It's magic
on January 13, 2014
Posted by: Breanne

My machine is magic. I push the pedal and it magically makes cloth and anything else in it stick together. For this reason I have opted not to place my fingers directly in it. If they were stuck together it would be hard to use the shears. The subtle grey color of the machine works well at never outshining me and my flamboyant neon colors. In fact, if I'm not looking for it very hard I might not notice it is there. You need never worry that the government will charge you with improper light bulbs as this forward thinking machine uses led light bulbs and should be compliant with the laws for many years to come. So far this thing has magically stuck together four thick layers or cotton canvas like material. I await my opportunity to try it on leather as I endeavor to make a trap shooting vest for my husband.

Great & Excellent Machine

I had gotten this machine 4 weeks ago. It worked very well with different thickness in fabric and the speed is very good. The bobbin threading is very easy. Just one advice, when threading bobbin, be gentle!!! The only problem is that it was missing some accessories, which I have contacted for Singer to send me, hope they will send. I used this machine for sewing garment quality leather and it worked well. I even sewed a thick torn stretchy pants with hem and I have to say, this machine did a great hem and is sturdy. I have since moved onto other materials, namely 80% polyester 20% Lycra. After realizing the importance of needles, with the leather. I quickly went and bought some ball point needles. I have to say, you have to have the right tools for ANY given job. This machine really does handle it. Looking for different presser feet, there are a lot of them which fit this machine. I found some more presser feet via online. I have a pretty good list of new items that, I eventually will need. The quality is excellent and this machine really does a great job. Money well spent if you ask me.

4423 singer great machine

I have loved this machine. The 4423 is a real good machine for the money. After all the poor reviews this machine has got I believe it was just that the tension was not set right or the bobbin not threaded right. I use it daily and I have had no problems. Just one item is the light is not bright enough so I need a lamp.

What I hopped it would be!

I have never done much sewing, just my mothers machine when I was a kid, 60 years ago. I bought this machine to repair boat canvas, make outdoor furniture covers, and anything else that comes up. I am pleased with the power of the machine and it's ability to do several layers of canvas. The few jamming problems are probably my own fault and inexperience. I am curious in these days of high technology with stepping motors etc. why it doesn't have a true speed control. The need to press the pedal harder to provide the starting torque followed by a burst of speed is reminiscent of 60 year old technology. Maybe experienced sewers would not go of it? That comment aside I am happy with the machine. Singer is a trusted brand name. I respect others but when you have no experience with others and all other things are equal go with the company that has a reputation to protect.

Like my new 4423

I chose the Heavy Duty 4423 because I hem Denim pants, frequently. This machine can handle 6 layers of Denim, no problem. I did find the Instruction Manual-lacking (missing) some important information; like the size of bobbins to use with the machine. Hope they add this to the manual.

Horribly Disappointed in Singer
on November 9, 2013
Posted by: Mary

During the machine's first hour of use (sewing light-weight fabric), the thread tangled and jammed so often, it became unusable. I decided against sending the machine to a Singer Service Center because the cost to ship was high and the estimated time the machine would be outside of my possession was a couple weeks. Instead I took the machine to a repair shop across the street. This veteran sewing machine shopkeep identified the timing was horribly off. Oddly, he wasn't all that surprised I had encountered such a problem so early in my use of the machine. That should have been a clear warning sign. The next few garments I sewed without incident. But as I approached (what I estimate to be) the 10th hour or so of total use, I began to notice the feed dogs were not advancing the fabric. I, once again, traipsed across the street to allow my local repairman to assess the broken machine. He ascertained quickly one of the gears that controls the feed dogs had worn out. Needless to say, I did not invest any more money on this lemon. I submitted a request via email to Singer customer service for a replacement machine. I have not received a response; 4 weeks have already passed.

I bought it two year ago, but don't know how to lubricate it due to noisy when running.

a shame

i had the machine for less than a year and it worked through at least 8 projects... then the reverse button got stuck and it took 4 phone calls to fix and then while in the middle of a project it would not sew forward or backward. it continously got stuck i changed the thread, bobbin and needles and no luck... and i take to my repair man and he showed me 5 other machines with the same problems and it continues to occur... heavy duty seems to be a lie.. im very disappointed...
