I recently purchased this model as a machine to transport to and from my quilting class. The reason I purchased a Singer was because I have been sewing with the same Singer machine for nearly 40 years and it has never failed me. Well let me tell you, my new machine did not have 40 minutes on it before the bobbin jammed and it took me an hour to untangle it. I did not panic but went through the instructions to make sure I was doing everything right. After rethreading, rewinding the bobbin and holding my mouth the right way, the machine did sew again. Since that first attempt, i have not gone back to the machine once that it did not jam and I had to rethread, rewind the bobbin and hold my breath to sew for a bit. This is most frustrating. I would not recommend this machine and have lost my faith in Singer.
This is my second singer heavy duty it is a great bargain for a good sewing machine. I have used my first machine to near death. I sew many layers of up cycled denim from old jeans. I have been so happy with my first singer heavy duty I did not see any need to look any further.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this machine when I stripped the gears on another brand and model. I sew very thick amounts of fabric and discovered a heavier duty model was needed. So I went back in time to a Singer. I am 1 very happier sewer since zi came back to Singer and upgraded to a 4452! I ❤️ all aspects this machine!
This machine is just what I needed to mend clothes and sew some clothes and costumes. The variety of stitches and ease of operation has made it a pleasure to sew on.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Time Machine - Not Sewing Machne

Over the past few years I've spent more time trying to get this to sow than actually getting a stitch to be made. Endless hours of coaxing this terrible machine to sew. It gets me half into a project then the horror begins - it will not sow for any number of reasons. Why does it sow fine for a while and then simple go to ruin while working with the same materials? I thought maybe I should replace the bobbin holder, but guess what? THERE ARE NO PARTS!! Their website seems to have left that out, just some wonderful accessories I do not need.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

waste of good sewing money!

i would not waste another penny especially on this machine , i own 2 other singer machines and this by far is the worst new machine i ever purchased. my old stylist is by far the best one that i own . but after all the tension problems with this machne even with two diifferent threads one in the bobbin and one one top it has sewing mistakes you have to use the same kinda thread above and below. threads always breaking tension is always needing adjusting . its horrible !!
Machine seemed somewhat noisy when received. Action was smooth' however. After using the machine a few days my wife said it sounded like it needed lubrication. Upon inspection I found that the gear set that drives the bobbin shuttle had a small glob of grease on the side of one gear' with about 10% of the meshing surface having any grease. The cam that drops the feed dogs had a small spot of grease on the wrong side of the arm with no lobe on the bearing surface. The felt lube wicks were pristine and dry. They never saw a drop of oil. After living the machine it mow runs significantly quieter.
