SINGER® 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!

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.

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!

There are a lot of reviews here of people frustrated with the Singer 4423. I was going to purchase this machine back in November, as I needed a machine to handle automotive upholstery and other heavy fabrics. I hesitated on buying because of less then stellar reviews. An Amazon lightening deal changed my mind, as the price was under $100. I received my item well packaged and expediently (thanks Amazon). The directions that come with it are not great, but get the basics covered. I utilized the internet for more detailed instruction, and well as for video guidance. After using the sewing machine for several hours, I too became frustrated. So much so, that I initiated a return. It seems I could not get the thread tension correct, and I would end up with tons of bobbin jams. Nobody wants their bobbin in a jam. After sleeping on it (not literally), I researched more on the internet. I found a few tips that not only helped, my project turned out great and I was able to use the 4423 effectively. My Tips: 1. Use the felt bobbin spacer if the bobbin is racking in the bobbin case. 2. Important. Use only the plastic - not metal - bobbins. 3. Make sure you thread correctly. Thread tension is critical and is managed at loops #3, #4, and #5. When threading, be sure to give a slight tug to ensure the thread has seated into the blind tensioner. Also don't forget to run the thread behind the guide #6. 4. This might seem obvious, but be sure to drop the presser foot. It's easy to forget especially when setting up thicker fabrics/upholstery. If you forget, you'll know soon enough, by having a mess under the fabric on the bobbin side. 5. Practice with the foot control. It launches from 0 to 60 in a split second. I'd like to find a way of better control here, as fine control is challenging. 6. Use the correct needle size. Mine shipped with a 90/14 which is good for many things, but I recommend a 100 for thicker stuff, like chihuahuas and small pets. Just kidding about that small pet crack. I gave this machine 5 stars solely because for the money (<$100), it was a no-brainer. I'd give it 4 stars if priced in the usual $125- $150 range. It's not perfect, as the foot control is too sensitive (like my wife). But it is a well made piece of equipment that CAN handle heavy fabrics. It went through 6 layers of vinyl upholstery as well as plastic piping, without struggle. I did find that best results were obtained when the needle is started manually in the thicker, multi-layered fabrics. Stitch patterns seemed to work okay, but I only did some messing around with them, just to see if they worked. I really only used the straight, and zig-zag with frequency. One other thing, the machine is light, which is good and bad. Good, as it's easy to transport, but bad as it will move when pushing heavy stock through it. Use a rubber mat, or better yet an appropriate table.

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
