SINGER® Sterling Edition Heavy Duty 4432 Sewing Machine with Accessory Kit | Strong Motor with Enhanced Piercing Power, 110 Stitch Applications, Full Metal frame & 1-step Buttonhole

Great solid sewing machine that can handle abuse. My teenage daughter learned to sew on my machine so I bought another in black for her for Christmas. It’s a simple straightforward machine than can handle thick her fabrics like denim easily. My daughter is always alternating her clothes, especially jeans and this works great. Enough additional stitch options to be creative without being too much. Easy to use. I have been sewing for over 45 years, and have used all types of machines….i really like the simplicity of use and the fact that it is easy to maintain. Singer is always a good bet as they have a long history of making durable, quality machines.

I have been sewing for about 50 years. I have used many machines. My latest love was a Pfaff1222E. It needs repair (it's 40 years old) I had two other, more basic machines, and both of them died during my latest project, which was a ball gown. After panicking, and research, I bought this Singer Heavy Duty (Black special edition) 4432. I wanted a machine with a lot of utility stitches, not so many " ducks and bunnies", at a great price. I was able to complete this dress, which meant sewing on double faced satin, crenoline, very sheer fabrics, and some techniques I hadn't used before, such as applying spiral boning, with this machine straight out of the box. All layers sewed very well with no machine drag. I was able to determine the different stitches very easily, and adjustments went smoothly. I had only 2 problems. I couldn't wind a bobbin, while leaving the machine threaded because it seemed to somehow cause problems, and the needle threader was a bit awkward, maybe that just takes practice. I find it inconvenient to refer to my phone, and would greatly appreciate a "hard copy" instruction booklet instead. I have sewn on a wide variety of fabrics and leather (4oz) in the past, and the heavy duty aspect of this machine seems to be strong enough to stand the course, yet it seems crenoline and chiffon very well. There are quite a few utility stitches, that should meet the needs of special finishing of delicate fabrics and those that tend to ravel easily. The feet were easy to change out. Adjusting the stitch length and width, the tension, and the pressure of the presser foot were also important in my choice, these seemed to work well for my project. I would highly recommend this machine for those serious about sewing. It is easy to learn to use, and durable for heavy fabrics or lots of layers., and gentle on sheer fabrics. The price is exceptional. If all goes well, I will buy this model again for my granddaughter.

Excellent sewing machine. I use it for teaching sewing classes.

just received the sewing machine. Excellent quality for the price. It was missing a spool stopper and I had to order one from Amazon. My last machine was a Viking machine and lasted me 15 years of heavy duty sewing. I expect this one will last me a good while. If I get 5 years out of it I will be happy. Its easy to operate. I do not need a lot of frills and this one is perfect for sewing quilts.

I've been looking for a sturdy sewing machine at an affordable price - and this is it! I have an industrial Juki as my main machine (which I LOVE) - but needed a secondary machine that could do a zig zag stitch. I had a cheaper plastic machine - but it felt like I was babying it all the time. The parts were flimsy and it didn't like any heavyweight materials. Also, the electronic interface drove me crazy -- it would take a long time to switch stitches, stitch length, needle position, etc. I wanted a machine that was solid with metal parts, simple functionality, easy to change stitch/lenght/width (even mid stitch), no electronic interface, and could power through anything that I threw its way. So far, so good! This machine is reminiscent of how they used to create sewing machines. The only downside so far is the length of the power cord/pedal. It has one cord that splits for both the power and the foot pedal. Although this design is not my favorite, that's not the issue. The length of the cord is quite short. The power side is easy to use an extension cord with, but the foot pedal has no way to be extended. I'm currently using this machine at my stand up table and I have to have it on the very edge in order for the foot pedal to reach the ground. (My table may be on the taller side, fyi). I can probably look into buying a different cord if needed. Also, I was hoping for a few more feet to be included - however, I believe the feet from my cheaper Brother machine might work. I've sewn on a lot of machines (new ones and "vintage"), and this one holds up. I put it to the test right away with a zipper pouch that was 3-4 layers of canvas thick in some areas. 👍🏼

Great product

The machine is truly heavy duty. I was able to stitch through 8 layers of heavy cotton material. Everything was going well until it started only sewing backwards! I went through all the troubleshooting I knew and all that was suggested by fellow sewers and Google. Nothing worked. Luckily it was within the first month so I was able to return it.

And the recipient absolutely LOVED it! Great for casual use, heavy duty, or cosplay costuming—so I’m told, at least! Heavier than you expect it to be. Prepare accordingly.

Just be aware if you are ordering for the UK you will need to order a plug adaptor aswell as it doesn't come with it

Excelente maquina no batalla nada cumple todas las expectativas de su función

I am an intermediate sewer. Bought this machine to make clothes and textiles for my home as l sold my old one when l moved to new place. Firstly, the foot pedal had a major issue that it cannot adjust the speed, from slight press, it went full speed. (found many YouTube videos to solve the issue, although didn’t work for the one l got) The machine sewed crazy, took 2cm more from where l initially wanted to stop always as the pedal response was inaccurate. Secondary, the needle position dial didn’t do its job. The needle was always located on the most left side. I didn’t try other stitch lines. Lastly, this machine is the loudest ever even compared to industrial models l had. This experience made me upset about the famous sewing machine brand and will never buy Singer again.

Was so pleased wth the quality works like a dream. My daughter was able to thread it and wind a bobbin easily
