Just from picking up the machine, the user can tell it is sturdy. Have yet to had an issue that was due to the machine. All parts of the machine look and feel nice.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thank you for the 5-star review of the Singer Heavy Duty model 4452 sewing machine. Your satisfaction is what we strive for and your feedback is very important to us.
I wanted a heavy duty sewing machine so I could do upholstery projects. My first project with this machine was reupholstering an old office chair. It worked great! The tension was perfect and needed no adjustment. It was easy to learn how to use it. My experience with sewing is between beginner to intermediate.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Some features defective

My first experience with a Singer sewing machine to replace an old Brothers. This machine works for basic stitches, but when it comes to doing button holes and other fancy stitches, it will not work. I've tried every tutorial, every troubleshooting guide and recruited the help of an experienced friend; my machine will absolutely not do button holes. I occasionally hear clunks, thread breakages, and it jams in a way that requires disassembly of the machine. I've spent more time fixing jams than I have used the machine. Overall, I'm disappointed and will be sticking with other brands.

After using the same machine for over 40 years, it is going to take time to get acquainted with a new one! Old friends are hard to part with. So far, I am liking the new 4452 singer. I am not a casual seamstress, I am serious and tackle big projects, I was in the middle of a project when my old reliable machine became terminally ill. Guess what! The Heavy Duty 4452 popped up in my email! Thank you Singer for coming to my rescue.

Works for a few minutes then breaks repeatedly. Have to reset it ten times an hour.

It's ok could be better

I upgraded from my old sewing machine that's a discounted brand. I wish the foot petal cord was longer it's very short on my workshop table so it hangs unfortunately. I didn't find any difference in heavy duty sewing comparing to my old machine I use to sew thick layers of fur and leather. I like the auto threader makes it easy to change needles. The storage is very small vs my old machine had a bigger compartment with a solid carrying case vs Singer only providing a dust cover. Quality of machine is low almost all plastic vs my old machine was mostly metal. I will keep searching for a machine that fits my needs.
