4423

To begin, I snagged a fantastic deal for this machine. In total it was less than 140.00, delivered. That is a great price, especially for one of Singer's most reliable machines. I have been sewing for a LONG time...over 50 years, since I was just a kid, really. However, this is my first Singer, shockingly enough. This is also the first sewing machine that has given perfect stitches and smooth operation from the first moment I threaded it and started sewing with it. I'm delighted with this machine and look forward to using it until I'm too old to sew!

Great product so far! As a first-time stitcher, it had thorough instructions on how to apply the thread. Some areas, like sewing style, are not explained, so you will have to look them up online. FYI, although it is a strong machine, make sure that you have the proper needle. The needles that came with the product (4 spare ones, I believe) are not made for tougher materials like jeans, and they will bend or snap. It is a hefty item, but nothing too heavy for what it can do!

I have only had the machine a week, but I know what quality is. I read as many reviews as possible before any purchase - anything over $30 I do that anyway. The multi-lingual "document" that arrives with the machine really isn't much help, for the beginner or the experienced. Other than repeat warnings to not leave it plugged in when not in use, it is mainly safety stuff. (Keep your fingers away from the needle! Simple and basic) The threading diagram and bobbin winding diagrams were a help, but the threading pathways are labeled on the machine. I have almost 50 years of experience with Singer and other sewing machines so I did not need much tutoring. A troubleshooting guide, like what came with my last machine would have been nice, but really its easier to YouTube how-to and the troubleshooting anyway. I was glad to read INTHE REVIEWS that the type of bobbin that this model 4423 takes- a clear plastic class 15 bobbin. NOT 15J, only class 15. Not metal. The machine came with one bobbin as the top thread and one inserted properly in the bobbin case, plus 2 spare. Be sure to check the stitch width and other settings before you start. Use zero for the width (mine was set at 4, don't use that) The center little indicator for the other 2 dials is best left alone (tension, etc) at the midpoint that is indicated by a TINY arrow. When you do sew, just like some other machines, hang onto your thread ends as you begin to sew, particularly if you are starting at a corner. If the threads get balled up under there, it's a mess. My mother's 1970's Singer machine used to do the same thing. It becomes a balled-up mess under there. It sews over thick seams like blue jeans have and does well. I did break a needle already- but I was replacing the zipper in my jeans and it was the last set of tack stitches at the bottom. I have only ONCE successfully sewn across in that area without breaking the needle, so no news there. Last piece of advice- practice on scraps so you can get a feel for using the foot pedal first! That thing is lightweight, and sensitive too. 0 to 60 in a leap! This is my 4th machine in 40 years, but I sew a lot and mend a lot. (Not made like they used to be made, but nothing is.) Nice touch to include a lightweight dust cover, and the right tools. I rate it overall 4.5 stars.

Easy to use, heavy duty operating, lightweight, the machine reminds me of using my mom's old Singer machine (1970-80s) & in middle school home economics yes guys can sew (lol). It can sew through heavy material I used the machine to fix my work sweatshirt, I still need practice using the machine although the stiches held for over a week while working removing trees & tree limbs at work. I would have giving this product a 5 it didn't come with an instruction manual it came with how to install thread on the bobbin & warranty info, I had to use University of You Tube for machine operations & refresh my memory on sew machine operations its been 5 years since I used a sewing machine, very good product.

I just purchased this Singer 4423 Heavy Duty sewing machine and have only had it for a couple of days. I will use it for doing simple repairs on clothing. I'm a 67 year old man and have never used a sewing machine before, so I can only attest to the machine being easy to setup and operate. I did have some problems with the bobbin thread balling up in its compartment, but that was due to bad thread. Once I purchased good quality thread that problem was solved. The instructions that shipped with the machine were pretty sparse, but I downloaded the manual from Singer's website, plus several videos on YouTube that detailed the proper maintenance and operation of this particular model sewing machine. Only time will tell if this machine holds up over the next few years. My best advice is to experiment, be patient, read the manual thoroughly and take advantage of the many resources available on the internet for this machine! Update --- Since receiving this sewing machine I have sewn nylon webbing, leather and other thick fabrics!! I just repaired a cellphone case and this machine went through two thin layers of leather and a cardboard insert! I just love this sewing machine and hope it holds up for a few years!! UPDATE: 08/09/2021 Well, I've had this Singer 4423 sewing machine for a few months now and still love it! As I previously mentioned, I'm a novice when it comes to sewing!! Since my initial review, I have sewn several pot holders, aprons and have now completed 3 Hawaiian shirts, 1 work shirt and am currently working on 2 western shirts! I must admit I have experienced many of the problems other users have complained about, but these were solved by simply taking the time to read the manual and doing a little research on the internet. This is a simple and reliable machine and if you take the time to do your homework it will serve you well though many projects!! Update 02/13/2023: I've had this little Singer 4423 HD for almost 2 years now and can't say enough good things about it. I have sewn everything from quilting cotton, to denim and even some light leather with this machine and it has never let me down. I believe this machine is the best unit at its price point! Update 10/06/2024: Well, I've had this machine now for almost 4 years. I can't say enough good things about this Singer 4323HD sewing machine. I've run both light and heavy fabrics and materials, the latest being heavy Cordura, through this machine and it has given me perfect stitches every time! I must admit however, that I'm pretty anal about cleaning and properly maintaining my equipment. This little machine just keeps performing beyond my expectations for its price point!!

I was hesitant to leave a review, as I'm so woefully ignorant of the sewing arts and the black magics of how sewing machines work; but then I thought my inexperience might help others out, so here goes. Despite having a family who sewed, and many friends who made costumes for Ren Faire and comic/ gaming conventions, no amount of begging or pleading has ever gotten one of these lousy #%&!'s to teach me how to use a sewing machine. However, as is wont from time to time (and especially for one who engages in crafting of all sorts), I have found myself in need of joining two pieces of fabric together, preferably in a manner that doesn't look like a sugar-high child with a glue-stick did the affixing. Therefore, at three different times in my life, I've determined to learn how to operate one of these machines, or die trying (or, well... go naked trying!) First was a cheap Singer I bought new some 20-years ago. I don't recall much about it, or the model number... again, 20 years ago... except that I could never get it to work. And by "work" I mean I never managed to even get a straight stitch on scrap fabric. The machine was fine, as a friend made a gloriously beautiful cloak on it for me, but I couldn't get the hang of it. The second time was two years ago, when I borrowed another friend's Bernini that was so old, the user's manual read like those "Good Housekeeping" articles we all laugh and make fun of now, complete with women wearing pearls and heels while sewing. That time I managed to complete a couple of small projects, though not very cleanly and not without breaking dozens of needles. Third time's a charm! I bought this Singer 4423 because, once again, I found myself needing to merge nylon straps together, and there was no other option. So emboldened by my success with the old Bernini, I took the plunge... and am really glad I did! Again, I must warn you, I'm not doing anything fancy, so far just straight stitching straps together... but this machine has been a breeze to set up and operate. The quick start guide had me spooled up and sewing within minutes of taking it out of the box. Threading the machine is incredibly easy for idiots like me because each step is numbered ON THE MACHINE!!! Never once had to refer back to the owner's manual when changing thread! Three tries on some tiny nylon straps to figure out where my tension needed to be set, and I was off and running after that. If people didn't know any better, it actually looked like I knew what I was doing! The one common complaint that had me worried before ordering was that people complained that the pedal was too sensitive. Well, again, I've only ever used two machines other than this one, but the pedal sensitivity and speed on the 4423 is no different than either of those older machines. I don't think anybody who learned on an older machine will have any problems here. (Am I saying that if I can modulate speed just fine, then others can too? Yes, yes I am). I am pleased with this machine. Very idiot-proof, durable enough that I spent today sewing strap after strap, and never once broke a needle or snapped a thread. Did what I asked of it, and now I'm more confident in seeing what else I can learn and get it to do.

My wife loves it works amazing a new machine with all that she needs, she now is sewing multiple pieces and patterns even comes with dust cover😄😍

I have had a second hand machine for years that never worked properly, the tensions couldn't be balanced, the speed was difficult to control. I learned how to sew on my mother's Singer and I longed to get one for myself, but back then sewing machines were more expensive and I didn't sew enough to justify it. I sewed less after fighting with mine for so long. Plus my mother had eventually replaced hers with another brand with a lot of fancy stitches. She used it for a couple of years but began to sew less as it started giving her a lot of trouble. She eventually dug out her 30+ year old Singer and began sewing again. I read several of the reviews of a few machines and I was convinced that getting a Singer was still what I wanted for several reasons. One is that Singer machines' thread tensions are more reliable. Many other machines have the thread go from spool to needle through no more than 4 catches. This Singer and most others I've seen have 7. Similarly the bobbin thread is held better as well. This keeps thread control and tension more consistent. I read some reviews for this machine saying they had problems straight out of the box or after only a short time. It makes me wonder 2 things - whether they changed settings like tensions before starting to sew on a scrap to get used to the machine or whether they purchased from a marketplace seller. The first thing I did was to thread the machine with standard thread and leave all settings as is (I wasn't going to need to anyway unless I didn't like where they were set after using it) then I ran a scrap through the machine to see how it felt. What a dream! It was quiet, it was easy to control the speed (it didn't jump from 0 to 60 like other non-Singers I've used), and the stitches were beautiful. The thread tensions were perfectly balanced. After practicing with it a little I began my project and was off and running without having to stop and unsnarl thread or struggle with thread tensions that wouldn't stay set. I can't understand how much trouble some people seemed to be having. One thing I mention here, I purchased the 4423 because I wanted a machine that could handle heavy fabrics, and had a variety of stitches for basic products. I didn't need 100 types of stitches or a computer for a sewing machine. I am fine with the basics. If I decide to put someone's name on a project, I'll embroider it by hand. I don't do all that much sewing any more. I do really wish I had replaced my hunk-o-junk 20 years ago right after my sister-in-law traded me for the machine I had inherited from her mother - it didn't work all to well either but she didn't like her 'new' machine. I found out why. I also wonder whether some people who wrote bad reviews purchased their machines from the marketplace. I have purchased some items from there when needed, but I and others have had problems with using them. Primarily in their definition of the word "new". If someone returns an item within the 30 days or whatever and claims it is in new condition some sellers don't check the contents to confirm. Instead they sell it to the next person. So blankets arrive not factory packaged and with obvious stains on them. The purchaser returned it because they didn't like something about it, hadn't broken it but had definitely taken it out of the box and used it. Why the seller didn't examine the blanket to be assured it was in new condition I can't say. But I say buyer beware if they buy from the marketplace and not from Amazon. Some marketplace sellers sell their own products so don't fall under this category, others are just retailers shipping through Amazon. Some aren't very professional. Don't blame the product without first being sure that you didn't purchase one of these "new" products that had actually been a return that should have been marked "like new". And don't twiddle with it before seeing how it performs straight out of the box! All I can say is I LOVE this machine. It works almost exactly as my mom's old Singer. Singer has kept to the old adage that if it ain't broke don't fix it. Their basic machines are virtually unchanged from one's produced 50+ years ago. Oh they look different, but that's just like putting on a new dress, the person in the dress is the same. Sure they have the more advanced machines, ones they pioneered. But even those are built on top of the old reliable machine. If you have a problem that is a defect, find out right away and get a replacement. Don't wait on any purchase, sewing machine or other items, to try it out to see if it is in working order then blame Singer for not replacing it. Every company can produce a defective product that made it through quality control. It is up to the buyer to do their own checking to be sure they got a product in full working order. These sewing machines now are so much less expensive that even if you do get one that breaks down, purchasing a new one does not burn a hole in your wallet. 20 years ago some of the machines I looked at would have cost $1000! Be happy you aren't shelling that out and getting the junk I've been using that cost $850! And it is just as basic as the one I just purchased! And a word for beginners - yes there is a manuel and yes it's easy to learn on. Even without the manuel someone with minimal experience can easily see how the different features work. They are clearly labeled. Anyone having problems has never used a Singer or other machine that isn't complicated to use. They look for complexity where there is simplicity. I have only had this machine a short time, but I can say that even if it starts giving me some trouble, it would have to literally break to be as bad as what I've been using. I wish I had talked my mother into giving me her old Singer! But I feel as if I just did. The color is different, but it's the same machine.

It is a very beautiful, easy to use, strong, and good quallity machine. I just love it

I'm not an experienced sewer. This is the first time I've ever used a sewing machine so take this review with a grain of salt. At first I thought I would never learn how to thread this machine but I watched a video on youtube by a guy named kevinsews who has almost the identical machine. He went through the setup process in a very clear way and now I'm able to thread it in my sleep. You just have to pay attention to where the thread goes and that will help to eliminate any problems. So far I've used it to sew some of my work pants, repairing and modifying them. I've also added breast pockets to some of my work shirts. My wife has used this machine to sew some pouches for our daughter. My wife has a bit more experience with a sewing machine than me, but not much. The thing we realized was, you have to find the correct setting for the type of material you are sewing. The pouches my wife made are a stretchy fabric while my works pants are not. Once you have the correct setting the stitches come out nice. It was a bit frustrating at first but now I've got it down to know how much foot and thread pressure to use. This seems like a powerful machine. I was able to sew over the seams of my pants and it didn't slow it down. I like the reverse function. I use it to strengthen the beginning and ending of the seams. The foot pedal control can be a bit tricky when you are first starting. A lot of the time, just as I get it going, I'll try to start slowly but end up putting too much pressure on the pedal and the machine will sew too fast. Once it is going though I have more control over it. Also, like many people have said, the wire from the machine to the foot pedal is too short. I've been looking for another, older model of Singer foot pedal to maybe replace this one. Since this is my first sewing machine I can't compare it to other models or brands but I am giving it a 5 start as both my wife and I have had a very positive experience with this machine. When I first started looking for machines I was expecting to pay at least double if not triple the price of this one. For the price it's been a good investment. The pouches my wife makes for our daughter are to hold her insulin pump. Before we had this sewing machine my wife bought a few and with shipping almost came out to the same price as this machine. I would not hesitate to recommend this sewing machine to family and friends, which we have.

Es mi primera máquina, llevo un mes con ella, todo ha ido de maravilla, espero así siga, la compré por el precio y la marca, adicional al ser un producto muy comercial encuentro muchos videos cuando tengo dudas en su funcionamiento. Hace todas sus funciones correctamente como ojal, enhebrado automático, llena la bobina sin ninguna complicación, ya hice la puntada overlock, zigzag, recta y todo bien, es muy intuitiva.

Maravillosa, me sirve muchísimo, la amo
