The SINGER Heavy Duty 4423 is the straightforward, mechanical heavy duty machine: a metal frame, a stainless steel bedplate and a top speed of 1,100 stitches per minute, run from a simple dial. It has 23 built-in stitches (97 stitch applications), a one-step buttonhole and a built-in needle threader, which covers hemming, mending, garments and sturdier home projects such as canvas totes and cushion covers.

How the 4423 compares
The 4432 and 4452 share the 4423's frame, motor and sewing space but add stitches: 32 built-in stitches and 110 stitch applications. The 4452 also includes a walking foot, non-stick foot, clearance plate and heavy duty needles. The 4411 is the simpler step down, with 11 stitches, a four-step buttonhole and no built-in needle threader listed. Choose the 4423 if you want the needle threader and one-step buttonhole without paying for stitches you may not use.
