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.

We are sorry that your new 4452 is having issues with the tension. Please reach out to our Customer Support Teams at 800-474-6437 for personalized care.
I learned to sew on my great-grandmother's treadle Singer. I purchased this Singer to replace my 1970s metal Kenmore that I regret having given away. I was looking for a basic machine and this is basic, but it very light weight metal and flimsy and it did not stitch smoothly (not talking about tension) -- it was kind of jerky when producing the stitches. Don't know if a more expensive machine will give me what I'm looking for, but I will not buy online again -- there is nothing like trying a machine out in person before purchasing. Singer was wonderful about allowing me to return my machine and gave me a quick refund.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought this for Christmas for myself. I haven't been on it much as I was having trouble figuring out how to thread the darn thing and got frustrated and haven't been back on it. From the time I was in 3rd grade (73 now), all I ever owned was a Singer. About 5 years ago and friend gave me a White machine and it threads like this singer and I hated it. So I plan on getting back to it this coming week and try and figure it out.
This machine, though it has lots of bells and whistles isn’t necessarily user friendly. I broke 6 needles just trying to see how the fabric moved while sewing. It turns out that you just hold the material and the machine moves it forward under the presser foot but that isn’t written anywhere. Also the manual is 100 pages. Really?! The price of the machine was great but I’m not a fan just yet. Maybe with time and a lot of practice.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
