I decided to learn how to sew during this epidemic. With the help of you tube, the Singer manual, and Singer tutorials, I am now making cloth face masks and sharing them with friends and family. I find sewing very relaxing and look forward to fixing my own damaged clothing from now on! :-)
I am an experienced sewer. I have had the same machine (which was expensive high end) for 40 years. It has been a workhorse, I'm used to it and it was an excellent machine. Although still functional, it was just getting worn out. So I bought this one based on the ease of buttonholes. Man have I ever been happy I bought it. This us one versatile workhorse. I am extremely satisfied, and a bit impressed!
I worked with this machine before, and my past experience was not so great. Now having it for myself, I had time to sit down and get to know the in's and out's a bit better. I now know I misjudged it's capabilities, and have a new found respect for this model. I'm happy I gave it a second chance to prove me wrong. And it did just that! And under "our current circumstances" customer service was very good and Susan was very helpful! I'm happy with my purchase and could not have asked for a better experience. Cheers to Singer for answering the calls of many in our time of need❤️ many thanks!
Very pleased with my purchase! Love the needle threader.

The ease of use on this machine is wonderful. This machine has inspired me to consider new seeing projects. I wish I would've received a product manual with the machine outlining the different stitches and stitch length/width settings.
I am using my new Singer making masks for the people in need during the COVID19 pandemic. I chose this machine due to the fact it was heavy duty and would sew through the material and the elastic also. Best sewing machine I have had !! Easy to purchase and fast delivery. Thanks so much Singer !!
Will only purchase Singer sewing machines from now on!

I grew up sewing on a Singer Sewing Machine that my mother used for over 50 years. I had borrowed some sewing machines from my daughter (a Kenmore and a Brother), I had a LOT of issues with both of those machines and then purchased a newer Brother machine and it broke down within 24 hours (the bobbin casing fell out and the needle is now stuck and I cannot move the wheel), I then purchased the Singer machine and have NOT had any problems with it. I am making masks and headbands with buttons for local nursing home staff and residents and needed a dependable machine that I can get this project completed. This Singer has worked extremely well for me and has allowed me to get a LOT of masks and headbands completed. I will never buy any other brand of machines again!

I finally bit the bullet and upgraded to this machine about three months ago and I have been so happy I did. This is a very forgiving machine, easy to operate and maintain. The biggest problems I've run into is upper thread breaking or bunching when I start sewing, but all I have to do is rethread the machine (and I have to mention it doesn't do this with higher quality threads) I haven't changed any of the factory settings because I haven't needed to. I also love all the different presser feet, especially the side cutter attachment. Who needs a serger? I've used this machine for making masks, pajamas, craft items and pillows (and making piping with the zipper foot was a breeze). I even completed my first quilting project using the quilting guide attachment. I would highly recommend this machine for anyone who needs a workhorse that isn't finicky and complicated.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Dear Deena,
We are absolutely thrilled that you found your perfect match in the Heavy Duty 4452 sewing machine! It is a great machine that we fondly refer to as a "true workhorse". Thanks for sharing your good experience with us. We hope you'll stop by again soon!
