Not what I expected

This machine is okay for some basic every day sewing. However, I sew for long periods of time. This machine is not made for that. First, in every Singer machine I have bought, I have to fix the bottom tension. The factory settings just don't work. After long periods of use, the timing will start to go out. I have to stop using it for almost the rest of the day before I can start using it again. It does do pretty great with layers! Thick layers too!

Very Disappointed

I loved this machine for the first 10 hours I sewed on it with my Mom who has sewn for over 40 years. Then the bobbin jammed up and it hasn't worked since :( I tried to call the customer service center multiple times with no success. We just don't understand what went wrong and now cannot get an answer from Singer as to how to get it fixed or get a new machine.

Broke in 8 months

I bought this machine to use for daily sewing. I don't think it was made for that much use. The death of the machine happened 8 months after I got it when I dropped the feed dogs, they would not come back up. I have seen others comment on the same problem. So, just don't ever drop the feed, and you should be okay...but it's a feature that SHOULD work if it's on the machine. Not a very good machine, quality wise either.

I love it. I was pleasantly surprised to see that with this machine you have the ability to set your own width and length AND the needle can change positions. I found that some of the new machines have only the preset stitches and you do not have the option to change the width or the length. I have been very happy with this machine and it is heavy duty. I have no trouble sewing thru heavy materials. I LOVE this machine!!!

Bought the machine 3 days ago wanted to use for heavy duty material sewing. Took the machine out of box, then changing the needle to a heavy sewing one. The needle would not stay inside holder. Noticed the screw pin was broke. Took the machine back to JoAnn Fabrics in Redwing MN, where I bought the machine. Would not exchange or refund my money!!! JoAnn does not stand behind there vender, " Singer" and "Singer" will not Stand behind JoAnn Fabrics. Very upset. Where is our customer service?

Don't waste your money on this model!

I bought this model 4411 for my adult daughter for her birthday. She is a beginnning sewer and I thought this would be a good basic "heavy duty" model to begin with. We have had nothing but trouble with it since I gave it to her. I have had 40 years of experience with sewing and have owned a Singer myself for 25 years. My daughter wanted to learn how to sew and we began with a project for curtains made out of bedsheets. Nothing heavy duty there. Within 5 hours of sewing with this model the thread tangled and the machine would not pick up the bobbin thread - the timing went out. So I had that fixed. Then it kept making "thread bouquets" and there would be multiple threads at once in the bobbin case and the machine would get stuck. So I had that fixed. When I used it again to test it after being "fixed", lo and behold, more thread bouquets. In other words multiple tangles of threads on the underside of the two layers of fabric. This machine is less than a year old, has been used less than 10 hours, has been fixed twice, and is still not sewing correctly. And yes, I am experienced and know how to put in bobbins and how to thread a machine correctly. This is the last Singer machine I will ever purchase! I need a new machine myself and will look for a different brand. Would definitely not recommend Singer anymore. Piece of poorly made junk in my experienced opinion!

Great, Easy Machine

I am new to sewing and chose this machine because it is what I'm familiar with in my sewing class. I had a little trouble getting it started right out of the box- the needle that came in the machine was not properly lined up, so when I started sewing, the needle broke. The tip flew up, nearly hit me in the eye, and the other part of the needle was stuck in the machine. I replaced the needle, ensured it was lined up, and started sewing almost immediately. I did wear safety goggles at first just to make sure if the needle broke again, it couldn't fly into my eye. I was pretty upset that the needle that came with the machine and was seemingly in place- really wasn't. Other than that initial incident, I'm very happy with my machine. It is the only machine I've ever (which is why I gave this 4 stars) used, so I don't have anything to compare it to, but it gets the job done!
