Customer Reviews for Singer - 4452 Heavy Duty Sewing Machine - Gray

Verified Purchase:Yes
I ordered this sewing machine for my mother who has been a a seamtress for many yrs. Unfortunately when it takes the thread in, the thread becomes a tangled mess, the type of fabric doesn't seem to matter. My mother has always been faithful to the Singer brand which has made the decision to return this item even more difficult.

I teach Home Economics at a local Bible college. After reading all the reviews I purchased this sewing machine for use in the class and for my own personal use. As far as sewing, it does a great job. The reason for only three stars is the the machine is difficult to thread, even with the automatic needle threader, and the plastic body makes the machine sound “clunky” compared to my other sewing machines. It also comes with only Size 16 needles when a variety of needles would be better for such a versatile sewing machine.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Bought this a few months ago, I’m a truck driver not a seamstress, however I do remember how to sew. 3 layers of fleece and it jammed and skipped timing, local repair guy said it’s not worth it for the amount of hours it would take him, now I have a paper weight
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I purchased this machine a week ago and have been using it for making pocketbooks/purses. It is great on heavy and thick fabric. It has been a dream to use. However, the sewing machine foot is of very cheap quality. I have two other older Singer models that work great but don't handle very thick fabrics well. I also have three other brands of sewing machines and all of them have better feet then this one. I really would like to upgrade it. Since I've only been using it for a short time I hope it will last, but I must say the quality is not what Singer use to be.

I just got into sewing this summer. I was sharing my mom's Husqvarna from 1974 (which still runs amazingly), but with so many projects I decided I should buy my own. I am sewing clothes and a quilt currently, and I really just needed a straight stitch, zig zag, and a buttonhole. For my needs this machine is perfect! I have yet to try heavy fabrics, but it sews right over four layers of flannel easily! I was surprised by how useful the needle threader actually is, and the only extra thing I've bought so far is more bobbins. I've only had the machine for a month, but so far so good.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this a month ago . I love it . I love that the buttons are basic only what is necessary and you don’t need a manual to figure out how to use it. .. and that it has the feature to help thread the needle !!( never had this feature in a machine and can’t live without it now . My son is redoing a motor home and I was able to reupholster all the cushions in it ! It was a breeze. It is powerful and never messed up once . Highly recommend this machine and is an excellent price point!! Also like that it is grey as the white ones tend to yellow after years .
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought it several years ago and think the stitch quality is good.

I use this machine for simple projects. It seems to work as a basic machine, but lacks some simple features such as auto-adjustment for material width that are standard on comparable machines. I sew elastic belts with sew-on velcro, and this machine does not handle them very well, skipping stitches and losing the bobbin at times. This is really disappointing as it is supposed to be a heavy duty machine. For the price, I wish I would have gotten a different machine might not have been 'heavy duty', but would have been easier for a novice sewer like myself.
