Singer Heavy Duty 4411 Sewing Machine Unboxing and 1 Month Review [S2E14]

[@ninasikand985]

Thanks a million! Please keep the Singer 4411 videos on youtube forever - I can't sew without them.

Great demo! As another has observed, this Singer has a reputation for having a foot pedal that is impossible to control. But seeing you operate it at a steady speed makes me consider it for my next purchase. I adore sewing slowly and mindfully. And this model is such a great value for the money, I'm happy that it may be adequate for the "speed control freak" in me! Thanks again for the video, very helpful.

Great review sir! I've been hangin' on to my13 y/o $35 dollar brother sewing machine for years and it's been finicky from time to time. Yes, it does the job, barely and very sensitive to things like jamming and thread tightness and I've been meaning to replace it and looks like it's time to upgrade. This is a concise, straight to the point, real quick review and that's how I like it. With that being said, you earned my sub!

[@ashleykotkin5976]

I haven't used a sewing machine since I failed home ec 20 years ago, but your video made me feel super at ease about my purchase. thank you for this!!

[@exploringlandandsea4811]

Haha, I failed home ec as well. Never stop trying new things, or in our case, old things we were not that good at the first time around. Thanks for the comment and let me know how it goes.

[@mistershepard3482]

Great video! Very insightful and straightforward!

[@AmbrosiasDollhouse]

I just received this sewing machine as a Christmas present. Thanks for this great review. I didn’t pick up on your mishap with the shirt as I’m not that experienced. LOL IM LEARNING! ✨🌟✨😄

[@exploringlandandsea4811]

Congratulations on receiving an amazing gift. I am learning as well. Have fun with it and make amazing things. Again, Congratulations, you will love it.

[@rmk7120]

Wow, looking at your channel, I admire how well rounded with all the life skills. Thats something thats hard to find in the younger generations. Great video, your voice is easy to listen to. 👍

[@TheEmmaHouli]

Since this sewing machine is being pushed for denmin and leather I was worried it wouldn't be able to do more delicate work.Thanks for this review! It was really helpful!

[@exploringlandandsea4811]

Thank you for the comment, and I am glad my video was helpful.

[@jocelynzahn1896]

When sewing sheer fabric, use a feeder fabric to get your seem started. Cut out a 3" piece of scrap fabric and put it under the needle about 1/2 inch up and start sewing, put your sheer fabric butted up against the feeder scrap. If this is confusing just you tube how to sew sheer fabric. Saved my life hemming a brides maid dress.

Is there any way to reduce the speed/power As a beginner mine feels like riding a mechanical bull😂😂

[@exploringlandandsea4811]

Haha, that is how I felt as well when starting out. Believe me when I tell you that you will get used to it and it will become second nature. Saddly the "gas peddle" if you will is the weak spot in this machine. you can replace it for a better one, but instead of spending more money, try this first; as you are gently starting to push down on the peddle you will hear the machine motor start to hum. very gently you can help it along by slowly spending the wheel on the left side of the machine. Give that a shot and see if it works for you. The only other thing I would recommend doing is unplugging the peddle and just work it for a few minutes. I did this and I think it helped a bit. Good luck and just know most of us sew at a very slow speed. You willl find your rhythm.

[@carllane6521]

Would this work with denim?

[@vanessashimoni6548]

I just bought this model. I’m hoping it’s a reliable and heavy duty enough to handle thick fabrics and multiple layers.

[@exploringlandandsea4811]

Thank you for the comment. I have pushed my machine pretty hard and have not found its limpets yet. I hope it works well for you

[@denisenjim284]

One of those cards you tossed aside at the beginning has the info for downloading your machine's owner manual....kinda important. There are also stitch app info on the Singer web site.

[@exploringlandandsea4811]

I get always get some fabric and make my own template. That way I get to play more with the machine and understand it better. I do go back and pick up the cards though, right before I throw them away. LOL. JK

[@ohwaitiforgot]

Thank you for this review! I think this is my pick to sew dog collars, as neither of the machines I have (and love lol) can handle it. It's also surprisingly inexpensive! :)

[@exploringlandandsea4811]

Thanks for the comment. I think if you go slow and have a good needle it should handle it.

[@jaggeraugust7981]

Pro tip: watch series on kaldroStream. I've been using them for watching lots of of movies recently.

[@jedidiahwesley8522]

@Jagger August Definitely, I've been using KaldroStream for since november myself =)

[@simplybeeda]

Thanks this was useful.

[@exploringlandandsea4811]

Thank you very much. I am glad you enjoyed it.

[@benemyjosh]

Great review. What happened to your Sailrite LSZ-1 machine?

[@exploringlandandsea4811]

It had a bit of a timing issue, but we got a new machine and as for the clicking, that is normal and we have not had any problem since. It is a workhorse.

[@sheilaroch5548]

Can this singer machine can sew leather for bag tq

[@exploringlandandsea4811]

I think it would be able to handle it, but you would need to go slow.

[@taneshaatkinson5497]

Lovely

[@mchristofas]

What pattern did you use for the shirt? I’ve been wanting to try one

[@exploringlandandsea4811]

All I can say is that I got it from Jo-Ann's fabric. I looked at a few and there are only suttel differences. Find a style you like and go for it.

[@queenninigordon1372]

How did u plug it up need to know

[@exploringlandandsea4811]

If you are referring to the shirt I made, I cut out the pattern up side down. LOL. if that is not what you were talking about please let me know and I can answer you with the info you want.

[@Sir-Bobby-Brown]

You Yanks make me laugh still using imperial its 2021 why not just learn metric like the rest the world.

[@exploringlandandsea4811]

If only the guy that was bringing the metric system to America did not die in a ship wreck we would be using it. I am with you, we need to convert. I think a lot of Americans are afraid of the power of 10 haha. Cheers!

[@ScottJB]

I love how mad people get that Americans do things however they want instead of trying to conform

[@a_mustache_of_great_repute]

Because the rest of the world is terrible, and we don't emulate awfulness 😊

[@soap5393]

Ban metric!

[@hwrdgrn]

Metric is by far, the more efficient measuring system. For example, double the measurement of 2 and 7/8 inches and you will be scratching your head for a long time, whereas you can do the metric calculation very easily.
