Product Information

With a blue, gray and white color scheme, the Brother ST371HD probably isn’t going to win any awards for incredible aesthetics. At such a reasonable price point, it’s hard to find any real fault with theBrotherST371HD. Where to Buy theBrotherST371HD What it is, however, is reliable: it gets the job done. It’s also inexpensive. Beginner sewers and those on a budget will find excellent value for money. The Positives It’s great for heavy duty sewing as well as your usual everyday needs — whether that’s hemming your favorite jeans, sewing a Christmas play costume or trying to merge together outdoor fabrics. The HF27 features 27 stitch options including utility and decorative plus a 1-step buttonhole option for dressmaking projects.

A: If your Singer model 4423 machine manual does not include instructions on oiling, your machine has been pre-lubricated at the factory and will not need additional lubricating. You can, however, put 2 to 3 small drops of sewing machine oil in the bobbin case area, as well as on the needle bar; this will not harm the machine. You may also put a few drops (2 to 3) on the handwheel where it meets the side of the machine.A: Yes, the feed mechanism can be lowered to allow free-motion sewing. If you pull out the tray that holds the spare accessories, you will find the switch there. You can adjust the needle position as required by your various sewing techniques such as topstitching, edge stitching, piping insertion, zipper application, etc. There’s also no speed control available, which again may be a little unnerving for beginners who like to start their sewing slowly before building up the speed.

Sure, it doesn’t have the bells and whistles of other machines, but it’s sturdy, reliable and a great machine for sewing from home.The automatic needle threader, which is powered by simply pushing down the lever on the side, allows the thread to automatically thread the needle.

The Warranty Both sewing machines have an automatic needle threader that can effortlessly thread the needle’s eye, which can save you precious time and avoid eye strain.The Jog Dial easily selects the 27 stitches of the HF27 Strong & Tough. Including Straight and Zigzag stitches, a 1 step buttonhole and 12 Satin Stitches. The variety of stitches on this machine are perfect for clothing repairs, dressmaking and making home decorations. There’s no stop/start button and sewing must instead be started by moving the feet. This may take a little getting used to for beginners, although shouldn’t prove too much of a problem (even if it is a little inconvenient). For a beginner looking for long-lasting durability in a user-friendly sewing machine without breaking the bank, the Singer 4423 is the more appropriate choice. The Brother HF27, though more advanced in features and a wider variety of stitches, is quite pricey if you are only starting in your sewing journey.
