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!

Bad Experience

I am a guy and am new to sewing. I was attracted to this machine because it said heavy duty and wasn't covered in flowers or pastel colors. I wanted simple and dependable, what I got was knots, knots and more knots; all on the first day. The manual is very basic and no real help. I've done some reading online and tried some of the fixes but I've decided to take it back while I still can.

Just Learnin'

As a retired basic beginner who is SLOWLY remodeling a home, I found a Singer machine online that would allow me to work at my own pace and save money. My initial objective was to create cafe curtains and valences and I discovered that by sewing my own would pay off the machine after only sewing a few sets (and I have many to do). The 'rating' may increase as I become more familiar with the Singer 4411, but right now it seems to be the ideal machine to begin on.the

Easy Beginning

I have found the 4411 very easy to use, and the instructions in the manual easy to follow. I have made two(2) Capes, one pair of pants and two shirts so far, along with repairs to socks, pants and shirts. The machine has proformed perfectly and sew a drape which had a gather open. For my first sewing experience this machine is wonderful.
