This is a very solid, strong machine, basic and works very well. I have not yet figured out the stirching settings but I appreciaTE THE SIMPLICITY OF THE OPTIONS, THE MECHANICAL WAY ALL THE FEATURESS WORK AS OPPOSED TO THE MACHINES WITH ALL THE COMPUTERIZED, FLIMSY PLASTIC FEATURES THAT ARE WEAK AND PRONE TO MLAFUNCTION. tHE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT THEY ARE SHOWING IT WITH A NEEDLE THREADER AND NOT ONLY DOES IT NOT HAVE A NEEDLE THRE4Ader it can't even be added and Amazon Singer refuses any compensation after it is purchased. That is pure dishonesty and it is not possible to speak to a human at Amazon about the issue. Their AI chat admits they know about this issue but do nothin g about it. For this I have lost faith in Amazon.

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!

I love this machine, it glides through stitches like a hot knife through butter. The feeder teeth give good traction and move the material through the machine perfectly.Even jean material. I had a 25 year old Kenmore sewing machine before I bought this one. I had never tried a singer machine before. My mother who went to school for sewing, at the fashion institute of New York, says that Singer is an excellent brand. So I bought this one after reading a lot of Amazons reviews and talking to her. I used to have such a hard time taking up jean pants on my Kenmore. Whenever I would get to the seam on the jeans, I would have to turn the needle manually, while hold the presser foot in the furtherest up position. This machine went right over the jean seams like it was not even there. It didn't get stuck, it didn't slow down, it didn't even sound strained at all. It just plowed right through it, like a champ. Love it. I love the fact that it does not have one of those computer screens on it as well. Those are annoying. This machine is easy to use, once you read the manual. I sat down and read the manual in about 45 minutes, from cover to cover. The manual has clear pictures and step by step instructions for threading the machine. Once I followed the instructions it was a piece of cake. This machine also has the option to turn off the feeding teeth. Which is new. My last machine did not have that option and I could see that being a useful feature. The thread spool sits on it side instead of upright which was new to me as well. One thing I had a momentarily problem with was, the spools thread holder slot on the top of the spool, caught the thread and then caused the thread to break mid sewing. If you encounter this problem turn the spool around and it solves the problem. The machine uses standard bobbins so I am able to use all my bobbins from my old machine which was nice. However all of my pressure feet from my old machine do not fit on this model. The needle size on this machine is 90/14, if you were wondering what size you need for this model.The adjustment dials on the machine are solid and well made. I am very happy with my purchase and hope this machine will last me for years to come. I will tell everyone I know who sews about this great machine. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I just received the following product question about the warranty on this model. "How long is the warranty of this machine? And if this product need to be shipped to Australia, can I get the warranty in Australia then?" Here is my answer. I just pulled out the warranty info on this machine, to look at, so I can answer your questions. The paper work says that it has a 25 year Limited Warranty. It says that the Sewing machine head is covered for 25 year for manufacturing defects. It has a limited 2 year warranty on the Motors, light assembly, wiring, switches, speed control and electronic components. It has a 90 day warranty on adjustments, belts, rings , bulbs and attachments. As for you second question, I do not know if Amazon or anyone else ships to Australia. You would have to go the website you wish to buy it from and try it. If they ship to your county, I would think they would allow the purchase to go through and block your purchase if they do not ship there. Your third question, can you get the warranty in Australia? Yes and no. The warranty is a contract that is legal binding that says that they will replace or repair you machine for defects. But they do not cover damage to the product. So if you or someone else or something else damages the machine (ex. tree falls on it) it is not covered. These damages could be covered home owners insurance, so check your policy. More examples of things not covered are drink spills, throwing it into a lake or dropping it. I know this because I used to be a warranty specialist at IBM (And yes, sometimes people really do throw their things into a lake.) But if your sew machine is defective they have to fix it or replace it. Here in the US they have approved repair shops in all 50 states for singer machines. I do not know if you have one where you are located. If it needs repair, you would most likely have to pay to mail it back to the US or Canada for repairs. Since this machine is so heavy, it would most likely be a better deal for you to buy a new one, then send it for repairs. If the machine is dead on arrival, send it back to Amazon, they are very good about returns and will refund you money with out much problems. Sorry I can't be more help about shipping practices, but I am just a person who bought the machine and used it. I do not work for Amazon. I do not work for anyone. I am a stay at home Mom.

I have a Pfaff quilters machine that died and needs parts. It is going to cost about double the cost of this machine to repair it. So I figured what the heck. I've been sewing since grade school in the 1960s and have used all sorts of machines. I also worked at a fabric store for a number of years. I have some advice for the beginner. Various reviews of this machine complain about some problems I thought I'd speak to here. This is a nice little machine. Initially even I had trouble with it. Discovered that the threading instruction picture in the instruction book is a bit tricky. Don't forget to thread the little bracket that is above the needle. It is step 7 in the book, but not obvious in the picture and not obvious on the machine. The thread first goes through the fairly obvious metal holder in step six, then it needs to go in that little tiny bracket, a small piece of metal that is laying on top of the needle mount. If you don't thread that, the thread will ball up underneath and mess up your sewing and lock up. I suggest stopping at a Joann Fabrics where they sell this machine and ask someone to show you if you can't find it. that's what I ended up doing. Also for the beginner, Singer machines in particular can also tangle the thread if you don't gently hold the ends at the beginning of a seam. Sometimes, it will pull the thread down into the bobbin area and lock up. This is solved simply by holding the ends for the first couple of stitches. Eventually, after you've had to rip out a few balled up seams, you remember. I made a heavy vinyl pouch with it as my first project, and it handled the vinyl really well. The feeddogs struggled a bit with the weight of the fabric, pulling it out of line, so I had to put the weight of the fabric on a chair so it didn't pull. Another tip for the beginner, always stop the machine with the needle in the fabric. You do this by stopping and quickly turning the wheel to get that needle back in the fabric. Another tip here to any new sewer. First take the original needle out of that machine and throw it away. You have no idea what kind of shape it is in. Open the packet of needles that are in the little door in the free arm and use a fresh needle. Sharp needles are critical to any project. And they only stay sharp for a few projects at most. When you are working with heavy fabric like vinyl or denim, you need to use a heavy duty needle, especially if you are going through four layers of denim. Check them out at the fabric store. Get the type of needle that matches your type of fabric. If you are not sure, ask. And sew through the thick parts very slowly, sometimes you may need to manually insert the needle and pull it up to get through a lot of layers properly to get the machine going. Take your time. Knits need different needles, sometimes, a ballpoint needle that passes between fibers instead of splitting them as you sew. Fine fabrics also need different needles and they must be very sharp. Whenever the stitching balls up under your piece, it is likely because the top or bobbin is threaded wrong. Make sure the thread is coming off the bobbin with the loose thread pointing to the left. It can be a bad needle. It can be a tension problem or a bad match between needle and fabric. If the stitches seem really tight, the tension can be turned a half number either way and solve the problem, but only after you have ruled out the other problems. IT happens to the best of us so don't get discouraged. Imagine me going into my old store to have them show me how to thread a machine. : ) Beyond all that, I liked sewing with this machine. it is relatively quiet, and does sew fast. This will be great for doing piecing for quilts. It isn't the quality of my Pfaff, which is all metal (the skin of this machine is plastic) and doesn't have a lot of fancy stitches, but it is a great value for what it does do and does execute well for all I've done so far. And perfect for a beginner sewer, or someone who only needs a machine once in awhile to hem pants or take care of odd little projects or someone like me who was going through withdrawal when her machine dies and is going to take some time to get fixed.

So far, so good. My old machine died on me in the middle of a church project. So I looked on Amazon and decided on the "heavy duty" Singer machine. Right out of the box, I could complete the project. I like the way it threads a bobbin. Threading these new machines are easy. Tension was fine with nice looking stitches. It plowed through several thicknesses of fabric. Thread did break once, but all in all finishing my project went well with this machine. Haven't tried any of the fancier stitches yet. Follow up. I made a cute tote bag with a yard of fabric and a Simplicity pattern. Machine is user friendly.

Loved my new sewing machine ! I’ve been using this brand for years , never disappointed. It’s a heavy duty machine really easy to use , the noise level I don’t think is loud it’s normal like any other sewing machine machine . You’re not going to regret it if you purchase it

I'm so happy with my new Singer! I took it out of the box around 8AM Saturday and was sewing in less than an hour. I sewed all weekend and couldn't be more pleased with my purchase. This machine replaced a very basic Singer I taught myself to sew on-- 50 years ago! It had a good run and I was afraid that having to learn a new machine would make me crazy, but it was really simple to set this one up and it works great. UPDATE: A few weeks in and I'm less happy with it. Why oh why does the machine "birdsnest" on me for no apparent reason? In a way, I miss using my old Singer where you could easily get "under the hood." This one is so closed up, I don't know what I may be doing wrong and I don't see any way to prevent the birdsnesting from happening at random moments. FURTHER UPDATE: The End. This machine bit the dust one year in. What happened was this-- the presser foot was never very securely attached to the shank, no idea why, and it moved out of position while I was sewing which caused the needle to hit it and break off. In a lifetime of sewing, I've broken many needles, but never has this caused the demise of a fairly new sewing machine. (In fact, I only ever had ONE machine, till I bought this 4411). I contacted Singer and spoke to people on the phone. They told me that the needle break probably spoiled the factory-set bobbin tension. No sh!t! And that it was out of warranty so I was basically on my own. From what I was reading online, I'd have to make a significant trip to a repair shop --so few still exist-- and then pay half the cost of the machine or more to get it repaired. I did find YouTube videos about adjusting bobbin tension yourself and was trying that-- what a pain compared to the old machines-- but before I had any success, I took a closer look at the end of the shank, because I was still wondering why it did such a poor job of holding the foot on. I merely touched it and, lo and behold, the little hook at the end of it fell off in my hand. This metal part had broken off. Why, I'll never know. I needed to replace this machine quickly and found a great deal on a very simple Brother machine --factory refurbished, which I like-- for $50 total. If this one breaks in a year I will have gotten my money's worth, but I don't think it will. I didn't need the "high speed" of the Singer 4411. I'm a slow sewer.

Not a person who likes sewing machine: Wanted to make covers for recliners out of quilts/comforters. It does the job, after some trying to figure out how to use the machine. (quickguide instructions, are terrible, but they have them on their webpage without quickstart guide). Used "heavy duty thread" and different needles (singer brand).

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

Calling this brand disappointing is an understatement! I’ve already given up on no-name machines costing 100–200 euros because of their plastic parts—one of them I even returned. For this machine, they advertised metal parts; sure, the feed dogs are metal, but the parts most prone to wear are still plastic! I’ve been sewing as a hobby for years and I need a simple machine—the casing doesn’t matter to me. One thing I know: whether you sew professionally or as a hobby, the bobbin and access to it, plus the presser foot, are things you use constantly. That’s why a plastic presser foot and a plastic bobbin case in a machine of this class and price is a real scandal. I do not recommend this model at all! You spend 300 euros and still end up with a machine that’s problematic. This one is going straight back.

Venía muy bien sellada y con todos los accesorios que menciona . Estoy aprendiendo y eh visto varios tutoriales para empezar a usarla, pero esta muy práctica la verdad para mí que estoy aprendiendo no sé me hizo difícil lo más básico que es coser en linea recta, ya iré aprendiendo a utilizar las demas funciones ,me encantó la recomiendo totalmente.
