I'm enjoying the speed and capabilities of this machine. The adjustment of the foot allows for ease in seeing thicker materials and the needle does shift.
I first learned to sew when I was 8 years old on a treadle sewing machine and still have an antique one I've used on heavy fabric projects such as leather goods, etc. I am happy that my new Heavy Duty Singer does the job as well, and is also replacing my 50 year old, solid metal, electric Kenmore. These days most of my sewing is home improvement projects, i.e. Roman Shades for 5 windows, or mending denim jeans, and redesigning items. I love this machine because it has very similar features to the one I have used for so many years and is much, much lighter and easier to move around, but has the important components still made of durable metal. I expect my new Singer to become my "favorite" and will be giving my computerized Brothers machine to my 8 yr.old granddaughter who is much more technically minded than her Grandmother who still has to pull out the manual to thread it!
Singer is a tradition in my family, everything about the brand represents good quality and the best memories ever. I emigrate to USA 5 years ago and buying this machine was like to be at home again. I highly recommend this product or what ever Singer of your preference. I would like to bring more than five stars for sure. Thanks
Couldn't get my 40+ year old Singer Stylist 543 repaired recently due to temporary closing of repair shop. Found the 4452 Heavy Duty sewing machine on the website and decided to purchase. No regrets. Only downside is the needle threader doesn't work. Would have rated 5 stars if it would have worked. Love that the app is very helpful! Have used it a few times.
I am so very pleased with this Singer model. Easy to operate

This is my second Singer (my first I bought in 1966) and I'm pleased with it. I made a small quilt as a "test" and it did a good job. The only thing I would like is to be able to select a wider stitch length for basting. My old machine would stitch 6 stitches per inch and that was very handy to have.
