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

This is her 3rd 4452 in maybe a 20-year period. She does theatre costumes and clothes and fantasy costumes. Sometimes she or our son over-load the machine with leather, carpet, burlap, or mop yarn (substitute for animal fur or mane). She uses only two stitches of the many available. This basic HD machine, with no computer to foul up, just crunches along.
I would recommend this to a friend!

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 purchased this machine to replace a 40-year-old Singer 935 which I dearly loved. The 4452 so far is living up to its predecessor. My only recommendation to Singer would be to put on a six inch longer cord going to the foot pedal. My "sewing room" is my kitchen counter and the cord just barely reaches the floor which causes the foot pedal to float and wiggle around on the floor unless my foot is actually on it.

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.

Lube your new machine - the factory didn't!

Machine seemed somewhat noisy when received. Action was smooth' however. After using the machine a few days my wife said it sounded like it needed lubrication. Upon inspection I found that the gear set that drives the bobbin shuttle had a small glob of grease on the side of one gear' with about 10% of the meshing surface having any grease. The cam that drops the feed dogs had a small spot of grease on the wrong side of the arm with no lobe on the bearing surface. The felt lube wicks were pristine and dry. They never saw a drop of oil. After living the machine it mow runs significantly quieter.

I am enjoying sewing with my new 4452 Singer.Sewing is very easy for me now. As long as you have the correct needle for the fabric, sewing is a breeze.Threading the machine is simple as well as threading the bobbin.Love the high speed, sew without missing a stitch. Great feature is the needle threader. I am also enjoying trying all the different stitches. This machine is worth it for me.

Great machine for someone just starting out. Not too expensive, but not too lightweight...seems to be made well. The automatic threader is a little difficult to use...you have to have the needle in the exact position for it to work & it is sometimes hard to tell if you have it raised all the way.

L.O.V.E It!!! sadly had to replace my old workhorse, the 4552 SW...the new one, sews smoother, and still powerful...the new features did not hurt either..;-). glad I waited until they were back in stock and purchased the 4452..hope this one lasts even longer than the old one.
