@bigfranksworld Жыл бұрын

Just bought a Singer 44s (heavy duty) for $50 used. Haven't built anything with it yet. I have a Consew 226 that I use for most of my heavy stuff. The Singer looks like it will work fine for my lighter stuff, and lighter cordura with just a few layers. Thanks.

Thank you SO much ! I’ve tried to look thru countless videos of people just talking finally someone just say it outright- I saw A regular heavy duty ( 150$)and a computerized (220$) HD machine ( both are singer & at Walmart - any thoughts ?

@RedPawPacks 3 жыл бұрын

If this is going to be your main machine for the forseeable future, then the computerized might be a nice upgrade. If it has needle positioning sync and/or thread snipping that would be amazing (not sure the model you are looking at). The regular HD has been great to me, so no complaints there. Still use it a bunch-- even though I have 4 industrial machines.

I've seen you sewing X-PAC fabric on this Singer machine, how it feels sewing X-PAC on it? And do you use your Juki for sewing outdoor fabrics and what specs you recommend to look for when choosing sewing machine for sewing outdoor? Great video by the way. Also what do you think of sewing speed of this machine, is pedal too sensitive or you can do slow sewing with no problem?

@RedPawPacks 3 жыл бұрын

Sewing Xpac on this machine is "acceptable" as long as you keep it to as few layers as possible and use a larger sized needle. The pedal is plastic but is surprisingly easy to control. The Juki 1541 is a great machine for outdoor gear / packs. Generally for machine specs, a walking foot or needle feed is the most important thing.

Nice review! Which singer heavy duty is it? I'm guessing the 4423 based on the price range you quoted I just got the 4423, I'm really happy so far. I watched the Amazon warehouse and found one for $85 cause the box was damaged, the sewing machine is perfect. If you have this machine my wife gave me a good tip for controlling the speed, sew barefoot! Much better control of the pedal.

Any tips on "bar tacks" with this machine? Would you use a few stitches in zig-zag or straight stitch? I'm having problems with my shoulder straps. Cheers

@RedPawPacks 3 жыл бұрын

It's hard to do a "fake" bartack on a shoulder strap with foam on this machine. My best method: do a straight stitch forward then rotate and do a narrow, short stitch zig zag over the same stitch line. If wanting to reinforce again, do another straight stitch over that.

Would the machine struggle with 1000 cordura and 1/2 foam? Thanks!

@RedPawPacks 3 жыл бұрын

Yes, I would say the machine would struggle. 1000D cordura and that thick of foam requires a heavier duty machine like a walking foot

His is the middle of the road HD machine. The 4452 is typically around $350. However prices are up since machines were mass purchased for COVID use and some sneaky people are reselling them for a profit.

How high can you lift the foot? Would it be possible to sew shoulder straps, using one of those thin blue foam pads, so that +fabric and webbing, around 10mm total. I have been looking at the singer 1507 and the singer heavy duty. Not sure I can afford the heavy duty, but besides the weaker motor the 1507 looks pretty similar. Thanks!

@RedPawPacks 4 жыл бұрын

Seems the foot can raise about 3/8". I believe it would work for shoulder straps with a bit of adjusting to get it under

@Therealbrowk 4 жыл бұрын

@@RedPawPacks Awesome, thank you for the reply. I decided to try out the 1507, I believe the foot will probably be able to raise to the same height as the heavy duty, so hopefully that will work well enough! What do you use for sewing shoulderstraps?

@RedPawPacks 4 жыл бұрын

@@Therealbrowk First pack ever was sewn on an $80 Brother home machine. I think that pack project literally broke some internal parts and put it out of time. Trashed it after. Then used a "semi-industrial" after that called the Singer 20U53. Definitely a light duty machine, but it worked well enough. After realizing how much I wanted to focus on packs and thicker materials, as well as start making gear for sale, I invested in the Juki.

Hello! do you still recommend this sewing machine as the first one? In my country, the actual price is $200. thanks for the answer.

@RedPawPacks Жыл бұрын

Hey! I do. I'm still using the machine nearly every day after many years. If your main focus is to use heavier fabrics or make things like shoulder strap assemblies for bags, I'd advise you to look elsewhere. But if you tend to work on light to medium weight fabrics, this is a great machine for that.

Try using the pedal barefoot for more control. I’ve gotten used to the speed (slower than my industrial), but if you haven’t, hand crank the wheel when it’s required

Do you realize how vague and generalizing that statement is? It's like saying every car made by Ford or Toyota is crap, and you shouldn't buy either. Maybe your machine is a lemon, or broken. Singer has been making sewing machines for hundreds of years, and make excellent sewing machines today.
