I had purchased one for myself several months ago and my brother has been borrowing it to make masks so we got one for him. His granddaughters are excited to learn how to sew on it, as well. It has been very easy to work with and feels like it will last for years to come.
I got this machine (4452) to replace a much older sewing machine that was giving my wife problems for years. It was her birthday present and she used it that very day. She said that it was a great gift and that it worked so much better....being able to stitch through her double layer fabric (that was where she had trouble before). Also the self threader....she couldn't believe how much that helped.
My wife has been very pleased with her 4452. However, the lack of a manual with the purchase of an expensive machine is confusing and disappointing. Also appreciated would be how to videos about this new machine. Also confusing and disappointing.
I really like this sewing machine. I have been sewing since my teens and have ran through many brands of machines. This new Singer 4452 has already proven to be a winner. Thanks Singer for a great machine!
My machine had a threading issue after just a few days of using it and I had to return it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
