I was so excited to get this machine. I have had it for one day and it started to work just fine right out of the box and used some scrap fabrics for a test run.. I was very excited and good to go. Graves one of my projects that I have been working on and decided to use this to finish it, WELL THAT WAS A VERY BAD IDEA! Started out great for about 5 minutes and then the bobbin started to mess up and started to make a nasty mess under my seams... I have tried everything that I know how to fix it.. it would work great for about 3 minutes and then go right back to turning into a huge mess again! After a hour of changing needles and rethreading and changing threats and tensions nothing I give up and it's only been one day but i have already put it back in the box and getting ready to bring it back to get my money back on this junk. I will just stick with my brother brand machine. Such a shame bc I was so excited to have this machine.

I bought this when I saw the word 'Heavy Duty'. So, as soon as I got home I had to check it out. I was amazed how it took really thick layers and sewed with ease. I used thin material and tested it out too. It served my purpose really well, without any sqeek or sqeel. So far so good. Actually so far excellent. I wish singer would come up with a sturdy and convenient to use cover for its machines. Also, I have not found out how to clean this machine (especially when it gets too much lint). I owned a Kenmore for almost 40 years. It is a great machine and I can open up its sides and bottom (no screw drivers needed) to get to the moving parts and clean them occasionally. But this one I can't do it. There is also no indication if I need to oil this machine and where to pour the oil. If anyone can help me with this I appreciate it. I would like to maintain this machine for another 40 years; just like my Kenmore.

Straight Out of the Box

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!
Very disappointed. I must have gotten a lemon. The needle was supposed to be able to move into three positions. I couldn’t get it to move from the default position. The lower tension was way too loose. I tried adjusting with the upper tension to no avail. The foot pedal had only one speed - wide open - which I couldn’t regulate no matter how gently I pressed. Had the machine less than a week and got so frustrated I returned it.

We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed with this machine. If you would like to share more details about your experience, we would love to hear them to improve the situation. Thank you!
I'm extremely rough on sewing machines but this one went through four layers of pleather, two layers of velvet upholstery and two layers of satin all at the same time over and over again.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great for a beginner!

I was learning to sew on my mother’s 70 year-old Singer (which still runs beautifully in its original cabinet). I had trouble understanding the attachments so was limited to straight stitch. That’s why I decided to see what a modern machine could do and order the 4423. I love everything about it - the automatic threader, see-through bobbin case, variety of stitches by turning the dial, etc. Very easy for a beginner to learn sewing.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very good product. Using it for leather and other heavy fabrics, works just as imagined.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Troublesome machine

I had it for about 3 years now and had to take it for repair twice already for the same problem, threads are looping on the under side of the fabric and there is a lot of thread remnants in the machine itself
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
