Review by Rita N
I have recently received delivery of my Heavy Duty Sewing Machine and I am very pleased with the results so far. Repairing Jeans has never been easier as the machine effortlessly sews over thick seams. Like others I am also finding the automatic needle threader tricky to get used too. Hopefully I will get the hang of this soon. Delivery was on time and very helpfully gave us and hour window when to expect the arrival of the machine.

I received the Fashion Mate sewing machine as a surprise gift at Christmas and was terrified to even open the box as I knew nothing about machine sewing. The Singer YouTube videos were fantastic and although I made every school girl error in the book, I have been sewing non-stop ever since, and love this machine as it is so easy to use and yet has made light work of very large quilts in heavy denim fabrics without a whimper. I would also like to thank the helpdesk as they have been a great hand-holder in the first week, and gave expert advice on every occasion that I rang which was almost daily for the first week!

My daughter is 11 and is already getting on well with this machine. We had to read the instructions carefully together to get ourselves started, and found the bobbin the most difficult part to figure out, but we are beginners. After 2.5 hours we were sewing our first line! After 1 full day, we have 3 bobbins threaded, have made scrunchies and a cushion and she is feeling quite confident already! We love it! I am going to buy more bobbins as this girl wants to sew every colour under the sun! She is getting ready for a school Christmas market!

I originally bought this through Amazon and was very upset that it was the American version so I had to send it back. I had phoned Singer and they were really helpful and gave me the phone number of a chap who demonstrates them and could sell me a UK version. Sadly I had to pay out an additional £150 but it was worth it. I love the fact that it has speed control. My only grip is the measurements on the metal plate are hard to see and I have to get my ruler out. They do not match up to the ruler on the front of the machine. I have only had this for a few weeks and already I have made several projects. I can make household items easily but I am having a go at dressmaking for the first time and enjoying it very much. A great machine for someone who likes to take it slow.

Like any new sewing machine, you will need to set aside a few hours to start with just to get used to it. During this time I got the hang of the needle threader and bobbin feed. I had a couple of items of clothing to alter. The first went like a dream, the machine seemed to do all of the work. The next one was a really fine polyester elastane, which seemed trickier despite trying out lots of different types of needles and stitches. I am generally happy with this purchase and particularly at the price and delivery offered by Singer Machines Ltd., so much cheaper than High Street prices. I bought this machine because of its ability to sew heavier fabrics, which I have not yet done. It is early days for me, hence only four stars at the moment.

Excellent machine although could be improved with a simple addition of a needle threader! Speed is good though!

Bought the 4423 to sew canvas canopy for our boat and was capable of sewing 2 layers of canvas, 1 webbings and vinyl window material with relative ease courtesy of the 90 watt motor. Simple controls and easy threading of needle makes the 4423 a highly recommended sewing machine at an affordable price. Also the delivery was Fast to Ireland.

Review by Janet E
I have purchased this machine as I want one that can handle home furnishings as well as standard dressmaking. So basic and reliable are the qualities I was looking for. It stitches beautifully and is very user friendly. I purchased some canvas online for particular project which turned out to be heavier and stiffer than I was expecting. Nevertheless the machine has coped with it well. It did arrive with just one spare needle which I would have to say seems a little unnecessarily mean but all in all I am delighted with this simple sturdy machine which is already proving to be the workhorse I had hoped it would be.
