Heavy Duty 4411 (Grey) High Speed Sewing Machine + Accessories | 11 Built-In Stitches Deliver 69 Stitch Applications | 50% More Power, 1100 Stitches/Min | Metal Frame, 4-Step Buttonhole

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 bought this Singer 4411 to replace a singer my mom had and I inherited when she passed away. My old machine had worked for over 40 years so I looked at different brands but bought this. Its a good quality machine and does everything I want it to do, sewing jeans, light weight upholstery material, t-shirts and any repairs needed to be done. It came with a few accessories needed like sewing needles, cleaning brush, seam ripper and three extra bobbins. It only took a few minutes to figure out how to thread the bobbin and thread the machine and I was sewing. It has a handle that lifts up to carry it which is a nice plus. The price was very reasonable too. One thing I would like to tell all you ladies something I learned. I had gone to a local sewing machine store to see if my old machine was worth fixing and it wasn't because it was too old. The lady at the store told me that machines sold at sewing machine stores are different from sewing machine sold in big box stores, such as Amazon, K-Mart, Walmart and so on. She said they make a less costly machine for the big box stores using cheaper parts than the machines sold at high end sewing machine stores. I was skeptical so I sent an email to Singer and to Brother sewing machines and they said the information I was given was incorrect. The machines sold are the same. They don't make "cheaper machines" for big box stores. They also said the only difference is that machines bought in a high end sewing machine store cost more because they usually have "hands on training offered" and sometimes a cleaning or two the first year after you purchase a machine. With big box stores you can email for help or questions. Both Singer and Brother said that the lady in the store was probably just trying to make the sale with me. By the way, in the high end store both brand machines were about 40 to 60 dollars more so I was glad to find the sewing machine I wanted at a better price through Amazon. Shipping took 5 days longer than posted in the shipping information after I purchased the machine and the box was torn and looked like it had gone through a war zone, thanks to the FedEx sure post way of shipping. Luckily the machine was packed in rigid styrafoam and arrived with no defects to the machine. I complained to Amazon about the lengthy wait and the condition of the box and they offered me a 20% discount for my complaints or return the machine if it was damaged and they would have replaced it if needed. I was very pleased with the customer service and speedy reply to my email. Amazon does try its best to keep a customer happy.

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.

This is a great machine. YouTube videos are quite useful, as well. I am using it in my studio to sew paper together and it's fabulous, so far. Loading the bobbin is very simple. The only thing I wish is that I scrolled down a little bit more - I had no clue Singer makes a machine that comes with an automatic threader! Trust me, I thought about purchasing that one and donating the pink one. But I am hanging on to this one!

I bought this machine for making quilts. I also purchased a quilting feed pressure walking foot. The maching is great, and doing just what I expected, so far, as I have only been using it 10 days now. With the additional foot, it is doing a great job of huge quilting tasks, and home repairs and clothing. It is heavy enough to stay in place without walking all over, and is very much like the Singer I purchased 20 years ago. It is simple, but had a bit of trouble figuring out the drop in bobbin. It is not computerized so I will not have to replace a computer board! I do not need a light weight maching to make pretty little stitches, and fall apart when it comes to sewing denim. This one is great, and a great machine if you already have a fancy computerized machine and wnat one for heavy home use. this is not a commercial maching, just a good, dependable machine. Now the foot is another issue. I looked up the part and number on line, and wrote it down and ordered it from the Joanne Fabric store near my house. Their sewing machine department is called Viking. They did not even know the part number, but ordered the foot. It came in just one week...in a box that was lettered in Chinese, not packages for sale in the USA, without ID of any kind, and nothing written in English. I never bought anything like this in the USA before, but have in Canada where they do not require meeting such high sales requirments. I was told when I called that this was the right part (nearly $30) and to trust them. I could bring it back if it did not work or was the wrong part. But what the heck, I bought something that tells me nothing at all on the box, period! So I guess I have to trust them. So far the part is working very well, but I cannot tell you the part number or any info at all. I recommend the machine.

It’s the cutest singer I’ve ever owned ! Easy to use, works every time, easy to load bobbin, and great instructions on threading…

I am a grandmother now and I remember my own mother sewing or repairing some family clothes (we were 3 children's) with a sewing machine that at the time was considered "the best" so, mother was very proud of the ultra-upscale technology she could get. Of course, it was Singer manual, not electric. Remembering that, it was the brand I've chosen at the moment of order a sewing machine for myself. WHAT A MISTAKE!!! NEVER AGAIN!!!! It was really a beauty: well proportioned, solid pink color, not too heavy, with some accesories... just to fall in love with it. BUT did not work, like a nightmare: whatever I've tried, it failed. Starting with the thread, so confusingly explained in the miserable piece of drawing coming with the machine, that never I could do it properly. And it was the ONLY instruction Singer could provide to a buyer. Is it that everybody was born knowing everything? Well, not really; perhaps the company is saving in the costs of a not cheap product...SO, I decided to look online on Singer.com or so for more explanation. Do you imagine what I discovered? Apart the price I paid for the unmanageable sewing machine, I had to buy a simple booklet of instructions. Very simple, if you want to know how to manage the product just bought, pay more. If not (and you weren't born knowing everything) put the machine in the trash bin and buy another brand (thanks Amazon for your policy of easy returns). Anyhow (sorry for the length) that is not all. The bobine is also a problem: it goes by itself like no tension exist, and you got the inside of the seem with a big ball of thread; but if you put some extra tension, it is so heavy that the thread goes broken. And also, when you thread the needle using a manual device, the thread goes from back to front and breakdown no matter how many times you tried with different sises of thread. And, please, believe me: I guess this is enough for anybody to desist from buying this brand, but if you need something else, I can tell you about problems I had with the tension, the bobbins the tidiness of the sewing from both sides, and something else. In sum, I won't recommend to anybody! On the contrary, I say Shame on the brand!

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.

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

Una gran compra, en serio es buenísima, cero ruidosa, para nada es aparatosa, es muy buena máquina.

Buena máquina. Sólida y perfecta para un uso doméstico.

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

Perfect for beginners!
