SINGER Heavy Duty 4452 High Speed Sewing Machine With Accessory Kit | Strong Motor with Enhanced Piercing Power, 110 Stitch Applications, Full Metal frame, 1-step Buttonhole & LED Lights

Wow! Impressed. I grew up with sewing machines, my Dad had a commercial and residential sewing machine company for over 40 yrs. I am a Pfaff Snob but my newest machine dates to 1968 and I don’t sew like I used to. This Singer is Quality, Power and is a BARGAIN. I’m Very pleased!

I LOVE this machine and so glad I bought it. It's solid metal, goes over thick seams well. Feels so much better than the plastic models. I'm having fun getting back into sewing!!

Esta de muy buena calidad y si cumple con lo prometido

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Quality sewing machine needed for leather belt making

First of all, the price is more here than in Walmart, like 50$ difference. So, please check the nearest walmart before ordering, I was stupid enough to not check before.The machine itself is somewhat sturdy, runs a bit faster so you need some experience of prior sewing to work with this. Putting the thread to the needle is kinda tricky, so will suggest to check youtube tutorial to get a better idea. I didn’t do much sewing yet just did some repairing and it was good! Also ran through some thick cloth just to check and didn’t have any issue but not sure if it's gonna work with Denims.

I have been sewing my entire life. Never have I used such a poorly designed machine. Whoever designed this thing must not have known how to sew. A few of the bad features:1. The walking foot doesn't have a place to attach a quilting guide. Since the walking foot is primarily where this type of guide is used, I don't know what they were thinking. I've had to use a walking foot from another brand of sewing machine in order to use a guide. I also used the guide from the other machine, since the one Singer provides is awkward and stupid. And it should be TWO guides; which one you use depends on what direction you are quilting in.2. You have to unscrew the needle plate to get underneath it and clean out lint. And even then, it's practically impossible to get at all of it. In other machines, I can just pop off that plate and clean as often as I need to. And it's a lot easier to clean once the plate is removed.3. It's EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to put on and take off the presser foot "ankle" or the walking foot. The machine won't let me get my hand in there to direct the screw to where it needs to go. I have very small hands, but even my small hands can't fit in there to work the screw. I have been sitting here cussing out this machine for this for the last hour, and I STILL haven't been able to get the walking foot back on (after the hassle of unscrewing the needle plate to clean). If I could just barely get the screw in its spot and get it started, then I could get in there with my screwdriver and finish the job. But the walking foot slides up and down the shaft and won't stay still long enough to get the screw into the hole - even if I COULD fit my little hand in there to do it.4. This is not a true heavy duty machine. The presser foot cannot be raised more than the standard amount, so I can't fit several layers of fabric under it. I make purses and bags, and deal with LOTS of layers. This machine did not give me ANY advantage in dealing with all those layers.5. It can sew very fast, but it's very noisy. And the stitching motion is jerky, not smooth. This machine is not fun to use at all.6. If you want it for zig-zag stitches, forget about it and find another machine. I tried using a very simple zig-zag stitch on some cotton/lycra knit fabric, and it just made a tangled mess. The only stitch this machine can handle is a straight stitch.7. It doesn't have the "needle down" feature. If I want to pivot - as I need to at the end of every row of straight quilting - I have to manually make sure the needle is down and then pivot. Total waste of time and motion.I wish I'd never bought this machine. Thank goodness I didn't pay much more than a couple of hundred bucks for it; that's still wasted money. As soon as I am able I will buy a much nicer machine that is TRULY HEAVY DUTY to replace it. I know I am comparing a low-cost Singer with other more expensive machines, but many of these poor design features would be very simple and low cost to fix. It's infuriating.

I ordered this singer sewing machine used and it looks brand new. It was not damaged. It does sew fast but I can control the speed with my foot on the foot pedal and it came with all the attachments too. I love this machine.

Amazing
