I got tired of fighting with my old machine due to bobbin tension issues and wanted a machine with a stronger motor to sew through heavier fabrics and denim. This one does. Took a while to master the self-threader mechanism but watching YouTube videos for that and buttonhole attachment were extremely helpful.
I had a Classic and moved up to a Heavy Duty. I like It but I expected all parts to be of an upgraded quality. Plastic bobbins and the entire bobbin area are mediocre at best. I'm currently sewing facial masks; fleece robes and upholstery covered pillows, For the price, it's a good machine.
This machine can do the work! Lives up to its name! I love it! Now, my mom's 1973 sewing machine can be used as lightly as I want, because I know this Singer can handle everything I do! Thank you for fast shipping and delivery! I can continue helping others. Carolyn
It was my 47th Birthday and we are in a Pandemic and I had nothing to do and decided to Take up Sewing to sew masks for 1st Responders and my husband bought me this Sewing machine which was Amazingly easy to use and did a Great Job. I can honestly say I went from never sewing a day in my life to actually being really good at it now and I owe to the Singer 4452 Sewing Machine!!! Thank you! :-)
