Singer model 4220.

This machine is terrible. Bought it new and was told it would sew heavy fabrics. I have had so much trouble getting the right tension. I have retreaded many times to try to get it to stitch right. I have had it for a while and every time I use it I end up with a mess with the stitching. Never another Singer for me. I wish I had never got it. And it wasn't cheap!

3rd time SINGER was junk out of the box
on June 7, 2019

8 years ago, after moving away from my parents I purchased a singer. Right out of the box it had tension problems. I exchanged it 2 times and had the same issue so I went to another brand. I decided to go back to SINGER because I wanted a heavy duty simple machine. I get home and after doing 2 test lines the timing was off and it started skipping stitches. I know it was the timing because I changed the thread, changed the bobbin, changed the needle, made sure it was clean (which is was being brand new). I am SUPER disappointed in SINGER. If you are a serious sewer or quilter spend your money elsewhere.

Timing issues right out the box

Right out the box it seemed great but after getting a bobbin wound and loaded up and the top thread routed it just wouldn't sew. After lifting the plate and looking at the timing hook I found out the hook was a bit slow.

Piece of garbage

I received this as a gift and what a piece of junk. After using the machine ONE time, the automatic needle threader broke. Now I am not even two months in to using this machine and the foot pedal only goes on turbo speed, it no longer goes slowly when I apply a small amount of pressure. After the next piece malfunctions, I will switch to a competitors machine and never go back to singer. What a shame, they were always such a trusted brand. Not anymore

I purchased this machine a week ago and have been using it for making pocketbooks/purses. It is great on heavy and thick fabric. It has been a dream to use. However, the sewing machine foot is of very cheap quality. I have two other older Singer models that work great but don't handle very thick fabrics well. I also have three other brands of sewing machines and all of them have better feet then this one. I really would like to upgrade it. Since I've only been using it for a short time I hope it will last, but I must say the quality is not what Singer use to be.

Awesome workhorse

I bought this Singer HD several years ago and love how I can sew binding on quilts or zippers on jeans, it's like a warm knife thru butter. My Brother machine balks at binding. I had a Babylock that the fabric just wanted to slide all over the place. My Singer HD has never given me a moments problem, it just goes and goes. I've started taking some sewing classes and decided I want to take my Singer HD. I bought another one because I keep two set up in my sewing room all the time. I love my Singer HD! It may not be expensive but it sure does get the job done.

ticked off
on December 19, 2018

I purchased the heavy duty because I was beginning to sew again and my other 2 Singers were very old. The machine always has been touchy with bobbin, tension, top thread wadding up in bobbin area. Now I have tried to use it and it will not sew. Two stiches and it locks up, all tangled below. I have tried all tension settings, newly wound bobbin, rethreading both every time, etc. I am sick of it. It is not worth taking to repair because from the other reviews this is a flaw in the machine. Shameful to still be selling this model. No more Singers for me.

Style/Color is awful

I am a beginner and am looking to buy a heavy duty sewing machine. I would have bought this machine, but the color is too depressing. It would be great if the style could be rounded out instead of square and clunky looking too. Even it it was offered in all the colors (gray/white) that the style comes in would be enough for me to choose this machine. Wish it did.
