Love the machine, but wish the plastic parts felt more durable. I bought this to replace my 30 year old singer which is not "heavy duty", but actually has more weight to it and feels more substantial. Agree with another persons comment that I read that the work light could be warmer/brighter, and that the "reverse" is in an awkward place. Was much more user friendly on the lower right front where my thumb could use it. Also, not sure that the straight stitch option on the wheel is lined up properly inside. the needle is not centered unless I keep the knob setting a bit off center.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Wanted a heavy duty sewing mach but this wasn’t it

Verified Purchase:Yes
I was disappointed as I wanted a “heavy duty” that would sew through heavier material to include craft projects & denim. I ended up breaking a heavy duty needle and having my thread bunch and not be able to complete my project (not once but continual). Works fine for lighter sewing but I already had a good machine for that. Was easy to thread and basic use. I should have paid attention to the other reviews I read before my purchase. I expected better from Singer & would return it if it wasn’t such a hassle.

My favorite sewing machine!!! I love to sew home decor (thick) fabrics. I have worn out other machines but this one handles heavy duty sewing with ease.
I purchased this machine in June when my 30yo Babylock failed to sew a thick seam. Worked well until this weekend when the bobbin winder stopped working, and the thread tension was very off. I adjusted the top thread tension to no avail finally resorting to adjusting the machine tension. They say you shouldn’t have to adjust the machine tension on a machine for normal sewing. I found that not to be the case for this one.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Have been sewing for 50+ years, and started on an old black straight stitch machine. My first new machine was a Touch and Sew, which I used for 30 years. Then went to a used singer, and now this is my second new machine. (I'm old school, no computerized machine for this gal) Love my 4452, not much to look at, but then neither am I anymore, lol. It works great and does heavy fabric great. Didn't think I was going to like the see through bobbin door, or transparent bobbins, but it is nice seeing how much thread you have and no surprises, such as sewing for 5 minutes before you realize you're out of bobbin thread. Easy to fill bobbin, and thread. Reverse in a different place then I'm use to, and also thread cutter, but getting use to it. Haven't used threader, remember I'm old school and am waiting till I really need it. The only thing that can be improved is the coverage of light, but that is with all machines. Hope I have this machine as long as I had my Touch and Sew. Could have bought more expensive machine, but I am comfortable with Singer, and also didn't want computer machine. Learning curve for this machine was almost non-exsistant.
Great machine, easy to use. Way better then the Tradition Line. Drop in bobbin is a game changer. Only wish they had more stitch options or the same as the Tradition line.
Totally disappointed in this product from an iconic brand. The bobbin is defective and that has halted my production capacity. I have requested a speedy response to my request for return and refund.
