Straight Out of the Box
on February 8, 2012

Straight out of the box it does not work. The feed dog does not work, the material does not move. I tried to adjust the presser foot and the feed dog level, nothing. Brand new machine that does not sew!!! Imagine that, I have a Futura II that my Mom purchased for me in jr high that is still working in great condition, I am so disappointed!

My new machine

The very best feature on this machine is the self- threading feature. It's the greatest. I am having a little trouble getting the bobbin to remain where it is supposed to. I am also looking forward to sewing something on the smaller extension table.

Used Long Enough To Review
on January 19, 2012

I have used this machhine long enough to review properly now. I like the features offered. I really like having such complete control over the stitch length and widths. Yes it will sew over thick material but unless you have some momentum going, the thread will bunch up and tangle. I seem to have a lot of trouble with the knotting of thread when I sew over thickness. Changing needles don't seem to help. But overall, this is really a good machine to sew with.

Excellent machine!

I received my machine about a month ago, and have been using it off and on since for several diffent projects. I am a basic operator, out of practice and behind the times.The manual makes set up and usage easy. The machine has plenty of power and is user friendly. Changing feet and using the needle threader take a little getting used to, but that was the inexperience of the operator, not the difficulty of the machine. I have had no problems with it yet, and am very pleased with the performance. Excellent value for the money!

4423

B. eautiful machine. Heavy duty. Easy to thread and love the threading numbers on the machine. I have a large commerical machine for upholstery weight fabrics, but this 4423 will make beautiful pillows and I have the attachment for ruffler that I can't have on the commerical machine. I highly recommend this machine and easy to transport from job to job.

My new singer

I have had this machine for awhile but just started to use it. I like the fact it sews through many layers, as I use on jeans a lot. My only complaint is that it is very noisy. It seems to thud very loudly.

It is so-so heavy duty machine

I have been using that for 4 months now. I always used my mother's oldest singer machine that last 20 years. But this machine was my graduation gift. I found few issues that need to be resolved. For example, the buttonhole foot, the function was not properly. It would not move to number 2 to 4. It stayed on number 1. The manual instruction was too basic. It would not help this troubleshooting. Button Foot works fine but not the buttonhole foot itself. The dial would not send the machine to make it function. I want to warn you to be aware that sometime bobbin gets stuck because that I realized the number 3 (Thread Take-up lever) would not hold the string very well if you sew over time and it get jabbed to cause the material stuck or bobbin thread oddly on the underneath of material. If it happens to you, make sure check the Thread Take-up Lever because sometime the string would not stay in. I wish that Thread Take Up Lever has hole itself, not slide under and hold it. Underneath Needle plate over, be aware that it can cause strings stuck sometime. I had to remove out and clean it out and to make sure it works fine. It was time consuming because there is no manual how to fix or clean it. I had to assume myself if it works right. (Wish that tools like screw or Flat head screw included for this machine) Many tools that were too big for this machine or others so i had to use the smallest tool but could not find one so my friend had to make it and bend the length to make it work. Prefer to have singer tools which it would be nice. Other than that, I like this machine for my first time sewing. I had other Singer Machine (cant remember the number) it was a huge problem and I had to send it back. Secondly, I like this machine and it was okay reasonable price but the function itself is not emphasized as heavy duty than I would thought. I hope someday Singer makes Foot speed control that has adjust or dial speed number to control the speed. I had hard time to control it. It would be nice to have accommodation for me. Like, slow, medium, fast, umlimited dial.. Something like that.
