I bought this machine as a christmas gift to myself. I am very diappointed with the design. I find it very difficult to opperate. The numbers on the throat plate are too far to the rear and difficult to see. The voltage of the light seems to low to illumiate the work space. The all purpose foot is to wide, can't see the needle while sewing. I wish I had bought another model.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought the 4452 machine sometime in October 2024. I have always owned Singer and always been happy with it. I wanted a machine that would do light and heavy fabrics. I just needed a basic machine, this has more than I need but maybe I will get to using more of the features. I have been sewing for about 60 years, will take a little time getting use to the tensions, witdth & length of stitches, I did print the manual it would have been nice to be able to just print English.
