I would truly love this machine if the needle adjustment worked. I have to set my dial all the way to the left for the needle to be in the center. I have emailed Singer with no luck.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This is a wonderful machine. I can sew sheers and multiple layers of wool. I love how easily it works with all fabrics with the right needles. I is heavy enough that when I sew it doesnt move around. I really like the handle on top, makes it easier to move around. This is a top quality machine I recommend
After using a Singer Touch and Sew 758 for over 40 years I was a little disappointed in the 4452 machine. It runs loud and hard but I’ll keep sewing with it hopefully it will loosen up. What I don’t like is the bobbin having to take it out to fill, I was spoiled to my old machine. Overall, I haven’t had it long enough to say what it will or will not do. I do know that I can’t use all my singer attachments.
