SINGER Heavy Duty 4411 High Speed Sewing Machine with Accessory Kit | Strong Motor with Enhanced Piercing Power, 69 Stitch Applications, Full Metal Frame, 4-Step Buttonhole & LED Light, Grey

I purchased this machine a year ago but just finally got time to sit down and do a project with it. I am an absolute beginner sewer but I have had no problems with learning how to use this machine. I studied the manual and each part of the machine and learned how each part works and how to adjust the machine. I then purchased a couple of easy beginner books on sewing which I will also review (Sew Everything Workshop by Diana Rupp and Me and My Sewing Machine by Kate Haxell and they were both great books-I highly recommend them for learning how to sew) From those books, I learned about sewing machines, fabric, notions, using the correct needle for the type of fabric and using/reading patterns. I write all of this to illustrate that I am a complete beginner but I did take three days to read and educate myself before using the machine so that any problems I had with the Singer would be easily identified as either me or the machine. In sewing several very easy, straight stitch projects (nothing fancy like zippers, button holes, pleating or elastic) I had no problems at all. The machine is easy to thread and I had no problems with thread breakage or tension or fabric bunching. It sewed the way that it is supposed to and is very fast and powerful. For the first time (I have used very bad machines before and it chased me away from continuing to learn to sew--I am talking about you ELGIN!) I really enjoyed sewing and with this machine I want to continue to learn and make sewing a regular hobby and skill. I can recommend this product completely. I usually only write reviews for outstanding products and this is one. I also wanted to counter some of the reviews that were bad as I could tell from the problems described that the writer was more at fault for not taking the time to learn the machine and read the manual than the machine itself being at fault barring anyone who just happened to receive a possible lemon off of the production line which I know can happen with any product. So, if you are a beginner wanting to learn to sew and want an easy, basic machine at an excellent price (I paid $119.00 a year ago) with not a lot of frills which as a beginner you won't need or use much, this is the machine. Use this machine to learn and learn well and then maybe graduate to something fancier if you really progress in your skills. Thank you, Singer, for a great product at a good price!

This machine is exactly what I wanted! While it's marketed as a no-frills, heavy duty machine, the fact that it can still do lots of different things is a great. It reminds me of the old Singers...mechanical wonders meant to last. It sews beautifully, is very straightforward to learn, and is much quieter than I thought a machine could be. I looked at lots of machines, much more expensive than this one, and they all had such mixed reviews I couldn't make a decision. Then this one popped up in my feed and I checked it out on several different sites...all good reviews. Because of the price, I decided to take a chance, and I'm very glad I did. This has been a great machine, and I couldn't be happier. The machine seems to go through both thin and thick fabric equally well. I've used it for thin cottons as well as barkcloth, both layered over several times for French seams, and the machine just sailed through without a hitch. I don't sew stretchy knits, so can't speak to the handling of those. The LED work light could be a little brighter, but it does seem adequate. I wondered about the horizontal thread spool holder, but it actually works very well. The only thing that I wonder about is that the actual spindle that holds the spool is plastic, and I make myself be mindful of it when changing threads so as not to break it. It doesn't seem extremely fragile, it's just that the machine would not work without it, and I don't want to take a chance! Winding bobbins is easy enough, and there's a diagram printed right on the top of the machine to make sure you thread it properly (easy). I do have to say that I stop the bobbins before fully wound, as they seem to over-fill a bit before popping off and stopping. It's not a big deal, it's just that they seem to do better in the machine if they're not over-filled. Inserting the bobbin is easy, just be careful to get the thread going through properly. Again, the printed diagram right on the bobbin cover helps with that. The bobbin sits in the machine horizontally, and the cover is clear plastic, so you can see how much thread is left on it...very handy! This machine is, I think, worth more than its price. I've had it for several months now, using it semi-daily, and have had no problems. It was nice to get something that does have enough choices to cover any basic sewing needs (zigzag, satin, straight, stretch, buttonhole, etc.), but a pleasant surprise that most of it is intuitive, has a short learning curve, and the manual was NOT an inch thick. Add in the fact that it is one of the more affordable machines out there, and I think it's a definite winner.

So far I am really loving this sewing machine. The first think I should mention is I am total sewing noob (newbie, as in, Im new to sewing.) So I know very little about sewing machines. But as a beginner I feel like this a good machine to start with. I did struggle a little with the instructions, but a quick Google search solved that problem. Once I figured out how to use it, it wasn't so hard to do. I haven't done anything really big with it, but I've practiced threading it and just sewing different stitches. I should mention its pretty heavy. I can't tell you how it compares to other machines, but I suspect it's slightly heavier, hence the "Heavy Duty" in the title. From what I can tell so far it's got a very good speed. It actually went a little faster than I wanted at first, but it's fine now. I love the colors and the pattern on the machine as well. I won't lie and say it's cheap, but based on some of the prices I saw for other machines, it's a pretty value for the money spent.

My wife just love the pink. Very nice machine works well.

Tek memnum olmadığım bir aksesuarı var . Saklama örtüsü. Onun harici bana göre kusursuz bir alet. Çok memnunum.

Eine wirklich hervorragende Nähmaschine. Einfach zu bedienen (auch für Anfänger), näht sehr zuverlässig und ist für Fehler nicht anfällig. Meiner Meinung nach ist die Sensibilität des Pedals optimal und auch für kurze Nähte oder am Rad gut, wenn man eben sacht drückt. Ich würde sie jederzeit wieder kaufen (aber ich habe ja jetzt schon eine, die nicht so wirkt, als würde sie bald den Geist aufgeben).

Great machine but comes with USA plug and registration will not allow you to enter UK details, (phone number, postcode so not sure how to register

Produkten kommer tyv ärr med en brittisk elkontakt för 110 volt. Går ej att använda i Sverige eller andra länder med 220 volts-system.

Thrilled , arrived undamaged , always a concern these days , Exactly as shown , in a pretty subtle pink color , I unpacked it , plugged it in to test it and voila it runs smoothly . I've been sewing for a very long time since i was a teenaager,, and i highly recommend it . I've not made anything yet but soon , My old one is still working , so it will be donated . ty
