I've only had this machine for a few months, but I absolutely love it! It really can handle anything ~ I made a heavy-duty totebag and the machine had no trouble with even the thickest parts. It's easy to use, runs well, and I've had no thread tension issues (my great-grandma's old Singer, the machine I grew up using, *always* has problems with thread tension). My one complaint is that it sounds a bit like a plane getting ready to take off!
I really like the 4452 for it's stitching. It works well for me because I sew heavy material like denim and fleece which it seems to handle well. Only dislike is the bobbin winder. I had one break so I use another machine to wind my bobbins.
I was disappointed in my machine. My expectations were that it would sew heavier fabrics, and more than one layer. It bunches up the thread when it changes thicknesses. Not what was advertised. I do however like the way it sews regular fabric.
Wanted something basic to make furniture covers, blue jeans, etc. this machine is perfect balance between function and features. High speed is a big advantage. I recommend this machine to anyone who needs a basic all around machine capable of handling heavy fabrics.
I purchased this machine to make pocketbooks and other heavy material items. First off after a few uses the machine began to act up and breaking needles - Well I soon discovered that the plate was bent down and the needle was hitting the plate and breaking. I got my handy dandy little hammer out and tapped the plate back into the original position. The same thing happened again several times after sewing heavy canvas material. Now that I have only been sewing thinner materials - the thread breaks and gets hung up around the inside of the machine somehow. This is the third Singer I have bought in the last several years but I assure you it will be the last. Both of the other machines have issues as well.
