I am embarrassed to share that both my parents own sewing machines and are master seamstress (mom) and expert sewer (dad). However, neither of them ever taught me or my two sisters (now in our 40s) how to sew, not a stitch. I recently purchased the Singer 4452 directly from the company. Purchasing online from Singer was simple and at a good fair price compared to other venders. The machine is awesome. I live 3,000 miles from family these days. This machine has given me and may parents something else to talk about. In 7 minutes or less, mom had me up and running. Dad is impressed. Also, the Singer instructional videos on their website and YouTube are terrific. I'm running out of fabric to practice on. Luckily, my husband recently lost 50+ pounds and has plenty of shirts to discard. Instant practice fabric, yahoo. I'm enjoying this machine. I highly recommend to all.
I love the design and fluidity of how the machine looks. It has speed to get the job done. The power that it displays is a definite bonus. I have been making masks for my family. Next project masks for some of my Native American brother and sisters. Thus far there is nothing I don't like about the machine.
The machine works well. Since I am a beginner took a little time to set it up. Now things run smoothly and the app helped. I made a shirt for my dog as practice and it turned out well. Look forward to making other things.
Been sewing on industrial Singer machines all of my life, wanted a portable one that I could use in other areas of my home and this is the best portable sewing machine I have owned. Comparable to the heavy-duty power machines I have used all of my life.
Will only purchase Singer sewing machines from now on!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I grew up sewing on a Singer Sewing Machine that my mother used for over 50 years. I had borrowed some sewing machines from my daughter (a Kenmore and a Brother), I had a LOT of issues with both of those machines and then purchased a newer Brother machine and it broke down within 24 hours (the bobbin casing fell out and the needle is now stuck and I cannot move the wheel), I then purchased the Singer machine and have NOT had any problems with it. I am making masks and headbands with buttons for local nursing home staff and residents and needed a dependable machine that I can get this project completed. This Singer has worked extremely well for me and has allowed me to get a LOT of masks and headbands completed. I will never buy any other brand of machines again!
Very easy and quick set up. I haven't sewn for 30yrs so it was easy to pick right back up. I would recommend this product to anyone looking to enjoy a new hobby.
