Works well for Free Motion Embroidery
on November 9, 2022
Posted by: FloBro
from Ottawa, Canada
My 4423 has developed quite a loud squeak. The nearest warranty centre is over 200 miles away, which surprised me as I'm living in the capital city of Canada. I've enjoyed using it, as it is great for free motion embroidery, but worried that the squeak somehow indicates that there is something amiss.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Sturdy Machine

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed a strong dependable machine that could handle sewing denim and other thicker fabrics. This machine is exactly what I needed to sew and repair all of my decorative pillows to match my color scheme. In addition I was able to make outdoor curtains. The extension was so valuable to have. I can tell by the quality I will have this machine for a long while!

Smooth sewing

After my 4552 Singer machine broke [around 25 years} I wanted a machine close to that. I chose the 4452 and am very happy with it. I miss some features on the old machine, metal speed control petal, and the metal spool pin. I have a needle threader on new machine but so use to threading needle I forget to try it. IT came with walking foot and a few other things that I never had before, I will need to learn how they work. I made a quilt for my granddaughter who was going in hospital. It turned out beautifully.

Very Misleading use of "Heavy Duty"
on October 9, 2022
Posted by: spbrick
from Two Harbors, MN
Two of these 4452 machines broke on me in less than the first two months of use. I was simply sewing hook and loop material on to polyester strap webbing. There is actually nothing heavy duty about sewing these types of materials except the are a little thick. I chose to use a #18 leather needle because that type of needle has a cutting top which would make it easier on the machine. They still broke dispute the extra precautions I took to protect the machines. I was even hand turning the stitches over strap layers and using the Singer so called walking foot. Their walking foot is not a walking foot. Using the term walking foot to describe this foot is simply misleading as well as the term "Heavy Duty". At best, this machine should be described as robust home sewing and definitely not "Heavy Duty".
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The foot peddle takes getting used to but it’s a great machine and easy to handle those thick fabric projects

Seems to be great
on September 28, 2022

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not much time to use before review was due. My project was a bag made from upholstery fabric with a cotton liner. Machine sewed great on both fabrics. Used the provided Jeans needle for the heavy fabric. Very little problems going through several layers. It would have been helpful if the presser foot could have higher clearance by as I tried to feed thick seams under to begin project. Also the speed was fine sewing long straight seams but would have been helpful if I could have set it to a slower speed working around circle edges. The foot peddle a little stiff so more pressure resulted in a fast speed.
Light weight. Easy to move to table and attachable table great for sewing larger pieces together. The removable base producing a narrow swing arms worked great when sewing around the circular areas of bag. Liked the movable needle position. I could use the wide foot to help hold seams together yet move needle to the right to produce the 1/4 seam I wanted. I also used the overcast foot on my edges for smooth edge. I have difficulty seeing small things so the self threaded is perfect for my eye Sight.
The only reason I rated this a 4 instead of a 5 was the height of presser foot clearance making it difficult to get thick seams started. I usually do quilt piecing so it will have no problems with those projects. Easy to start sewing right out of the box bit i would really like to use this mkre to gibe a better review m

Thank you sew much for taking the time to write your review of the Singer model HD6360M Mechanical Heavy Duty sewing machine. We greatly appreciate you for sharing your experience with other shoppers.
Regarding the lift of the presser foot: The Singer model HD6360 presser foot lifts about ½ inch when the lifter is in the normal up position (at this point top tension is disengaged). The presser foot can lift to about 5/8 inch, by lifting the presser foot lifter higher, in order to give extra space for placement of thicker fabric or multiple layers of material under the presser foot more easily. The presser foot will not stay in the higher position without the lifter being held in the uppermost position. Also be aware that if you sew on multiple layers that are too thick and it raises the presser foot too high, the top tension will be disengaged and the machine will not make a proper stitch (may jam machine).

I am still getting used to the new Singer machine, but as a life-long Singer customer I have high expectations for years is service!
The Heavy Duty model is a bit louder than my previous models, but operation has been smooth so far.
