picky bobbin threading
on September 20, 2011

I got this machine 5 months ago. It worked very well with different thickness fabric and the speed is very good. I noticed the bobbin threading problem at first try and it broke in 5 months of use. The upper thread won't pick up bobbin thread anymore and it won't loop and sew anymore. If the bobbin threading issue can be improved, this can be a great machine.

Learned a lesson.

As an experienced seamstress for 40+ years, I learned not to buy without physically seeing and 'test driving' a new machine. While this machine has great built-in features that are fairly easy to use, ( I had to get better instructions from the internet to use the buttonholer), I would not recommend this to anyone. The Boxy style of the machine makes changing a needle very frustrating as you cannot see to hold the needle when inserting it into the proper place. The needle is hardly visible, so the needle threader is handy but not easy to work. I patch and mend jeans frequently and do not use this machine at all for that. I tried, but again because of the boxy design I could not see the inside of the leg or the patch itself to stitch down. And where are the instructions/diagram for lubricating this machine? I have sewn on and owned Singer machines for years, but I am very disappointed in this model.

My very first sewing machine and I am very pleased. Easy to use. I'm just learning so I'm not familiar yet with all it can do. So far so good!

4423 Heavy Duty

I replaced an old Touch and Sew with this machine. I sew tents, dog harnesses, collars, leashes, chest packs, and other outdoor equipment and also do modifications on existing hiking/backpacking products. I am about to start a major new tent project and have been working on smaller projects to get a hand on using the machine before I run a bunch of fabric through it. So far seems like a great little machine. It is racing car fast and the stitches of its straight stitch line up perfectly. I tried using the button foot to mend a couple of shirts missing buttons and had a bit of difficulty. The thread on the bobbin side kept bunching up making huge thread clumps. This is the same manifestation that caused me to get rid of my old machine. Obviously it is something I am doing. But I don't know what. If you read this review and know the answer please see if you can respond. I would really appreciate it. In the mean time I will ask customer service then I can write a review on their response.

Excellent Machine

Although I have to admit, I am new to sewing. Being a Man its kind of hard to find information on the subject. After doing some research on sewing machines, I chose the 4423 Heavy Duty model. My initial intention was to use it for sewing garment quality leather. It worked well, seeing how I had NO sewing experience what so ever. I then moved onto other projects, little ones like sewing two coats for two pups. It worked really well for this. I have to say, this machine 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 alot of them which fit this machine. At the nearby Singer Authorized Repair facility, they toolk the time to try out several different ones with me. Online they do not offer a big selection of available presser feet. I have a pretty good list of new items, I eventually will need. At the store where I purchased this machine, they tried to sell me a different make, other than Singer, but seeing how My Grandmother used a Singer, My Sisters used Singer's, I felt relatively secure in choosing a Singer. The quality is excellent and this machine really does a good job. Money well spent if you ask me.
