Awesome Sewing Machine

I researched so many different sewing machines before finally selecting the Singer 4411 Heavy Duty. I didn't want a machine that was so complicated I needed to spend hours and hours learning how to use it. This model is perfect for me. Very user friendly. I'm so thrilled with this sewing machine.
I needed to sew some pretty heavy wicker fabric to redo my sling style patio furniture. I borrowed the neighbors machine, and it took several hours to sew one sling. It just wasn't cutting it, so I went online, and ordered this HD 4411. Now I will probably never use it again, but at least I have it if I need it, and I know that no matter what the job, this machine will breeze right through it. I was able to finish 8 more slings in about 90 minutes. If it can handle that fabric as easily as it did, then it should handle just about anything. Even if I never use it again, it was well worth the price just by saving me the headache of plodding through the job with an unfit machine.
I previously owned a Husqvarna with all the bells and whistles you could buy for it for about 10 years. It was so heavy to put up on my table you needed help and it was so complicated that almost every time I used it I had to get the manual out. The manual itself was horrible. I love this little machine. There are so many little genius things right on the machine itself like threading directions, bobbin thread direction and winding, etc. It's user friendly and I can lift it with one hand. When I think what I spent on my previous machine and what I spent on this one, I have learned a valuable lesson. This one is a little power house and I've owned it for almost a year and love it more each time I use it.
Love this machine. Very easy to thread and to fill bobbins. I made a very beautiful flannel rag quilt with this machine, and it worked beautifully. It takes the thickness of materials I put through it as if it was nothing. I really enjoy working with this machine.
Like: easy to operate, reasonable instruction manual, reliable stitching, fine on straight seams. Dislike: definitely mislabelled as "heavy duty"- almost every start needs a handwheel assist, and it stalls easily on slowing speed for curves and corners.
I bought it recently and so far sewing good. Sometimes I have some problem sewing but I read the manual and find a solution to fix it. I made some nice blankets and some alterations.
i just got the 4411 and i am in love with it, singer is standing up to its great name with this machine, i sew every day and it has eliminated the sewing frustration i had with my other non singer machine, thank you singer for such a great product.
This machine has done very well! I'm using it with 9oz canvas for large curtain panels and it has performed very well. Don't over-tighten the thumb screw holding the needle in! There should be a warning about this in the book, you'll break the needle. Overall a very good machine!
