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

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. 👍🏼

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.

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!!!!

Ever since I gave this to my son for making Civil War uniforms, he's been quite pleased. The machine feels sturdy and is simple for him to use, which makes his sewing projects much easier. It offers good value when considering the price and performs well during his costume creations. Glad I chose this one for him.

I had a Singer CG-590 Heavy Duty machine from the mid 1990's so I know what they can do. Sadly, I had to retire mine previous one as the tension unit couldn't be fixed. The new machine sews smoothly but there are a few things that are not as user-friendly. The Off/On switch is so low that when it's lowered into my table for quilting, it's hard to reach. The former bobbin compartment was easy to flip open but now it's not accessible in the drop-down position. It doesn't come with a darning plate to cover the feed dogs. The switch to lower the feed dogs are not accessible on the back of the machine below the level of my table. I would have to pull the machine out to use it. Had to order a darning plate to cover the feed dogs and search online for a manual as Singer (and other companies) don't provide one. Oh well, it is a solid strong machine and I like the black color.

like the machine. simple easy to use

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.

First of all I am a man, so I don't give up and write a negative review when I can't figure out how to use the needle threading feature. That reminds me of my ex-wife. Back in 1988, she was going to make all kinds of nice clothes for our daughter, like her cousin's wife did for their three daughters. She told me to buy her a sewing machine and she would learn to sew. I doubted it, because she was lazy, so I bought the basic machine (Singer Model 4530). It did the basic sewing for normal users much like these Singer Heavy Duty machines, but not made to sew heavy thicknesses of fabric or something like leathers. As expected, she let the machine sit for months never signing up for sewing lessons. One day I came home from work and she was furious. She sad the sewing machine was no good. I ask her what happened. She told me her neighbor wanted to sew some sheets together to make long table cloths, for the tables for her daughter's wedding reception. She said the two of them tried all afternoon to thread the bobbin and it wouldn't work. I asked her if they read the directions in the instruction book. She said, "NO!". I told her she needed to read the directions. She got furious with me. You see she was one of those women who would never admit she was ever wrong, and if you pointed out she was wrong she would get even with you forever. She refused to ever learn to sew, from that point on. I knew how to sew. I self taught myself how to sew, because I needed my pants pegged, which was the style back when I was a teenager, and my Mom worked 16 hours a day to provide for me. She could sew, but to peg my pants would take up her Sunday (her one day off a week), and wanted that day to be with my Mom. This has turned out great for me. I grew up to be an outdoorsman in Idaho. I am an Collegiate All American in the field of Archery. I was Candidate for the U. S. Olympics, so knowing how to sew didn't make any lessor a man any more than learning to cook so dinner was ready when my Mother got home from a 16-hour day. Now back to the Singer sewing machines. I took that standard duty Singer 4520 sewing machine my ex-wife cursed and put it to work. Of course, I hemmed my pants to the right length, and shortened the sleeves on my shirts, but I did more than it was designed to do. I have made several vests out of heavy duck and canvas. I have made bags for heavy duck, canvas, ballistic nylon, and leather. I have made holsters and knife sheaths out of canvas, ballistic nylon, and leather. I have sewn thicknesses up around 1/4". After 28 years, my good old sewing machine is skipping some stitches, and showing some signs of wear. It sews well on regular fabrics it was designed for, but I build survival equipment for outdoorsmen. Skipping stitches and having to re-sew thing just won't do. I bought the heavy duty model, and have tested it finding it to be an excellent machine, plus it sews thick fabrics and leathers. I have ran the test.

Ich hatte zuvor eine eher günstige Nähmaschine, die dann auch recht bald den Geist aufgegeben hat. Durch doch recht gerne Nähe hab ich mich dann dafür entschieden, ein etwas besseres Model zu nehmen. In Testberichten schneidet diese Nähmaschine immer relativ solide ab. Sie ist zwar nicht das Allerbeste Modell, was man auf dem Markt findet aber spielt doch eher in der Oberklasse mit. Bisher kann ich dir nur beipflichten. Das Design ist eher schlicht und funktional gehalten. Die Maschine ist groß, schwer und klobig. Die graue Farbe vermittelt auch eher den Scharm des Ostblocks. Aber das Design ist nicht das, wo drauf es ankommt. Schon beim auspacken fällt auf, wie durchdacht die Maschine ist und wie viele Funktionen sie wirklich hat. Die Anleitung ist eher knapp gehalten, wer aber schon mal genäht hat, versteht die Maschine sofort. Die Maschine näht sehr gut. Sie zickt wenig rum und hat ein ordentliches Tempo. Auch dicken Stoff kriegt sie gut genäht. Liegt dieser jedoch in drei oder vier Lagen kommt die Maschine sowohl von der Kraft, als auch von der schieren dicke (Standfuß) nicht mehr durch. Trotzdem gibt es (bis jetzt), eine klare Kaufempfehlung.
