Not the right machine for me. I assumed heavy duty meant ability to handle heavy duty sewing. In my short time using the machine, it was more industrial than heavy duty. Not easy to thread the bobbin, foot lever on back (prefer side), and the hand wheel was stiff and required additional pull. One other item I wasn’t fond of, when stopping the needle would stop instantly - not finish the stitch. This required more physical use of the hand wheel. I have bad wrists and elbows dour was a deal breaker for me. On the upside, it was well built and heavy.
Though the 4411 only just arrived it was easy to set up and sew a mending project in 15 minutes. Happy with the purchase.

We are so grateful for your 5-star rating. We count ourselves lucky to have customers like you. Please let us know what we can do for you in the future.
I had not sewn for 25 years and no longer had a machine. I had a few projects to take out for repairs and thought that with this heavy duty machine I could do the repairs. This machine certainly stitched thru the multi layers of outdoor curtain material with ease. I love this machine and really don’t need any more than the basic stitches...I have recommended this to many but they are currently not available...I’m so fortunate to have mine.
I would recommend this to a friend!
