Horrible machine overall. Arrived damaged and has already broken 4 needles in less than 10 hours of use. Considering the price tag and the overall reputation of singer, I expect better. Have since filed for a refund.
I bought this machine to replace my old trusty singer to use as a backup. Well, it now takes its spot as my primary machine! It's so easy to use! And that reverse stitch? Amazing. I don't even have to stop sewing to use it. I love when I step on the pedal that there is no delay unlike some other computerized machines! It can get so frustrating when my other machine dictates how fast i can go. Free the pedal! This machine takes off from 0-60 in 1.2 seconds! Simple, no nonsense machine, with just enough features to not overwhelm you with all the high falootin-ness. Get this machine and git er dun!
This machine is wonderful. It's quite powerful and can plow through many layers of fabric. The only complaint I have is that the machine is quite loud.
I've been using this machine to make masks, which has been a great opportunity to learn basic sewing. This model is sturdy and has been able to withstand my clumsiness (which is why I chose the heavy duty model -- I tend to break things easily). It's also user-friendly and intuitive. I love this machine!
I'm a rookie sewing-guy. Got this model 4452 after having used my wife's other brand. I love it. It's especially adept at multiple fabric layers. My mom would have been proud!
I've only had the privilege of using this machine for a couple of weeks to make about 100 masks for covid-19. So far it has been a pleasant experience for me.
