I was soooooo disappointed. I finally ordered this machine and the whole bobbin mechanism did not work (would not engage to wind a bobbin). Singer agreed it was a mechanical issue and I had to send it back... BUT... they were apparently out of stock for this model (4452) so I just returned it. They did send me a 10% discount code on a new one at a later time but I thought this was pretty poor since I had to pack everything back up and carry the thing back to a Fed Ex store. At a minimum, they should have offered to exchange it for one of the color versions (which seem to be priced higher only for the flower decals and different color plastic - I know its a popular machine but NOT my problem that they were "out of stock"). I am a Singer girl from WAY back (this would be an upgrade for me, Mom and Grandma swore by them) and I was sad this whole thing did not work out. Now my sewing projects are on hold while I decide if I want to try again or not.
It took me a few days to set up this machine after I got it. I'm always wary of a new machine. In fact going through the setup tutorial, I must not have been paying a whole lot of attention because I left the sewing foot down while I was threading it and wondered why it wasn't raining right. I went back through the tutorial, put the sewing foot up and threaded it. I put in some material and started to sew and WoW! Super smooth, goes slow or fast, i love it!
I would recommend this to a friend!

We are excited to have you as part of the SINGER family! Thank you for sharing your kind words with us. It means the world to us and to our entire team. We look forward to serving you again soon!
The only issue I have with this machine, I ended up getting the one with the presser foot adjustment knob that sticks up on the left side. This was cranked all the way down and we spent too much time trying to figure out what the issue was and then went on YouTube. We figured it out but there was quite a bit of frustration for the group trying to use the machine. I had purchased a 6380 model prior to this one and wish I'd purchased the same machine instead of this one. The 6380 seemed to have less issues overall. This is a secondary machine for when friends are visiting so not my main machine.
