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.

When sending my needle down to pick up the bobbin thread, the bobbin thread gets caught on something and doesn't want to come up without tugging and forcing it up.
