Abstract: We work in the smooth category. Let $N$ be a closed connected orientable 4-manifold with torsion free $H_1$, where $H_q:=H_q(N;Z)$. Our main result is a complete readily calculable classification of embeddings $No{R}^7$, up to the equivalence relation generated by isotopy and embedded connected sum with embeddings $S^{4}o{R}^7$. Such a classification was already known only for $H_1=0$ by the work of Bo'echat, Haefliger and Hudson from 1970. Our classification involves the Bo'echat-Haefliger invariant $varkappa(f)in{H}_2$, Seifert bilinear form $lambda(f):H_{3}imes{H}_{3}oZ$ and $$-invariant $$ which assumes values in a quotient of $H_1$ defined by values of $varkappa(f)$ and $lambda(f)$. In particular, for $N=S^{1}imes{S}^3$ we give a geometrically defined 1-1 correspondence between the set of equivalence classes of embeddings and an explicit quotient of the set $ZoplusZ$. Our proof is based on development of Kreck modified surgery approach, involving some simpler reformulations, and also uses parametric connected sum.
