Singer HD4432 Sterling Edition Sewing Machine, Metal Plastic, Black

Just be aware if you are ordering for the UK you will need to order a plug adaptor aswell as it doesn't come with it

It might have worked fine but it was built for the 110V US market so I had to return it.

This item will not work in the UK without a step down transformer which you have to buy separately. There is no mention of this in the information on Amazon. This was a great disappointment when it arrived and of course the extra cost. I have not tried it yet as I am waiting for the transformer to be delivered. If I had not read about it on the Internet , when it came I would have just used an adapter. This apparently would have blown the motor. Very bad advertising.

This product is being sold in the UK, where household electric outlets typically carry 220 voltage. However, the product itself is specked for the USA, where standard voltage is 220. My sewing machine arrived in pristine condition, but that means little when it will be destroyed upon use by the electric current feeding it! I cannot recommend this less for anyone in the UK. Please don’t buy it.

Do not buy if you're in the UK - US spec 110v motor which is not designed for 240v, it's uncontrollable and dangerous! Amazon should not allow this to be shipped to the UK.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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.

tutto perfetto

Minha mãe usou um dia e gostou demais da máquina, só era bom vim com um adaptador de tomada né. Vamos ver quando minha mãe virar costureira, se vai atender nos dia a dia.
