The Singer Magic Press 4 is a versatile sewing machine that offers a variety of features to enhance your sewing experience. This machine is equipped with 10 built-in stitch patterns, including straight stitches, zigzag stitches, and decorative stitches. It also has a built-in buttonhole function, making it easy to create buttonholes in a seamless manner. One of the standout features of the Singer Magic Press 4 is its automatic needle threader. This handy tool takes the frustration out of threading the needle, as it effortlessly threads the needle with just a push of a button. It also has a top drop-in bobbin system, which makes it easy to insert and remove the bobbin.
I did find several other brands and this Singer suddenly appeared on my screen. Magic, indeed. It was priced somewhat lower than the others and the seller was only 2.5 hours away from my house by car. Thus, shipping was low and it was an auction so I continued to bide my time and bid accordingly at the very last minute, around 10 pm. $20 later (plus $12 in shipping) and the Singer Magic Press 4 was mine. But due to the sheer number of positives I'd read about the Elna, the Singer wasn't the one I wanted. Thinking I should have waited or ponied up the cash (Am I being cheap instead of frugal?), I waited for the Singer to arrive, none too excited, thinking about how I'd word a listing in order to sell it. ("Works like magic!" "Iron your hair!")
Reading a number of blogs, websites, reader comments, and product reviews, I ve found that a number of tailors use clothes presses similar to the kind you see above, the Singer Magic Press 4. Some of these comments wax veritably poetic about just how much time can be saved, the professional results, the ease, and the less harmful to cloth a press can be compare to a typical hand-held iron.

The Singer Magic Press 4 has a free arm feature, which allows you to easily sew in tight spaces or on narrow pieces of fabric. This makes it especially useful for tasks such as hemming garments or sewing cuffs and sleeves.

Some of these comments wax veritably poetic about just how much time can be saved, the professional results, the ease, and the less harmful to cloth a press can be compare to a typical hand-held iron. Not quite convinced (Why doesn't everyone have one, then?), I began searching for the brand that kept being mentioned: Elna. Elna was purchased some years ago by the Japanese sewing giant Janome. A new clothes press from Janome currently costs about $399. We at Tight Acres have decided that vintage is the only way I'm going to get one of these modern wonders.
I searched craigslist and eventually found an Elnapress 2000 for $60. It looked good in the picture but it was about 2 hours from my house. I never heard back from the seller and it eventually disappeared from the site. I assume it sold. I then searched eBay and there were a few but the prices were much higher and shipping costs made several of them prohibitively expensive. I'd have to iron a whole lot of tablecloths (something I almost never use) and jockstraps (ditto) in order to make back the money I'd saved in time and effort.

The very next morning at about 5:30 am, I fired up the laptop and went to craigslist. In searching for the same or similar Singer press to see whether I'd gotten a good deal, I found this for $30. Now how often does that happen, i.e. the very next day you find exactly what you've been looking for in pristine condition for almost the exact same price only about 30 minutes away? WTF?
I've forgiven myself already. Lesson: it's sometimes better to wait. I've lived my entire life without a clothes press and a few more weeks until I find one I really want won't kill me.
I'll give full reviews of both as soon as I've used them enough to write something meaningful, perhaps even 'impressive'. Stay tuned.

Reviews for "How the Singer Magic Press 4 Makes Ironing a Breeze for Busy Moms"
1. John - 1 star
I bought the Singer Magic Press 4 a few months ago and I have been really disappointed with it. First of all, it doesn't produce enough steam to effectively remove wrinkles from my clothes. I have to go over the same spot multiple times just to get some results. Secondly, the temperature control is not accurate at all. I've ruined a few delicate fabrics because the iron got too hot even on the lowest setting. Overall, I regret buying this iron and I would not recommend it to anyone.
2. Sarah - 2 stars
I had high hopes for the Singer Magic Press 4, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations. The steam function is really weak and doesn't do a good job of removing wrinkles. Also, the iron plate doesn't glide smoothly over the fabric, causing a lot of friction and sometimes even leaving marks. Additionally, the handle is not very comfortable to grip, especially during longer ironing sessions. I would suggest looking for other options before settling for this iron.
3. Lisa - 2 stars
I found the Singer Magic Press 4 to be quite disappointing. The water tank is small and needs constant refilling, which can be quite annoying. The steam output is also inconsistent, sometimes producing too much steam and at other times barely any. Moreover, the iron is quite heavy and cumbersome to use. Overall, I think there are better irons available in the market for the same price range. I would not recommend this product.

The Singer Magic Press 4 is a complete waste of money. I purchased it because of the brand's reputation, but it turned out to be a huge disappointment. The iron takes too long to heat up, and even then, it doesn't maintain a steady temperature. This leads to uneven ironing results and sometimes even scorching of the fabric. The steam function is weak and doesn't produce enough steam to effectively remove wrinkles. I regret buying this iron and I would advise others to steer clear of it.
