Customer Reviews for Singer - 4452 Heavy Duty Sewing Machine - Gray

Verified Purchase:Yes
I just got into sewing this summer. I was sharing my mom's Husqvarna from 1974 (which still runs amazingly), but with so many projects I decided I should buy my own. I am sewing clothes and a quilt currently, and I really just needed a straight stitch, zig zag, and a buttonhole. For my needs this machine is perfect! I have yet to try heavy fabrics, but it sews right over four layers of flannel easily! I was surprised by how useful the needle threader actually is, and the only extra thing I've bought so far is more bobbins. I've only had the machine for a month, but so far so good.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this a month ago . I love it . I love that the buttons are basic only what is necessary and you don’t need a manual to figure out how to use it. .. and that it has the feature to help thread the needle !!( never had this feature in a machine and can’t live without it now . My son is redoing a motor home and I was able to reupholster all the cushions in it ! It was a breeze. It is powerful and never messed up once . Highly recommend this machine and is an excellent price point!! Also like that it is grey as the white ones tend to yellow after years .
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this for my husband, who makes quilts with me---we lost everything we had to a fire on July 24,2025, and this is our first purchase to start sewing again. He loves the machine, well worth the investment.

I use this machine for simple projects. It seems to work as a basic machine, but lacks some simple features such as auto-adjustment for material width that are standard on comparable machines. I sew elastic belts with sew-on velcro, and this machine does not handle them very well, skipping stitches and losing the bobbin at times. This is really disappointing as it is supposed to be a heavy duty machine. For the price, I wish I would have gotten a different machine might not have been 'heavy duty', but would have been easier for a novice sewer like myself.

I researched the best sewing machine that suites my needs.

I like it because it is heavy duty, easy threading (It shows in the machine where to thread it step by step; same with the bobbin) and the easy needle threading. The Singer sewing assistant helps but I prefer a live instruction like the one in You Tube by different sewers instead of just pictures of instructions. But prefer to get the live video instructions on different features and projects from the Singer Company itself. There should be more definite instructions on when to use the lowering feet at the back of the machine on definite kind of fabric (to state on what type of fabric) aside from quilting.

Sad about my Singer

I really was impressed with my machine for the first 3 months. In month four, my machine seemed to have terrible tension problems out of the clear blue. I tried adjusting the tension using the knobs provided, but nothing. I was forced to take my 4-month-old machine to a repair shop because when I contacted Singer, I was told the warranty expired for those parts in 90 days. However, they did note that the plastic case, foot petal and light had a longer warranty, REALLY!!?? that was no help to me. I took it to a repair shop and was told the timing was messed up. The repair expense was $90. It is sad that Singer does not have enough faith in the quality of its own product to give it a longer warranty on all the parts. I had a 25 year old Kenmore prior to this machine and took it to the repair shop at the same time. It needed some basic maintenance and it is back up and running fine. I am now sewing on my old Kenmore and using my Singer as a paper weight. In summary, if you are lucky and your machine does not fall apart after the first 3 months, it is a great machine, but I was not that lucky.

This machine did not stitch properly and none of the trouble shooting techniques listed in the manual (that I had to download) worked. Extremely disappointed in this machine.
