I will never purchase another singer machine

After much research, I chose the 4423 because it's labeled a "workhorse" and "heavy duty." I am a stay at home mother with 3 children that I homeschool. I do not have time to see commercially or professionally, sewing is a hobby I love. This machine crushed my dreams. I've had it less than a year and a half, and have been experiencing issues with the stitch selector (a simple knob that chooses the random stitch of it's choice), and with tension. No matter what tension I choose, or stitch it chooses, I can sew normally around an item, then it makes a loud clanking noise and starts spoiling the thread under my fabric in large bird nests. I contacted customer service, who seemed easy to deal with at first, and assured me my machine was under the 2 year warranty. I emailed my receipt in, and several days later got a call that my switch selected knob is not included in the warranty because it is not electronic...wow, I bought a mechanical machine without electronics because I thought it would last longer. I was wrong. You see, this machine is only under warranty for 90 days unless it's the motor, foot pedal, or light assembly. So now I have a useless machine that's less than 2 and a half years old. Congratulations Singer for not standing behind your products, and for creating cheap machines that are only guaranteed for 90 days. Buyers beware...read you warranty fully and then determine if you wish to waste your money.

I love it!

I have been sewing for the better part of 40 years. I purchased a basic Singer sewing machine back in 1985 and retired it just a few years ago. When I went to replace it I was given two different Singers, a Singer Traditional and a Heavy Duty 4423. I find both machines to be great for basic sewing. However, I think the Tradition works as well as the 4423, except for the limitations in sewing heavy fabrics. I have sewn heavy costumes for many years and my original machine took a beating but kept on performing. This new machine is the best machine I have used to date. The only issue I have had with either is with a particular brand of thread. However, the machines themselves are working great! I hesitated buying a new machine, but my daughter purchased the 4423 so I could sew her a wedding dress. I have never worked with a machine that is so easy to use while performing difficult stitches through multiple layers of heavy material . The first project I sewed was a dress form using light material. It performed as expected. But when I went to sew a mother dress form out of heavier material it was a joy to work with. My next project will use leather with heavy duck fabric. So far the samples have all been exceptional. Thanks Singer!

I bought this machine as a present for my wife. She was thrilled with the machine and surprised with its features. She can now sew on jeans and heavy materials!

Nice Heavy Duty Machine

I bought this to replace the 45 year old Husqvarna Viking I learned to sew on as a child - a very basic, sensible, no-frills workhorse. I was looking for something similar, something that would allow me to sew just about anything, but didn't have a lot of frills, and didn't cost a fortune. This machine has been great! I have been making guinea pig fleece bedding pieces, using up to 4 layers of fleece at a time, and it has sewn with absolutely no problems. I really like the see-through bobbin area - it makes it so much easier to gauge the amount left and to stop without running out! I haven't quite mastered the automatic needle threader, but I've only had the machine a week, so I'm sure I'll get it figured out. Very happy with my purchase!

It's a pleasure

This machine is a pleasure to sew on. It is much better than the one I replaced (another Singer). One thing that could be improved upon is that the last thread guide (when threading the machine) is not located conveniently for quick threading.

Best machine of this time

While this machine isn't from the 1950s, it works like it is. Super heavy duty. I have taught my granddaughter to use this machine and she expects to inherit it when I finally give it up. I've used many many machines and almost all were Singers. I would strongly recommend this machine, unfortunately it's not available in our town anymore.

Heavy duty sewing machine

I have put this product through the rest by making a quilt. I did not want to let this just sit around. It lives up to its description this far. As I am still making blocks (4 left to do). But right now I am enjoying this machine.
