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

[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.

Powerful machine, great for jeans!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'll be honest, I'm a novice at sewing, but I'm also needing to hem or fix jeans, reattach buttons, fix tears in clothes and jackets all the time. I also sometimes sew logo patches on to shirts and jackets. I finally made the decision to invest in a SINGER and I decided to go with the heavy duty one and do not regret it! My husband is a mechanic and is hard on clothes and in some of the bigger tears or rips, we've just thrown jeans away, so I'm so excited to save more pairs of jeans and not feel so wasteful. While a novice, I have some very experienced people in my life that have helped me get this set up and gave me a refresher on how to use. They were really impressed with the machine and love that it came with the extension table - especially when you're working with jeans, the extra space is great! They also mentioned that it's got a great starter kit with all of the accessories, especially with the extra needles and seam ripper. The speed is impressive and it effortlessly sews up jeans and other heavy duty materials. It feeds smoothly (I'm still getting used to the foot peddle) but I haven't had any problems so far!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great sewing machine! I love that it handles thicker materials such as denim canvas and even vinyl seats I covered for the boats! It had a great assortment of accessories that was included with it ... My favorite was the extension table! I would recommend this to anyone who is trying to do more heavy duty projects!
