Been sewing on industrial Singer machines all of my life, wanted a portable one that I could use in other areas of my home and this is the best portable sewing machine I have owned. Comparable to the heavy-duty power machines I have used all of my life.
I bought this machine because it has metal parts. I can hem denim jeans, but it also does a fine job with light weight materials. It is not overly complicated. I really love it!
My new machine arrived just in time to help me make face masks for family, friends, neighbors and the local hospital. Made over 400 so far. The machine has worked perfectly. Glad to get back to a Singer. My last machine was not a Singer - what was I thinking?
This was my first time using a sewing machine period. I found the 4452 to be extremely easy setup and easy to use as well. I have already completed two projects and look forward to trying many more.
