Very sturdy sewing machine, for light and heavy duty sewing. Very easy to thread and make a bobbin. I bought it to replace my very long lasting beautiful Singer sewing machine which was manufactured in the 1960's, and that finally unfortunately lost its gears. I miss the knee control for the motor (using a foot pedal takes practice,) the reverse that could be on/off without holding the switch, and the step-by-step up/down control of the feed dog. But this machine can handle materials and variable thickness much better than my old machine, and has indeed 23 kinds of zigzags and blind hem stitches that I can use often.
I'm a first time sewer and thought it was going to be very challenging, but this machine is so easy to use! It's had no problem doing the denim and sequin projects I've been working on. It has a ton of power, I've only used it at about half power and that is PLENTY.
Machine arrived on time, I did some sewing and so far I am super happy with with this seems like,, horse power ,,fast speed machine.runs gentle and slow speed if I need, so far I truly like this sewing machine 4423, thanks Singer maker. N.Scott
Very nice heavy duty machine. Bob in loading is easy, threading the machine is easy and it has a needle threader. Very happy with my purchase. Will do everything thing I would need it for.
This machine works as well To recommend! as a much higher priced machine! Easy to operate. Love the needle threader and drop in bobbins. Would not hesitate to recommend!
