I had a singer yrs. ago & bought a different one that was suggested to me by a friend who said it was better. Wrong. I am back to a singer & love it.This machine is great for what I wanted to use it for. Will go through light or heavy material & easy to use & thread does not jam up like the previous one. Very good machine.
I'm a 66 year old male and I needed a "guy machine" not a wimpy to many buttons kind of machine. Don't get me wrong the Singer 4423 has lots of extras. The 4423 was the perfect choice. I'm big in the belly and short in the legs so I always have a problem with pants that are too long legged. It cost me $8.00 every time I had my pants hemmed up. The Singer 4423 does the job easily. Like I said I'm a little too round so button popping is also a problem. The 4423 has an easy button sewing foot. No more sticking my fingers trying to hand sew those suckers. Oh and my eyes are a bit tired so threading a needle has always been a challenge. No more, the singer 4423 has a really great built in threader. At 1100 stitches per minute it made fast work of some black-out curtains I made for my t.v. room. the Singer 4423 is so much fun to use I'm constantly looking around my house to find something to sew. For instance my dogs chew up their stuffed toys. But now they are happy because I can sew up their toys instead of throwing them out. There, another savings. The 4423 has already paid for itself. My 92 year old mother has a Singer she bought during WW2. She still has it and it still works perfectly. That's why I knew my 4423 would be a great machine. Love it-love it-love it.
Only had it for a couple days. Took a few hours to go through the manual and learn all the features. It's a lot like the last Singer machine I've had for over 40+ years. It's a great machine for what I need, which is mainly for repairing stuff. Will be trying to make some curtains and light clothing. I like that it will go through heavy layers and it sews fast! I like that it only weighs 17 Lbs. and is smaller that my last machine. I would recommend this machine to friends.
I have used and had singer machines for over 50 years. I now make Renaissance clothing and needed a heaver machine. This machine took some time to get use to, but it works great, can sew heavy or light material without a problem.
My previous Singer machine had automatic tension adjustment and this machine is all done manually. It was frustrating to me at first to get it adjusted properly but finally at #5, it sews like it should. The more I use it, the more I'm liking my machine. I had no problems adjusting to doing the bobbin a different way and I can tell that it has speed through different types of materials. I believe I did make a good choice and I'm sure that after a few months of regular use, I will say I love my machine.
I LOVE this machine. I use it every day for many hours a day. It easily sews through several layers of fabric at a time. The speed of the machine is amazing! I have only had this machine for about 3 months so far, but have no complaints.
Couldn't be more pleased with this 4423. It's my my workhorse--handles everything. Bought it to have for the heavy jobs and also to have as a 2nd machine for when I'm sewing something which requires thread color changes often. This machines handles it all with ease and power. When I got it I took a strip of denim and folded layers in here and there to see how it would sew. This machine sewed down the strip up and over the humps like butter and without a vibration either. I was impressed as I had 14 layers in the little lumps. This would be a good starter machine for a beginner or to have as a 2nd machine for the heavy sewing. It does an equally nice job on sheer fabrics too. I am very happy with this machine! Just remember to use the correct size needle for the sewing job you're doing and you won't have any problems.
