Heavy Duty 4423 (Grey) High Speed Sewing Machine + Accessories | 23 Built-In Stitches Deliver 97 Stitch Applications | 50% More Power, 1100 Stitches/Min | Metal Frame, 1-Step Buttonhole

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!

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.

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.

I bought this machine because I had an older Singer Sonata (looks like it may have come out in the 80's) that was acting up. It seemed like it was time to replace or repair it. Sadly, repairs would've cost $100 or up, and after looking around at new sewing machines, it seemed prudent to just get a new one. So, after looking around, I settled on trying out the Singer 4411 despite it having a less than stellar review average. I like the fact that the 4411 is a manual machine (call me a control freak!) and that it's heavy duty. I don't use my sewing machine for a whole lot except hemming blue jeans and the occasional pillowcase repair, so I really just needed a solid dependable basic machine. When I first got my sewing machine in the mail and took it out of the box, I noticed that the needle didn't seem to be properly centered. This freaked me out quite a bit. Was my new machine already flawed?! Well, no. I discovered that you need to set the stitch width dial to zero for straight stitches. This moved the needle to it's normal center position. This is mentioned NOWHERE in the manual. Speaking of the manual...it's not too good. It's very "basic" (read: lacking), and frankly, if I didn't already know a fair bit about sewing machines, I'd be very confused. First off, you need Class 15 bobbins for this machine (which it seems to come with) but this isn't mentioned anywhere in the manual that I could see (it is on the side of the box though). Also, the needle clamp screw was tightened insanely (I had to use pliers to get it to loosen up), and the manual appears to tell you to move it the wrong direction to loosen it. Turn it TOWARDS you to loosen. Also, in case it isn't clear in the needle threading section, you need to loop the thread through that last little spot right next to the needle (I have an older machine that has a very similar threading procedure, so I recognized this pretty quickly, but others might not notice it since it's very subtle). Once you actually get the machine figured out, it seems to work quite well. I wound a bobbin perfectly, with no problems. I threaded the needle with no problems as well. All the wheels and knobs seem to work with no problems. I will mention that the light bulb is very dim, so you'll want to work under your own lamp. That's not really a big deal though. The very first thing I tested the machine on was some thick cotton, about 3 layers thick. Not a particularly difficult thing, but it had some seams in areas that made it quite a bit thicker (more like 6 layers thick in those areas). The machine ran right over them with no problems. I didn't notice the machine being particularly noisy or anything (but maybe I'm used to sewing machines making noise). Next, I put it to a more challenging task, sewing two layers of ½ inch thick batting onto comforter fabric. It did well enough, but you may need to loosen the tension a bit if you are having problems. I haven't really tested the button hole maker (don't need to use it) but I did try out some of the fancy stitches that came with it. Honestly, out of the few provided, only one looked decent. So, this truly isn't a machine for anyone who needs more than the basic straight and zigzag stitches. As for the accessories that came with it, they seem fine enough. The bobbins appear to be Class 15 (as needed but not specified). Also, you should be aware that even though it appears to come with different needles, all the needles that came with mine were medium size, so if you need another size, you're going to need to buy some separately. Not much to say about the rest, other than that the seem ripper seems a little dull... Overall, this is a good machine, and seems solid. As for it's label of "heavy duty" I'd say it might be a bit of a stretch. I haven't actually put it to the test, but judging from other reviewers, it isn't truly "heavy duty". If you just need to hem some jeans, it should work fine though. Really, I'd recommend this machine to anyone who just needs a cheaper basic level machine of decent quality (just ignore the "heavy duty" part and you'll be fine). If you're like me and just need a machine to hem a few pants and make a few pillowcases, this'll take care of your needs just fine! *Note: The first machine I bought was defective - the tension would not tighten no matter how much I turned the knob and the bobbin would wind all unevenly. I returned it to Amazon and had it replaced with a new unit (the one I have now) and this one seems to work just fine. This review is actually for the second machine I received, so if you get one that doesn't perform properly, be aware that it could be defective, and don't give up on it just yet!

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 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.

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 bought this machine because I needed something that will handle heavy duty fabric such as denim, and also has just enough bells and whistles for the sewing that I want to do. So far, I am really liking the machine although it was difficult to understand some of the instruction in the manual. I read through the book and started trying it out. I liked the idea of the self threading needle. I was unsuccessful the first day that I got the machine, so I went to Youtube and watched some videos on how to do it. Somehow I was missing something and the needle wasn't threading. The next day, I tried again and also reread the instruction and looked at You Tube again. This time I realized that there was supposed be a small hook that should have gone into the eye of the needle, but just couldn't find the little hook. So I tried again without success, then looked for the hook at more of an angle instead of straight on and could see a little tiny hook. From there, I realized that sometimes the tiny hook would not go into the needle hole, but on the outside of the needle. I just moved it around and could see the little hook through the needle hole. From there, I had no problem. I also had a little trouble with with the buttonholer, but found that I have to set each of the dials for making the buttonhole. on the stitch dial, be sure to select the buttonhole; on the stitchlength dial, select the buttonhole located between 1 and 0 stitchlength; on the top of the machine select "6" for the stitchwidth. Once I did all three of these things I had no problem. Don't forget to pull down the buttonhole tab. Makes great buttonholes. Please remember that in most cases, there may be something done if the machine doesn't sew properly. For example, If the machine isn't threaded properly, you will get looping and jamming on the underside of the fabric. If it isn't the machine top threading, you should check to see if the bobbin is threaded properly of that the bobbin is turning counterclockwise. Also it helps to keep the beginning thread toward the back of the back of the machine bed, pulled toward the right. Just check these things one at a time until the machine stitches properly. Hope this helps. I did make a fleecy pillow case, and it worked well (my old machine didn't handle layer too well). The price was wonderful!!! I am really looking forward to using this machine, and yes, I will do some denim, to. My son wants me to take up some jeans (hope it handles the waistband and beltloop layers. My husband wants me to repair some worn spots on his work jeans (that should be easy). May also so some quilting. Before I ordered, the price through Amazon market was around $134. I would have had free shipping and tax added around $137. The next day I found that the price had dropped to $124 +tax and free shipping. The confirmation email said to expect it to be delivered between 12/19 and 12/21. When I tracked it, it said I would get it on 12/13...really fast delivery. I will update this posting later if I can remember. Thanks Amazon!

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
