The needle positions doesn’t work on either of my heavy duties don’t know why and the speed is slower than my last heavy duty. But all in all a work horse nonetheless.

We regret to learn that you are having issues with your Singer Heavy Duty model 4452 sewing machine. Needle position for a straight stitch can be adjusted two ways on our Heavy Duty machines. The first way uses the needle position dial. The second way uses the stitch width dial. To center your needle, your needle position dial needs to be set to center position and your stitch width dial needs to be set to “0”. The needle position dial will not function unless the width dial is on “0”. If this doesn’t resolve your issue please contact us at: https://www.singer.com/Contact-Us and one of our Customer Care representatives will be happy to assist with you.
I love the machine. Needed a heavy duty machine to mend my husband's and son's work clothes (heavy denim and duck cloth) and for home décor projects. My only complaint is that the automatic needle threader on the machine stopped working after about 2 weeks. It was great while it worked but then it just stopped. Glad my eyesight is still good and I can thread my own machine. Other than that, I have no complaints. It works well on all types of fabrics and comes with a large number of attachments.
Love my new machine. Arrived ready to go. Would have preferred a paper instruction booklet. You only have an online one. I had an older version of this machine and some parts have been replaced with plastic like the bobbin compartment cover that you have to take completely off to insert the bobbin. Also the stitching guides are harder to see
no Manual included, so you have to get on the internet to find out how to use it. All they give you is how to thread machine and how to fill the bobbins.

Ugly color, but a good machine. Wore out the gears on my old Touch&Sew, so I needed a new machine. Variety of stitches is good, but no chain stitch for basting. Bobbin must be wound on top of the machine rather than in the bobbin case. Came with several extra feet. Hoped my old feet would work, but this is "low profile", so had to buy extra feet too.

Very quick delivery, nearly perfect condition. I got it to make a cover for my 17' boat (N.E. Dory) Worked great, sewing plastic tarp. Rank beginner. Only complaint was that needle threader was not aligned, no instructions for correcting that. Looking for a good solution without taking machine in for service.
