I purchased a 4452 Sewing machine and received it on April15th. Started making a mask noticed the machine is not sticking properly. After waiting 1 hour and 15 minutes on hold your tech support told me to send it back. No replacement. You would not even offer an exchange. In addition I still am awaiting a return label. Very disappointing.
Great machine so far. It handles easily and it's very sturdy. I've been sewing masks nonstop without any issues. However, I've noticed it doesn't do great stitching light fabrics with a tight seam allowance. That's okay, because it handles multiple layers without a problem.
I purchased this machine when my lady singer not the dust. I chose this machine because I am seeing face masks for our community and my family and friends. This is the greatest machine ever and has allowed me to fell like I am Contributing in a positive way. Way to go Singer. Great machine and easy to operate. Love it!!!! *****
I broke my previous machine sewing these face masks.( another brand) this sews through heavy duty con ton material plus medium weight fusible interfacing, gathered into pleats like a knife through warm butter.
I have a Singer 401a sewing machine that I purchased new in 1957, it still works, but has slowed down a lot lately, so I purchased this new Singer, AND I LOVE IT. I hope it lasts as long, although I don't think I will last that long. I have been sewing masks for my neighbors with the 401a, and it just could not do the job, but this new machine easily goes over the pleats and no skipping or stopping and starting. I am very happy with this new machine.
