Restored Singer 44SFR Heavy Duty 44S Sewing Machine (Refurbished)

I used my first Singer sewing machine when I was 8 years old and have always believed it is the very best brand for me.

I fix my cloths in minutes. once you thread the bobbin %26 run it through the bottom of the machine your set for many instant repairs

I was hesitant buying a refurbished machine. But it works great! Glad I bought it.

If you purchase one of the factory refurbished Singer machines don't plan on it having all the accessories that it came with when new. The one I received did not. The one I received also had a bed extension/storage compartment from a different model machine and it does not fit correctly and has sharp edges on the front and back of the machine. These don't have any kind of warranty to deal with issues like this. So it is buyer beware and I don't recommend the factory refurbished Singer machines. You will be sorry of your purchase.

I bought this for a gift. I did buy a refurbished machine. It did not come with a instruction manual. Can I get a manual? I can't figure out on how to thread it. (SINGER 44S CLASSIC HEAVY DUTY MECHANICAL SEWING MACHINE) My rating would not be fair, since we have not used it yet! Thank you!

This refurbished Singer 44S was purchased to be shipped to a friend in another state. It arrived quickly in two days...but without needed accessories for it to even sew! It's online description did not state what accessories it included, but the photos on the left side of the webpage show a machine with a buttonhole foot, an all purpose/zig zag foot and the large thread spool cap. It arrived without any of those and also did not have its small spool cap, nor the button sewing on foot, and not the zipper foot either. If you know about sewing machines, you know all those are needed or the machine can't sew. Other small items were also missing, such as a pack of needles and a lint brush, etc. IMHO those are of little concern. The missing accesories could be a one off mistake, but the machine does not even seem refurbished! Even though cosmetically OK, the machine has a straight stitch foot on it and the stitch width was set as wide as it could be set. The tension dial was set to 7. Even a sewist would not set up a machine that way, let alone a tech refurbishing a sewing machine. No way. Strangely, the 44S accessory package does not even have a straight stitch foot as part of its package, so a tech refurbishing the sewing machine would not have left that on there instead of putting on a general purpose/zig zag foot it's supposed to have on it. This is an AS IS machine and not a refurbished one. My friend can't test sew with it to know if it even sews well without the needed accessories. The word accessories sound like these items are superfluous, but they are actually imperative to sewing with the machine. It could have exchanged with this machine picked up by FedEx and another one sent...but the question to online customer service was if this refurbished machine sold and shipped by Walmart is supposed to include accessories or not...since it's not verbally described in its webpage online. The very nice customer service reps could not assure that the machine is to have accessories or not. I've bought several refurbished sewing machines in years past and they were always well set up with everything in their accessories package as offered when new...but that was well explained in their webpages. Online customer gave me the address and phone number to the distribution center and I will certainly contact them tomorrow. Thank you for reading this long review. Hope it helps someone else from an unpleasant surprise.

Needle was out of alignment and kept hitting bottom plate. Tried many needles, all new. I dont know how to fix this issue and shouldn't have to on a supposedly refurbished unit. I definitely won't buy another singer, used or new.

I bought a refurbished machine for the wife. Motor spins, but nothing happens. If you flip over to wind the bobbin, that works, but in the normal position, nothing is happening. Fresh out of the box, and not working. Box was oil stained on top. I will be returning it tomorrow and ordered another, same. See what happened with the second. Good thing Walmart has easy returns.

Need to Return.. Not complete case missing bottom. awkward table setting to use sewing machine

After 7 months from purchase this item It's broken now and I can't return it back so. Lost my money DON'T BUY IT
