before I ordered, the price through Amazon market was around $134. I would have had free shipping and tax added around $137. The next day I found that the price had dropped to $124 +tax and free shipping. The confirmation email said to expect it to be delivered between 12/19 and 12/21. When I tracked it, it said I would get it on 12/13...really fast delivery. I will update this posting later if I can remember. Thanks Amazon! ... show more

  • Don't change any settings at first - use the settings as shipped
Color: Grey
I have had a second hand machine for years that never worked properly, the tensions couldn't be balanced, the speed was difficult to control. I learned how to sew on my mother's Singer and I longed to get one for myself, but back then sewing machines were more expensive and I didn't sew enough to justify it. I sewed less after fighting with mine for so long. Plus my mother had eventually replaced hers with another brand with a lot of fancy stitches. She used it for a couple of years but began to sew less as it started giving her a lot of trouble. She eventually dug out her 30+ year old Singer and began sewing again. I read several of the reviews of a few machines and I was convinced that getting a Singer was still what I wanted for several reasons. One is that Singer machines' thread tensions are more reliable. Many other machines have the thread go from spool to needle through no more than 4 catches. This Singer and most others I've seen have 7. Similarly the bobbin thread is held better as well. This keeps thread control and tension more consistent. I read some reviews for this machine saying they had problems straight out of the box or after only a short time. It makes me wonder 2 things - whether they changed settings like tensions before starting to sew on a scrap to get used to the machine or whether they purchased from a marketplace seller. The first thing I did was to thread the machine with standard thread and leave all settings as is (I wasn't going to need to anyway unless I didn't like where they were set after using it) then I ran a scrap through the machine to see how it felt. What a dream! It was quiet, it was easy to control the speed (it didn't jump from 0 to 60 like other non-Singers I've used), and the stitches were beautiful. The thread tensions were perfectly balanced. After practicing with it a little I began my project and was off and running without having to stop and unsnarl thread or struggle with thread tensions that wouldn't stay set. I can't understand how much trouble some people seemed to be having. One thing I mention here, I purchased the 4423 because I wanted a machine that could handle heavy fabrics, and had a variety of stitches for basic products. I didn't need 100 types of stitches or a computer for a sewing machine. I am fine with the basics. If I decide to put someone's name on a project, I'll embroider it by hand. I don't do all that much sewing any more. I do really wish I had replaced my hunk-o-junk 20 years ago right after my sister-in-law traded me for the machine I had inherited from her mother - it didn't work all to well either but she didn't like her 'new' machine. I found out why. I also wonder whether some people who wrote bad reviews purchased their machines from the marketplace. I have purchased some items from there when needed, but I and others have had problems with using them. Primarily in their definition of the word "new". If someone returns an item within the 30 days or whatever and claims it is in new condition some sellers don't check the contents to confirm. Instead they sell it to the next person. So blankets arrive not factory packaged and with obvious stains on them. The purchaser returned it because they didn't like something about it, hadn't broken it but had definitely taken it out of the box and used it. Why the seller didn't examine the blanket to be assured it was in new condition I can't say. But I say buyer beware if they buy from the marketplace and not from Amazon. Some marketplace sellers sell their own products so don't fall under this category, others are just retailers shipping through Amazon. Some aren't very professional. Don't blame the product without first being sure that you didn't purchase one of these "new" products that had actually been a return that should have been marked "like new". And don't twiddle with it before seeing how it performs straight out of the box! All I can say is I LOVE this machine. It works almost exactly as my mom's old Singer. Singer has kept to the old adage that if it ain't broke don't fix it. Their basic machines are virtually unchanged from one's produced 50+ years ago. Oh they look different, but that's just like putting on a new dress, the person in the dress is the same. Sure they have the more advanced machines, ones they pioneered. But even those are built on top of the old reliable machine. If you have a problem that is a defect, find out right away and get a replacement. Don't wait on any purchase, sewing machine or other items, to try it out to see if it is in working order then blame Singer for not replacing it. Every company can produce a defective product that made it through quality control. It is up to the buyer to do their own checking to be sure they got a product in full working order. These sewing machines now are so much less expensive that even if you do get one that breaks down, purchasing a new one does not burn a hole in your wallet. 20 years ago some of the machines I looked at would have cost $1000! Be happy you aren't shelling that out and getting the junk I've been using that cost $850! And it is just as basic as the one I just purchased! And a word for beginners - yes there is a manuel and yes it's easy to learn on. Even without the manuel someone with minimal experience can easily see how the different features work. They are clearly labeled. Anyone having problems has never used a Singer or other machine that isn't complicated to use. They look for complexity where there is simplicity. I have only had this machine a short time, but I can say that even if it starts giving me some trouble, it would have to literally break to be as bad as what I've been using. I wish I had talked my mother into giving me her old Singer! But I feel as if I just did. The color is different, but it's the same machine. ... show more

  • Serious quality issues!
Color: Grey
This was my go-to workhorse for 25 years, now they are garbage. I have been extremely loyal to Singer, and these machines in particular. I sew professionally for my business. I have been using the Singer Heavy Duty machines since the beginning. I appreciated the speed and simplicity of these machines. I only use these machines for straight stitching with a twin needle. I know how to trouble shoot problems when they occur. I'm a pro, especially on these machines. I use these machines for about 10 hours per week. That isn't excessive. I properly oil and clean them, replace needles often, know how to spot a bad bobbin or bobin casing, use high quality thread, and fully understand how to adjust tension. I am a master at using twin needles. These machines would usually last me about a year, then when they start giving me problems, I simply donated and replaced them. They aren't expensive, so it is more cost effective to replace them than service them. I loved their SPEED. They are fast. But after a week, they are noisey. I can deal with that. I have already purchased two Singer Heavy Duty machines in the last 2 months. The first one was garbage. It constantly gave me problems, so I quickly returned it and bought another. The second machine is no better, it is also garbage. Thread constantly breaks and nests under the fabric, and needles keep breaking. These are the exact same problems I had with the machine I just returned. Experienced sewists may say, "Hey, you're using twin needles! That's the problem! They are always problematic". I'll respond by saying I have been doing this for 25 years on these machines with minimal issues. SOMETHING HAS CHANGED. Having one bad machine could have been a fluke. Two in a row in less than two months? That's a sign that Singer QUALITY has drastically gone downhill. Yesterday, I finally got to the point where I couldn't do ANYTHING with this machine. I changed the bobin casing, needle, and carefully wound a new bobbin with NEW thread. There was no dust, lint, or loose threads in the machine. The needle wasn't bent or dull. I could find absolutely no reason for the problems I was having... the same as with the last machine. These machines simply don't seem to have the quality that the prior Singer Heavy Duty machines had. I can't afford down-time, and I wasted the entire day trying to sort this issue out, without success. So I decided to just switch to a different brand and had a new machine delivered today so I can get back to work. I'm not leaving this comment to plug another brand. I'm just trying to show how frustrated I am that the quality of the machines has degreaded so much over the last year. After some research I decided on a Necchi machine. I wanted to keep the cost down because I do consider these types of machines to be semi-disposable after a year or so, and I wanted the same sewing speed. It arrived today and it works PERFECTLY on a straight stitch with a twin needle. I used it for two hours without the slightest hiccup. I am also AMAZED at how much quieter it is than the Singers! To compare the noise difference, the Singer is a baby crying in the middle of the night and waking me up from a deep slumber, while the Necchi is like a baby cooing in the middle of the afternoon. The Necchi isn't quite as fast as the Singer although the both claim 1100 spm. Only time will tell how well it holds up. But, so far I'm pleased. In a nutshell, these Singer Heavy Duty machines are not your "granny's Singers". Singer was always my go-to choice, but now they have serious quality control issues. I'm not sure I could go back to Singer again. ... show more
