SINGER® 4432 (Grey) High Speed Heavy Duty Sewing Machine + Accessory Kit

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'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. 👍🏼

This machine is very easy to use. I am a beginner and I am able to use with ease. The machine fits perfectly on a sewing table or even a desk. The machine feels very durable and the pads on the bottom make it very stable and doesn’t move during use unless you physically pick it up to move. It is about 15 lbs so if you like me are chronically ill and have a weight limit of what you can pick up this might be at the top of your limit. It came with many pieces that I do not quite know how to use yet but I’m looking forward to getting to know my machine. This machine feels very well made and I expect it to be operable for many years to come.

Excelent sewing machine and performs great.

I loved the machine I though it was fine, but when my friend came over to help me make something she asked "why is it doing that" and she brought hers over to show me, mine is loud, cluncking we changed the bobin case and needle and did a few other things and no changes. And she said the tension thing seems broke, but honestly not sure but i never had this machine I had no idea it was bad, and I guess you should be able to continue at the higher speeds and this one does not. The machine faulter, ill be ordering another from a different website.

Only had this machine about a week and it has already proved to be a work horse! I sew just about every day making things to sellnin our farm's general store and this is a good companion for my Singer 9960.

After I put the machine on the table I was SHOCKED to find that this "heavy duty" machine uses thin needles made just for SINGER machines. So I can't use any of my special thread/fabric Schmetz needles I can use with my other sewing machines, sergers and overlocks machines that I have or share with friends. I had to wait 2 days for amazon to ship size 16 and 18 Singer needles before I could proceed to test "heavy duty" sewing with this, I think it comes with size 11 needles. Next, looking at the dials I was SHOCKED to see the needle positioning dial had only three choices, left, right and center. I have used sewing machines for 40+ years and I have NEVER seen a zig-zag sewing machine before where the needle position was limited like this. Then trying to move the needle left and right DID NOT WORK, it only moved the needle way left and 1/2 way between center and left. But I thought before returning it, at least I would test how well it handles my heavy duty projects and how well the stitches turn out. Finally got the heavy duty needles. The machine actually made perfect seams for the limited time I tested it. I did not test button holes or all the stitches but what I tried worked out really well. The machine was speeding over thick fabric stacks (thick terry towels, fleece) using my favorite 3-step zig-zag stitch set max wide - I use that as a quilting method when there is no need for any pretty designs. That was the primary reason I wanted this low cost machine, not to wear out my more expensive quilting machine for simple projects. Then I wanted to test top stitching using #69 nylon thread. SHOCKED again because now after 30 minutes of sewing other than straight-stitch, the needle position could no longer be changed. So if I end up replacing this unit with a new unit I will try to avoid moving the needle position at all. The dial is not very easy to move, and it does not seem to have a solid gear behind it, seems like it would wear out very easily. It's louder than any other sewing machine I have ever used and sounds like it could use oil somewhere. Pros: it's very sturdy and did not vibrate. The light is good. I love the easy to use bobbin cover and looks like the metal face plate should also be easy to open/close for maintenance. By the way, many Brother sewing machines (e.g CS6000i) have an absolutely horrible metal/plastic face plate system, way too frustrating to clean the base, and Brother's flimsy plastic cover right in front of the foot keeps me from pressing down on a bulky corner for better results - I donated my CS600i. I got this machine on a PRIME DAY deal and now I'm wondering if I should return it or replace it. If I replace it I'll update with review of the new unit. I'll use this one more before returning it to see if something else fails. CUSTOMER SUPPORT on the web states call M-F 8am-8PM. I called, the voice said they had "changed their service hours to M-F 8am-8pm", then another voice said they "close at 4PM CT ...call when they are open".... . So all that makes me wonder if Singer has anyone who knows what they are doing, no quality control?? Made in China. I wanted to find out more about warranty and service under warranty, but failed to get any info Fri 2pm calling from Arizona.

We just opened this sewing machine box, what a disappointment. It is poorly made, the instructions are a joke. My husband ordered this machine. He has had some health issues and just opened the box today. He thought if he bought a Singer it would be a good machine for some repairs he wanted to do on his boat canvas. Singer or Amazon should stand behind this product, it's nothing we can use!!!!
