My old Singer is 60+ years old and was a wedding gift from my mother. It served me well, but I wanted an upgrade with several options. I just finished recovering my sofa pillows (11). Singer Heavy Duty is great!
I bought a few weeks ago. I thought being HeavyDuty would do better. But bent 1 and broke a needle fixing the rolled edge of a bath towel. Won't do jeans well either
I have owned this machine for a few weeks. I am a beginner at sewing. I like the machine. It is easy to put thread on a bobbin. It is somewhat difficult to thread the bobbin correctly when putting it in the base. Is there an easier way that I don't know about? Used some Coats & Clark Outdoor Thread (very heavy) to sew a waterproof backed fabric through two layers of very thick border. Had to roll the wheel to start by hand. Very difficult puncture. Then foot pedal. Sewed the entire padded two layer border with no issues. Crooked as all get out (I told you I'm new) but that rascal is sewn-up. Seriously, that was a hard test. I give the machine 90 out of 100 for that performance.
I bought this machine as a christmas gift to myself. I am very diappointed with the design. I find it very difficult to opperate. The numbers on the throat plate are too far to the rear and difficult to see. The voltage of the light seems to low to illumiate the work space. The all purpose foot is to wide, can't see the needle while sewing. I wish I had bought another model.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Biggest piece of crap. Has never worked right since purchase. Im going to have to pay to look at something I have never been able to use. Opened my old black singer to use instead. Unfortunately the cord is missing since my move. Hope I can find one

I purchased this recently. It is my third Singer 4452, but this one is different! I cannot remove the bobbin case without removing six different screws that are so small that I have to use a magnetic screw driver, a long handled screw driver, and “my husband” to do so! Not being able to simply remove the bobbin case so that lint can be cleaned from underneath is a pain in the neck and is very very difficult because the machine screws are so short. What a bummer, SINGER! I won’t buy another 4452 and I therefore do NOT recommend this product any longer!
