Singer 4411 Heavy Duty Sewing Machine, Grey

Excellent does what I want it to do. Easy to thread and use . Just does the basic stitches. Tension is good Can take all thicknesses of material.

The size is very okay as it is not so heavy, it is easy to use. I will suggest you watch the singer YouTube video to get a hang of the stitching accuracy and stitch verity as well. The sewing machine is a really a good value for your money. I recommend 100%. The delivery was prompt as well.

I received mine today it's very good and sew faster than I expected, everything is okay

Foot could lift a bit higher for my material (faux fur doubled over) but that's my only small gripe, and I don't think you can really get much better than that for this price without getting an industrial walking foot/professional quilter machine. Having never owned a machine before this, I can't offer much in terms of comparison, but as far as I have seen, this is a great little contraption. It's very easy to use even for a beginner like myself, whilst also having a load of nice options for stitches, tension, width, needle position etc. It generally pulls materials through evenly, and works very quickly. The look and feel of the machine is very sturdy and well made. It is weighted enough so that it sits firmly on your desk, whilst not being too heavy to easily pack away. The instruction manual didn't explain things very well when I had a problem and was trying to refer to it. My thread was tangling in the bobbin area whenever I tried to lower the needle. Their email customer service took over a week to get back to me, and when they eventually did, they just gave me a load of rubbish anyway. I ended up just going on an online forum instead where I got a really simple solution within half a day. During this 'problem' phase, in a panic I started looking at the warranty in closer detail as well. I dont know of it's just standard practice, but I noticed that there's a lot of things you're not covered for, and a lot of things that will void your guarantee, so be careful and be aware. Other than that, the actual machine itself is fantastic, especially for this price. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend. :)

If this machine was under 100 pounds I might give it two stars. At this price range you'd be far better off with an industrial machine (see recommendations below). Right out of the box it was skipping stitches. Then all the issues with thread getting jammed. All the time. Issues. Rethreading. Taking out the bobbin. Setting it all up again. So much time wasted on this garbage machine. (And I know how to use machines. I know how to thread them etc. I repair my own machines including the industrial ones.) Then the bottom plate under the needle broke when the needle hit it (which will happen once in a while if you're using thick materials). This plate is made of very cheap soft metal. I bought that part again, replaced it, and that broke too. The plastic part around the bobbin is very poorly designed and if you ever need to clean under it you're almost guaranteed to make the machine unusable until you take it to a repair shop which will be a huge waste of money. (Hard to explain the exact issue in writing without showing the parts.) And there's a place where if thread gets stuck, there's no way to take it out. You just need to buy that part and replace it. And there's no simple way to keep this machine properly lubricated unless you know how to fully disassemble the case - which is very time consuming. The motor is very loud and not actually that strong. Maybe strong enough for most uses but not all. And 1100 stitches per minute isn't very fast. Most cheap industrial machines will do 3500. The speed control on the pedal is very poor and hard to control. It's kinda usable but not great and it's just far too fast for so many things where you want to go slow. And the cable for the pedal is too short. If you want to have the cable go behind the desk and then back towards your foot - it can't. Anyone wanting a heavy duty machine should just look into industrial machines. It's a world of difference. Not just for the stitch speed but for the reliability, power and speed of workflow. And they last for decades so it'll probably retain so much of it's original value that you can just sell it when you're done or ready to upgrade. In comparison this Singer will pretty much destroy itself and turn into landfill. Money down the drain. You can get a used industrial machine from 30 pounds including desk. Or a fully serviced used one from 120 including desk. Many Singer industrials available if you're into that brand specifically. Their home machines are trash but industrials tend to be much more reliable. Siruba industrial machines from 260 with desk. I've been using a more expensive Siruba model for 3 years and I love it. You can get a brand new industrial Jack machine on eBay for 400 including desk. That's 160 pounds more than this landfill plastic Singer. Jack or Siruba are probably the cheapest new industrials you'll find with a direct drive motor (that means no belt and more control and most models will also stop perfectly with the needle in the position you want it - up or down - which is an incredible time saver). Or there's Juki machines from 450. Very well respected Japanese brand but not direct drive at this price as this is their most basic model. Still a great deal compared to any plastic junk machine. 560 gets you a Jack industrial zigzag machine with direct drive and desk. Or a Tysew brand machine with walking foot for 600. Also direct drive with desk. Jack walking foot direct drive with desk for 660. And if you need to sew a lot then choose a model with automatic foot lifter and automatic thread cutter. It allows you to speed through your sewing work and it's a ton of fun to use too. And a walking foot honestly is gonna be worth it for a lot of people to prevent layers from slipping. Jack H5 is both automatic with a walking foot for 950 shipped. Though any industrial will be worlds better than the plastic junk so don't feel that you need to spend this much to start. I hope that helps save you from this junk and years of awful sewing experiences. Note: I have no connection to any sewing manufacturer. This is all my own opinion.

At first, when I unboxed it, I couldn't find the drop feet switch on the back of the machine and thought I'd have to return it, but realised the drop feet button is on the free arm. The specifications on the label at the back say that it has a 90W motor and that it was made in Vietnam, for those who are interested. I've tried it to see what it's like and it sews beautifully! I'm really excited about this machine. The presser foot goes a few millimetres higher than on normal machines, so you can fit more fabric layers through. Another feature I liked was how pretty and well-defined the embroidery stitches are! Advice: for best results, set the length halfway between 0 and 1 and the width at 6, which is maximum. If you turn the length to 0, there will be a jam. The zigzag stitch is really versatile, I suggest you play around with it, starting at 1 (length) and combining it with all the widths, then going to 2 + all the widths, etc, and then make a note for future use with the perfect length/width combinations for various applications (applique, Overlocking stitch, sewing elastic on the waistband, decorative, etc). The machine was perfectly set in the factory, you don't have to adjust anything, like tension or foot pedal. Some people complained about how fast the foot pedal is, but I found it works like a dream, so don't be afraid of it. I'm not a great fan of foot pedals, but this one is very easy to use. Some other people moaned about the light bulb being weak and the machine noisy. Neither criticism is valid: the machine is not totally silent, duh, but it's fairly quiet for a sewing machine. The bulb emits a strong, blue light. I love it and I'm looking forward to making a toiletry bag with it and to using it for many other projects!

I have just finished sewing a pair of trousers with this sewing machine. I was using a moleskine fabric, about as thick as an average jeans, but softer. The Singer 4411 did the job, but it revealed some weaknesses. - The machine was seriously struggling when I was trying to sew over 4 layers of fabric. I broke 3 needles in the process, which I don't think is acceptable for just one pair of trousers. - Sometimes, the fabric is not transported well or evenly, especially with thicker layers of fabric or at the edge of a piece. Compared to other (much older, but more expensive) sewing machines I have used, this was quite a disappointment. - A consequence of the previous point is, that the appearance of the stitches can be rather uneven. - This machine is fast!!! You might count this as a plus, but I think that the slowest speed is too fast for an average sewer. Sometimes you just want to have the option to sew some parts slower, and this machine can't do it. It can only do fast, extra fast and super fast. The positives: + The price (when I bought it, it was 186 pounds) is pretty good. The machine appears heavy and there are not too many plastic parts, so overall it makes a good impression. + The button hole function. It is really easy to use and the result looked very professional. + This is a simple (and to some extend sturdy) machine, so you don't have to read the manual before getting started. I am also confident that it is easy to repair, which is a big advantage. Overall, considering the price, this is a good machine, but if you want to do more advanced projects or if you are serious about sewing several layers of denim fabric etc., you should probably consider buying something else.

Still learning,upgraded from last machine so far so good,alot lighter than previous one,

Werkt goed Tevreden

parece fragil dificuldade de um gabinete

Die Maschine wurde viel früher als erwartet. Nach einem ersten Test funktioniert sie einwandfrei und schafft auch selbst dickere Stofflagen. Ein nähen durch Stoff, in dem ein dickes Gummiband eingenäht ist, schafft sie ohne Probleme. Einfach in der Bedienung ist sie auch. Super. Bin voll zufrieden.

Me han enviado un modelo superior (Singer 4423), valorado en 350€ por no tener disponible este otro modelo. Una máquina fuerte y que trabaja bien desde el primer momento. Buena atención al cliente.
