Singer 4411 Heavy Duty Sewing Machine, Grey

Product Information

Stronger Motor - A stronger motor than standard sewing machines allows it to sew through heavyweight fabrics with ease. The folks at Singer have come up with a complete line of heavy-duty mechanical sewing machines. Although nearly all the Singer Heavy Duty sewing machines look pretty much alike, there are some very real differences that discerning sewers should be aware of. The Singer 4411 sewing machine can stitch at a top speed of 1100 stitches per minute, which is competitive with larger industrial versions. The 4 presser feet that are included should take care of the majority of your requirements. If you tried to sew that way on the Singer 4411, you would wear out the motor before its time. It is designed for household sewing, which includes a variety of projects.

If you’re a professional tailor who produces garments, home décor or does repairs, you know how challenging long hours can be to the standard home-use sewing machine. These overheat easily, skip stitches and jam very often, so working on them for longer periods can get quite frustrating. Heavy-duty machines have more powerful motors, which not only lets them run at faster speeds, but it also ensures that your machine can handle many hours of continuous work, day after day. This sewing machine is a good choice for beginners. Here’s why: it only has 11 built-in stitches, including the automatic buttonhole – not so many choices to get confused with! Because of its heavy frame, this model will remain steady and skip-free when stitching by hand or using your foot pedal. The first and most important feature to have in a sewing machine for upholstery is a powerful motor. You will probably have noticed that a standard sewing machine struggles to get through multiple layers of heavier fabrics. Even if you have a very good sewing machine, i would not recommend taking up a upholstery project with it. If you do you are at risk of causing permanent damage. This will only cost you money in repairs or even worse you may have to buy a new sewing machine altogether.It has 411 distinct stitches that you may use to produce a variety of sewing and quilting stitches, giving your project's finishing a beautiful appearance. Additional stitch possibilities offered by this machine include 7 one-step buttonholes, automatic buttonhole, and 1 built-in lettering font. When working with heavier fabrics having a sewing machine with a solid design and a good bit of weight to it helps a lot. With the added weight that comes with heavy duty machines it makes it much easier to feed the fabric through the machine without worrying that the increased weight of the fabric will shift your sewing machine about. This is a common problem associated with usina an ordinary sewing machine for upholstery. If you sew a lot, you know the importance of keeping your machine well clean and oiled. Particularly if you’re using cheap thread, lint heavy fabrics, batting, etc. Let me tell you that such a task is not as easy as it sounds, as it isn’t easy to open the machine to clear the debris out. Be ready to take your time to open it up. In addition, these machines are mass-produced and the machine’s well-oiled gears dry up and get gummy.

A heavier body ensures that the sewing machine won’t shake when you sew at high speeds or use powerful stitches to pierce through tough fabrics. However, it also means that the machine is heavier to move, so you shouldn’t expect that much portability from heavy-duty machines. If you frequently attend sewing workshops, or you like having your sewing machine with you when traveling, a heavy-duty model might not be the right choice for you. These usually have to stay at the same place, and it’d be best if you don’t move the machine from your workstation at all. However, there are some slightly lighter models that can be moved a bit easier, which is also useful for storage.
