Stitching Features

11 Stitches & Easy Stitch Selection

The Singer 4411 offers 11 stitches in total with 6 being core stitches used to construct and mend garments and accessories. There are four basic decorative stitches for adding detail to cuffs, hems, pockets or anywhere your project needs a little lift. The final stitch is a buttonhole stitch. Selecting individual stitches is simple using the large knob. Stitch width and length are also adjustable by adjusting selectors on the front of the machine.

Stitch Speed
At 1100 stitches per minute, the Singer 4411 is fast enough to breeze through just about any project you have in mind. This is where the heavy duty metal frame helps stabilize the machine. Without that metal frame this machine would shake, rattle and roll at top speed.

Additional Features

4411 HD-heavt-duty-metal-frameHeavy Duty Metal Frame
The heavy duty metal frame helps make sure the machine remains still to prevent skipped stitches. This is especially important for a machine that sews at 1100 stitches per minute.

Stainless Steel Bed Plate
From light weight fabrics to heavy faux furs, the stainless steel plate allows them to move smoothly over the bed of the machine.

Top Drop-In Bobbin with Clear Cover
The drop-in bobbin allows for a much faster re-threading so you can continue sewing. The clear cover allows you to more easily monitor how much thread remains on the bobbin so you can plan when to stop  and refill the bobbin.

Drop Feed
Many owners of this machine report they use it for quilting. The feed dogs on the Singer 4411 drop below the plate to allow for free-form quilting and top-stitching.

Free Arm
If you have ever tried to finish a hem on slacks or work on collars, cuffs, doll clothes or other small items; you know the importance of having a free arm. Without it your piece stretches over the larger bed which can make it difficult to keep sewing in a smooth straight line.

Snap-on Presser Feet
For those of you who have tried to fit your hands and a small screw driver in a tight space to unscrew a tiny screw without dropping it or pricking your finger on the needle, can especially appreciate the convenience of the snap-on presser feet included with the Singer 4411. There are four feet included with the machine at purchase. As soon as you set up your machine you have the equipment needed to make buttonholes, sew buttons on a garment, sew seams and attach a zipper. Other feet are available for an additional charge.

Extra-High Presser Foot Lifter
This feature is a must-have for a sewing machine intended for thick or heavyweight fabrics. Hemming bluejeans or sewing through multiple layers of faux fur for a child’s costume is that much easier when the presser foot rises high enough for all of the material to fit comfortably under it.

Three Needle Positions
The different needle positions allow for easier application of zippers, trims and top-stitching.

My third Singer…Green-Arrow
“I bought this little guy as a back up for my Singer Quantum 7350. I’m sew a lot of unusual fabrics and am more than a little hard on sewing machines. My daily sewing projects include costuming (vinyl, fur, etc); household uses (curtains, bedding); and formal wear. It never fails that when I’m approaching a deadline on a big project my sewing machine decides it needs to pay a visit to my friendly neighborhood sewing repair shop for a tuneup. It’s about 10 years old now and if you saw what I put it through, you’d understand why. I’ve also dropped it twice.”

Sturdy, basic, reliable, good for heavy home use, not fancy!Green-Arrow
“I bought this machine for making quilts. I also purchased a quilting feed pressure walking foot. The machining is great, and doing just what I expected, so far, as I have only been using it 10 days now. With the additional foot, it is doing a great job of huge quilting tasks, and home repairs and clothing. It is heavy enough to stay in place without walking all over, and is very much like the Singer I purchased 20 years ago.”

Very Pleased with This Purchase…Green-Arrow
“Purchased this as a Christmas gift for my son in college for repairs, costumes, etc. as an Art major in Design. We both had a chance to use over Christmas and we both agree this machine really works well with a variety of different types of fabric. This is a very nice basic machine for the price and easy to use. A good value for a college student, etc. Very pleased with this purchase.”

Bobbin Won’t Wind, No Local Repair Shop…
“I’m an experienced sewer and can figure things out quickly from directions, so I didn’t have any problems threading the machine or winding the bobbin at first. Now the 90-day warranty has expired, the bobbin won’t wind. The machine runs, but the bobbin post won’t turn. A gear or a belt inside isn’t working and it must be repaired. Singer customer service confirmed I’m on my own to get it fixed.”

Bottom Line

The Singer 4411 Heavy Duty Sewing Machine is a basic machine that is simple enough for a beginner to use, yet powerful enough to handle projects for the advanced sewer. Whether you want to sew clothes, accessories, pillows, drapes or costumes; the Singer 4411 has the features, speed and power to get the job done.

 Singer 7258 Stylist Sewing Machine

The Singer 7258 is very similar to the model 7256 with just a few more features and a slightly higher price point. One feature on the 7258  allows you to end sewing with the needle in the up or the down position. This is especially handy when sewing a project that requires you to pivot the fabric.  It also comes with 30 extra stitches and 4 more presser feet and is a great machine with which you can grow into.

My mother taught me to sew when I was a little girl and I've been sewing for over 40 years. Sometimes I sew out of necessity and sometimes just for the sheer joy of creating something new. I am mom to two wonderful teen daughters and wife to a very patient man. When I'm not sewing or writing, I can be found in my garden. Ask me how it grows!
