Poor quality

Was totally excited about the automatic thread option, but the least little thing causes it not to work. Being sold as a “ heavy duty machine” I feel that I should be able to sew over a flat felled seam with ease. But for some reason this thing keeps getting stuck mid stitch. Totally frustrated and over this machine! Guess I’m going back to my old stand by and using the walking foot! Thanks for nothing Singer.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Purchased this machine and I have to get it repaired already. Very disappointed. The sewing needle doesn't lock into position, as I am sewing the needle slides to the left creating an uneven unprofessional seam. Now I have to pay for a repair on a brand new machine. Not good!! Very disappointed.

I am embarrassed to share that both my parents own sewing machines and are master seamstress (mom) and expert sewer (dad). However, neither of them ever taught me or my two sisters (now in our 40s) how to sew, not a stitch. I recently purchased the Singer 4452 directly from the company. Purchasing online from Singer was simple and at a good fair price compared to other venders. The machine is awesome. I live 3,000 miles from family these days. This machine has given me and may parents something else to talk about. In 7 minutes or less, mom had me up and running. Dad is impressed. Also, the Singer instructional videos on their website and YouTube are terrific. I'm running out of fabric to practice on. Luckily, my husband recently lost 50+ pounds and has plenty of shirts to discard. Instant practice fabric, yahoo. I'm enjoying this machine. I highly recommend to all.
I have used this machine for one project so far. It runs very smoothly no matter the speed you sew at! The thread and bobbin are super easy to put in, and the additional supplies make it easy to switch presser feet and store needles and other supplies. The reason I am giving this machine 4/5 stars is because of the needle positioning wheel. I am not sure how this happened in the construction of this particular machine, but when the position wheel claims the needle is set in the center position, it is actually 1 mm to the left of where it should be (yes, I measured). If I find myself needing the move the needle's position, I have to carefully realign it to true center. I know 1 mm doesn't seem like much, and maybe it doesn't affect the inseam of any patterns I sew together in the long term, but I prefer to trust that what my machine claims is the center position is actually the center position.

It costs over half of what this one advertised costs to repair malfunctioning bobbin casing. I would hesitate to buy another like it. However my 90 year old singer works just fine.

Timing issues right out the box

Right out the box it seemed great but after getting a bobbin wound and loaded up and the top thread routed it just wouldn't sew. After lifting the plate and looking at the timing hook I found out the hook was a bit slow.
