I bought this machine to replace my old trusty singer to use as a backup. Well, it now takes its spot as my primary machine! It's so easy to use! And that reverse stitch? Amazing. I don't even have to stop sewing to use it. I love when I step on the pedal that there is no delay unlike some other computerized machines! It can get so frustrating when my other machine dictates how fast i can go. Free the pedal! This machine takes off from 0-60 in 1.2 seconds! Simple, no nonsense machine, with just enough features to not overwhelm you with all the high falootin-ness. Get this machine and git er dun!
Made one item before it "locked up" drove it100 miles to repair shop. He took it apartand oiled it up well while I watched". Took it home (100 miles back), worked great while I almost finished a second item, locked up again. Drove it to repair again, new part required ( you mean 300 more miles!), traded it in on an old Kenmore on the shelf. Been happily sewing ever since!

This machine is terrible. Bought it new and was told it would sew heavy fabrics. I have had so much trouble getting the right tension. I have retreaded many times to try to get it to stitch right. I have had it for a while and every time I use it I end up with a mess with the stitching. Never another Singer for me. I wish I had never got it. And it wasn't cheap!
I wanted a machine without a bunch of digital features that would inevitably break and I'd be unable to repair. I've used my roommate's brother for several years. It has a million different stitches and fancy features, but when it broke recently (and she can't fix it), I decided it was time to get my own. I wanted a reliable, sturdy machine that I could fix when needed. This thing looks like it's out of the 1960s, but it's perfect. Runs great! I haven't sewn any thicker fabrics yet, but am looking forward to doing so without any issues.
After using a Singer Touch and Sew 758 for over 40 years I was a little disappointed in the 4452 machine. It runs loud and hard but I’ll keep sewing with it hopefully it will loosen up. What I don’t like is the bobbin having to take it out to fill, I was spoiled to my old machine. Overall, I haven’t had it long enough to say what it will or will not do. I do know that I can’t use all my singer attachments.
This is a wonderful machine. I can sew sheers and multiple layers of wool. I love how easily it works with all fabrics with the right needles. I is heavy enough that when I sew it doesnt move around. I really like the handle on top, makes it easier to move around. This is a top quality machine I recommend
L.O.V.E It!!! sadly had to replace my old workhorse, the 4552 SW...the new one, sews smoother, and still powerful...the new features did not hurt either..;-). glad I waited until they were back in stock and purchased the 4452..hope this one lasts even longer than the old one.
I purchased this machine to replace a 40-year-old Singer 935 which I dearly loved. The 4452 so far is living up to its predecessor. My only recommendation to Singer would be to put on a six inch longer cord going to the foot pedal. My "sewing room" is my kitchen counter and the cord just barely reaches the floor which causes the foot pedal to float and wiggle around on the floor unless my foot is actually on it.
