I have been sewing for many, many years and already have two machines, not counting the 2 antique machines I inherited. I purchased this Singer because my dressmaking machine couldn't handle heavy or bulky fabrics. I wasn't expecting much, but it is perfect and has become my most used machine. The stitch quality is beautiful, and it handles all types of fabric. The straighforward design and features are a plus in my mind. I can make a lot of complicated things with this simple machine.
My needle position does not work. It is in left position. Dial will not move needle. I can move it by hand but will not hold.

This was my second heavy duty sewing machine I bought. The first one was many years ago and it was getting weak and making lots of noise. I am sewing very much for gifts and patchwork. I know I got my miles out of that machine. Happy to have a new one. I'm from Germany and bought my first Singer machine over 50 years ago; great products, was not as happy with other brand machines.

I purchased this recently. It is my third Singer 4452, but this one is different! I cannot remove the bobbin case without removing six different screws that are so small that I have to use a magnetic screw driver, a long handled screw driver, and “my husband” to do so! Not being able to simply remove the bobbin case so that lint can be cleaned from underneath is a pain in the neck and is very very difficult because the machine screws are so short. What a bummer, SINGER! I won’t buy another 4452 and I therefore do NOT recommend this product any longer!

Biggest piece of crap. Has never worked right since purchase. Im going to have to pay to look at something I have never been able to use. Opened my old black singer to use instead. Unfortunately the cord is missing since my move. Hope I can find one
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

we are a nonprofit- The Makers Hub. And we have a Tool lending library in the city of compton and a small Makerspace. These heavy duty singers are wonderful, easy for students to learn on , rarely bind up, and we just love them. They Are our favorites. I wish we could get some more, So we can replace some of our Other types of machines that were donated.
