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

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.

I needed a heavy duty sewing machine since I sew lots of denim bags and denim quilts. It works great for the heavy things and handles my regular sewing also.Functionality:Heavy dityStitch quality:It has I nice looking stitch even when I’m sewing thick hot pads.Build quality:My favorite and and most used brand.

This thing is amazing. It is just powering through one of my toughest projects to date.

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.

My wife absolutely loves this machine. As the name implies it is very robust and will tackle just about any project you throw at it!

Does exactly what it’s needed for

The product is great. The seller is terrible. The supply kit is missing. The instruction manual, or any instructions are missing. How dare is seller not checking returned item and sell it again????

So far it’s been easy to use and working well for the couple of small projects I’ve done! I wish the light wasn’t
