Been eyeing the heavy duty 4432 from Singer but when i saw the comparison video, i think iwill get this one. I’ve been at a store this afternoon too and they proposed this machine as well. I am now convinced. I’ll get this one tomorrow
Brought out in 2020 - It's a new machine and it's clearly designed with the modern sewer in mind - have a watch and let me know what you think. I definitely recommend this for a beginner
What a great machine with all those options for a GREAT price too. You really do not need more stitches than this machine offers. When I started sewing a bit over a year ago, I wanted a machine with many stitches, but I ended up not really using the decorative stitches at all. This machine would be wonderful for beginners and also for advanced sewing people :)
Just got mine yesterday, and tried it out for few hours. This is the first time I ever use sewing machine. I learned a lot watching a lot of videos before it came. Unfortunately it didn't come with paper user manual but I already got the pdf one. I think the machine more than enough for home user, and the pedal is very good and responsive.
@@AbisDen Many thanks. I have just watched your patchwork cushion cover tutorial: I am very much a beginner (even though i'm middleaged!), but found your instructions easy to follow.
My husband has just bought me one of these for my Xmas present (early but need to make presents with). It is coming tomorrow so watching this to prepare myself. Really excited.
I watched this review and persuaded my husband to buy me one for my birthday! It’s arrived, but I have to wait a couple of weeks...so hard!! I was really pleased that you reviewed sewing both heavy material and very fine, that definitely swung it for me. I’ve now subscribed to your RUclips channel and Instagram. Thank you!
owned this machine for 8 months now and it performs flawlessly my only gripe is where the reverse lever is positioned, sorry might be just me i'me a lefty, but other than that it's brill. it seems to go through everything i put through it, well done Necchi a genuine quality machine.
Hi @Abi's Sewing Den, I look a lot of your video because i like the way you explain the machine and test them, are you going to make a video on the C35 in comparison to this as well, please? Is there a way to slow down this one a bit?? It is harder keep controls at this speed I think on thick materials. Thank you and good job.
I always wondered about that black button on the side of the presser foot I have seen on some machines. Mine doesn't have one as it automatically sets the foot according to the fabric I am using. Yes, it sounds posh but I spent years with a treadle Singer of my mothers and, as I have got older I have been able to gradually upgrade to my forever machine. It isn't the most expensive machine, I suppose middling, but it does what I want.
Having watched this review along with the brother machine I know which I'd choose. I hope folk from both these company's are watching to see what reviewers are finding with their products. Thanks Abi, enjoyed both.
if you don't mind me asking what website did u buy it in? because the only one that comes up on my google is "Sew vac direct " is that where u got it from ?
Love watching you unboxing all the machines. Must say it’s so sad that Necchi along with others sold their brand name. I have an old Necchi Sylvia from the 70’s that is still a wonderful machine. I have switched over to Bernina ( 1980’s) that I love. I have newer machines like brother Jenome but in my opinion the quality isn’t there. Still love to see you unboxing xx
Thanks you help more that the company videos! I had problems controlling the stitches and it was the top + and - left button to adjust for the thickness of the fabric. I couldn’t found in the manual. Thanks !
I have been looking at a machine for sewing denim and pvc and oilcloth bags and think this would be perfect although started sewing classes and instructor suggested the lighter Nicchi as £100 cheaper but think this one best and will last. Thank-you gor such good and clear, reviews.
@@AbisDen I got this machine but found out foot goes very fast and I thought it would go slower for more intricate pieces but does not, wee bit disappointed.x
Please can you compare the singer heavy duty 4432 vs the necchi q132a which is more heavy duty and give your more for your money? A video comparison would be great. Thank you
Lovely machine. Good and strong and looks really easy to use for a beginner or more experienced. It looks like it is built to last. Thanks for this review. I don't need another machine but, if anyone I know asks me, I can point them in the direction of your reviews.
In the USA there is a pretty significant difference in price - almost $170 between a Singer HD and this one. Less if you account for an included extension table. The K series from Necchi with a weaker motor is much cheaper - $180 or so. But I am tempted by this one - thank you for the review! One question - on Singer people complain that a soft start is very difficult to achieve and on some it is possible to adjust a potentiometer in the foot pedal. How sensitive is a foot pedal on this one - can you start off slowly? Thanks in advance!
Hi, thank you for that. I don't think there is much you can do to alter the potentiometer unless your'e an electrician, I'm not. I would say the machine has good overall speed control on this machine.
I just got one for Christmas yesterday!!! I've only been hinting at wanting one ever since you 1st uploaded this video a few years ago!!! Took a lil while for it to ship over to Western NY, where we live. And WELL worth the wait! I LOVE it!!! And I would've never known about it - if it wasn't for you!!!! You have the BEST sewing advice!!!!! Thank you!!!!
Oh wow!!! That’s really amazing. I’m so pleased you’re happy. It is really an amazing machine. I can’t believe you managed to ship one across. Happy sewing Dani!! 😊 Enjoy
When backstitching is there an option to set the machine to just do one backstitch when using the pedal? Or one front stitch? Or are these options only available by manually rotating the handwheel? Often it's hard to get a perfectly aligned stitch if having to press the backstitch lever and rotate the handwheel at the same time, I prefer being able to hold onto the fabric. How sensitive is the pedal? Does it take off at great speed or will I be able to do that one stitch easily with full control? Thanks for a great channel!
Hi Abi, love my new Necchi, but still having issues with tension at times. I’m making a quilted mat for it, tension fine on practice fabric but when quilting, it’s off! Can you do a video on tension pleeease? Thank you 😊
That looks a great option for bag making. I want to try it! I remember when you reviewed a different make of machine and the extension table did not git smoothly and there were gaps, this one looks to fit so snuggly.
Great balanced review. A true workhorse and given how well it worked with the leatherette would be interested if it would work well with quilting layers.
So I finally bought this because I watched your video comparing it with the Singer HD & Brother HD. I initially was going for the Brother HD. So far, I like it. Questions for you or anyone who have this machine, what type of bobbins does it use? I can't find it anywhere in the manual. Can I use the Brother bobbins since I have a lot of those? They seem to be equal just the Brother is a tad bit thinner. The one that came with the Necchi is a little thicker. But I don't want to mess up the tension or whatever else if I start using the bobbins I have on hand. Thanks in advance.
hi , about the machine i want to make denim jeans with it what kind of cords i should be looking at , and can it handle it ? recommended needle would be great. or you think i should go with other machine?
Hello, i am interested in this machine (after seeing your comparison video of the hd sewing machines). It sounds very strong and robust. Would this machine handle taking up jeans, sewing through the seams of jeans (which has several layers) and repairing jeans which is something that i need to be to do on a machine?
Hi Abi. Is there any way to make the needle stop in the down position when you finish sewing on this machine? It's a great machine but it puts me off using it for this reason. TIA 👍
Mechanical machines don’t do this, a digital, computerised machine can only do that. The problem with that is, no digital machine is robust as this machine, unless you start to spend serious money on the Juki HZL machines which have been the only computer machines I’ve ever considered worth buying
Great machine! I look forward to your video about tension. Can you also talk about the little black knob on the presser foot? I am trying to figure out its purpose!
I would say it could, but it depends on the thickness and density of rope. I would pick up a vintage machine from a marketplace ( eBay, gumtree, Facebook). You’ll get a machine that’s far superior to many modern HD machines and at a fraction of the price.
Hi Abi, Another great review from you it's a nice machine for sure but I was wondering why do manufacturers not standardise on sewing machine motors I've seen some at 70 watts and must say this niche that you have reviewed for the sake of another 20-watt motor in Regards Robert the machine does seem to sound like it has some strength in it , Regards Robert
@@AbisDen Yes I feel that it is, Because the little I know about domestic sewing machines, It's just that from the early days of hand-driven sewing machines our grandparents used when they first made a conversion from hand or foot driven to electric motor attachment, they were all the same capacity unless it was of an industrial type. It just seems right that all domestic sewing should be the same wattage. Kind regards Robert.
No, in fact because it’s smoother, it is quieter and definitely make a mat to help absorb the vibration and noise against the table. I’ve made a few mat videos to help you x
Hi Abi, I have a silver machine which comes with and all purpose zig zag foot that looks very similar to the one on this machine. It is a T foot. Would you know a bigger brand name that also uses a T foot that I can search for to find a replacement? I’ve tried searching for a T foot or a Necchi ZigZag foot but not getting any luck.
Thanks for this Abi! I bought the Q132a based on this review (and also figured out how to slow it down via the pedal electrical bits). Can I ask - what type of walking foot fits the necchi?
Hi Abi, another great review so now I’m confused, really though I wanted the Necchi NC204D but this one seems solid! Checked on Amazon, they’ve got 2 exactly the same but at different prices. One is slightly heavier at 8.38kg but cheaper at £232.50, odd! 🤔
That’s very odd. I don’t think there are variations. It’ll be dealers not writing the proper information up. You could visit the Necchi website for the correct details x
@@AbisDen i brought a sewing machine from their once, all the website was in italian, so was the instructions for the machine, a few other languages were available for the instructions, but not english ones, the plug was european, so you may need an adaptor also.
@@AbisDen I sew thick velvet fabric and my upper thread gets tangled under the fabric(where the lower thread is) I don’t know what to do, please help me I sew for a living
Nice machine, but it can't beat the bestselling Singer 4452 Heavy Duty that's currently around US$220.00. Sewing at 1,100 stitches per minute, the 4452 has 32 stitches with 110 stitch functions, 8 one-step buttonholes and many more premium features. A matching 2/3/4-thread Singer Heavy Duty serger that sews at 1,300 spm is also available for around US$279.00.
Haha. Is this an advert? I have the 4432 and ran it for years. The Necchi stands above the Singer easy ☺️ you can watch the comparison video here… Comparing The Very Best Affordable Heavy Duty Machines - November 2020 #sewwithabi #abisden ruclips.net/video/aZX61-TcPi0/видео.html

Hi Abi. Look's a great machine. And not much to go wrong with it. Great video as always.😊👍
Thanks for the great video. I was seriously looking at the Singer 4432 but your videos have changed my mind towards the Necchi Q132

All feedback is good feedback and Necchi are a friendly, listening company. I love my machine too 😊🪡💫

great, thanks for sharing, I bought one and a Necchi NL-11C also, yesterday, so it is so nice to get knowledge from expert 👍
Glad it was helpful! These newer Necchi machines are brilliant.
I never knew what the black button at the side of a foot was for! Love your videos x

I spent about an hour thinking it was broken, had the stitch width on zero😊❤️
Haha. We’ve all been there 😊🫣😂
What a fabulous machine, sounds great and just so fast. Great value too. x
It’s much better value than the singer though. £40 cheaper and you get the extension table. I’m impressed with what it can do. Great review Abi.
Have you tried the Necchi C35 creator series?
