I have only had good experiences with Singer. Bought one of these machines to surprise a friend and then I wanted it too. It replaces the similar model bought 21 years ago! I felt guilty because it still works but after using this one, well it is truly a work horse! Was surprised by the speed, I have a quilting machine that this rivals! And buying direct was the only way I could get one during these difficult times. Will keep making masks on this machine, will also only buy direct from now on!
I wanted a machine without a bunch of digital features that would inevitably break and I'd be unable to repair. I've used my roommate's brother for several years. It has a million different stitches and fancy features, but when it broke recently (and she can't fix it), I decided it was time to get my own. I wanted a reliable, sturdy machine that I could fix when needed. This thing looks like it's out of the 1960s, but it's perfect. Runs great! I haven't sewn any thicker fabrics yet, but am looking forward to doing so without any issues.
I was making so many face masks that I wore out my old singer. I felt so sad about not being able to take my machine anywhere to be repaired during "covid19 stay at home". It was also very hard to order a new machine, as everywhere they were sold out, so I was very glad for this singer site, after first falling for a scam site. I love the way my new singer sews and sings. I love that it is basic, heavy duty and easy to use, nothing computerized, it's perfect for me. I would recommend this machine to anyone.
The shipping was fast!! The machine is beautiful. I had an older Kenmore machine but it had a few problems and I just decided to change up. Great decision!
I don't have any experience with sewing machine, so getting everything set up was a bit involved because I was starting from zero. It would be nice if Singer did longer tutorials for when you first receive your machine, but regardless. The machine is powerful, sews beautifully and works fabulously on my denim which is what I mostly need the machine for. I can't wait to sew all kinds of things with it. I recommend this and I am so glad I waited for it to come back in stock instead of settling for the 4411 which was in stock. The 4452 has the automatic needle threading, accessories and more stitch options so it is worth iT
I'm using the machine for sewing masks. Feels like my Aunt's Touch Tronic 2005 which I can't get it in for repair of bobbin winder due to Covid 19. Easy to use for my simple sewing and winding bobbins are a breeze!
