This is a great workhorse of a machine. I don’t need anything fancy, but I need heavy duty for some of the things that I do and this really fits the bill. you can always rely on singer to give you the best machine. I’ve only had the machine a little over a week and it’s already had an issue with the thread going around the bobbin. I was able to resolve it, but I don’t know how, This is the reason for only four stars.
I bought my Singer 4423 three years ago and absolutely love it. It's perfect for making clothes, furnishings and craft projects. The heavy duty aspect is there when you need it, but it also works fine for lightweight projects. Super versatile and easy to use. Extra accessories are reasonably priced. Highly recommended if you don't need lots of fancy stitches.
Perfect stitch out of box. However, there is a very tight screw on face plate that will not untighten and the needle position doesnt work properly. Other than those issues I love the machine.
It worked well with one exception. The machine does not have a needle up/down button. The is not a show-stopper, except that it does not stop consistently in either the up or down position. Therefore, I constantly have to roll the the handwheel forward to pull the project from below the presser foot before cutting the thread. I would also prefer if the handle to raise the presser foot were turned 90 degrees to the right so it is easier to reach.
I love my singerI 4423. I am so happy with this sewing machine. I’ve had it for 4 months and I am pleased with this purchase. It’s definitely heavy duty. It’s not noisy and it can handle anything. I sew dog dresses and girls toddler dresses and this machine makes sewing a smooth experience. I’ve even sewn leather on this machine. I recommend the singer 4423.
False advertising, not actually heavy duty. It cannot sew through material the slightest bit thick.
