I returned the machine because the buttonhole attachment would not work correctly. I am an experienced seamstress and know how to work the buttonhole option but it would continue to bog down at the starting point. Otherwise the machine was fine.

Our apologies that the buttonhole attachment did not work properly and thank you for letting us know of the issue. We hope you'll give us the opportunity to provide you outstanding service in the future.
I wear sewing machines out so this is early days but it is sturdy and makes a firm stitch. It attacks everything I have offered from fine fabrics to heavy ones. Think this is going to be a winner. Not too many buttons so I need to take classes but lots of choices of stitches. This machine may outlive me. Very pleased.
I love the speed of the machine. But it is louder/nosier then I expected. I have a machine that I have had for 30yrs and this one is louder/ nosier then that one bit it is way faster.
I bought this machine to replace a 40 year old Singer sewing machine. It had 2 stitch options, straight stitch and zig zag. This one will take a little time to learn for me. I thought in the beginning that the speed would bother me, but it doesn't.
The machine is relatively stronger than my old Singer, but not meeting the level of real heavy duty , I managed to complete my canvas canopy sewing - but was hard with many misses, I presume strong walking foot was needed in my case
Singer is the best sewing machine. 4 of my generations have used singer. 4452 is a great heavy duty machine, and I love it. Sincerely, Emily
I would recommend this to a friend!
