SINGER® Heavy Duty 4532™ Next Evolution Sewing Machine with Accessories

I have been looking for quite some time to buy a nice and reliable sewing machine for my simple sewing needs that include jeans/pants hemming, sewing light/medium leather, garment repairing, etc. A simple non-heavy-duty household machine would probably be ok, but it is not a bad idea to get something with more power yet being able to carry it around the house from time to time. There are really heavy-duty industrial sewing machines popping up on local Craigslist that cost around 300 and more but those machines will make your room look like a sewing workshop.After doing hours research I ended u

Bought this a couple years ago, love my Singer, does everything it claimed to do, put it dang near through everything by now and it's still going strong. Mighty nice machine, I'm a country woman, don't always fool with patterns and such a lot, sometimes I like to go my own way and that can make for some interesting sewing as well as interesting sewing maneuvers, believe me when I say it holds up real well under duress. At least mine does anyway, just make sure you know how to set it back right if you mess it up like knocking the needle out of alignment, etc., I know how to do all that plus I k

Unlike the cheapie "Singer branded" ones out there, this is a REAL Singer. I love this machine. After my 31 year old Stylist died a month after its 30-year warranty was up (hmmmm), I replaced it with this. Very solid and powerful. Runs smoothly still singing that famous Singer song. I only gave it 4 stars because:1. The bobbin cover was made to come off and if you put it down, being clear, it is hard to find. Being plastic, I will step on it when I am looking for it someday. I bought a spare.2. The automatic needle threader rarely works and the LED light is nowhere near as bright as the old in

First the negative. The work light is nearly useless. I removed the heat shield and replaced the light with a Kakanou BA15D LED light. This little upgrade makes it 5 stars.I got this for my wife as she was very frustrated with her cheap old machine (Simplicity). She now happily sews away without frustration. It is not the machine she wanted, but it does everything she needs. It is fast and powerful, has automatic threader, stretch button hole, smooth and quiet operation. She is now very happy I got her this simple, durable machine and not something with tons of useless extra features. She has

For a Heavy Duty sewing machine this is a piece of garbage (about 5 hrs of use!). I managed to get one project done and it decided to nest in the bobbin every time I tried to start a run. Now for all you nay-sayers about the bobbin not being threaded correctly and the tension and top thread being correct, I DID DO THOSE CORRECTLY. The issue is that the hook and bobbin holder have become misaligned and the looping of the top thread around the bobbin doesn't relesse correctly. As a result it jams up - and breaks needles. For a heavy duty machine (and I was doing light stuff) this is completely u

Yep -- this was pretty much exactly what I needed. My Viking Emerald 116 is getting tired, and it never handled heavier fabric as well as I'd have liked, and it was getting close to a decade of moderate to heavy wear. This one had most of the features I liked on the Viking -- the one-step buttonholer, the automatic needle threader -- so I finally bought it. Though I don't have a lot of time (and I have a nine-month-old kitten who's fascinated with the sewing process), I've mostly finished a project with some wool-blend fabric I suspect the Viking would have struggled with. I haven't done any b

Got my machine in excellent condition and it was delivered even before I expected it to arrive. I am a retired Home Economist and have been a professional seamstress for over 40 years and just wanted a good basic, accurate machine for my home projects. I've already finished my first project with this machine. I had been "fighting" with my old machine that I'd had for a few years with this project. This new Singer sewed my quilting project with ease, balanced stitching, and using the same walking foot it evenly, feed all three layers including a high loft batting with ease!!! I'm very impressed

Lighter than expected, runs incredibly smooth, and has a lot of features for this very affordable price. The 1-step buttonhole is a major advancement. The bobbin cover could be improved as it could easily be lost.
