SINGER® 4452 (Grey) High Speed Heavy Duty Sewing Machine with Accessories

Fantastic!! Truly Heavy Duty for a great price! I work with 1000D Fabrics, Molle Webbing, Velcro, and Eva Foam as Fabric Materials. This machine handles 4 Layers of Molle Webbing + 2 Layers of 1000D fabric with ease! Granted, I did already bend the stock needle that it came out-of-the-box with, but the included 100/16 Needle has proven more durable! I was debating between this or the 4411, but the 4452 has more accessories that's more affordable to purchase together with more stitch options. Although, I don't really plan to use a lot of different stitch options since I was also debating on an industrial machine that only has 1 stich option. I truly believe this is a "Heavy Duty" Sewing Machine, and the people who say 'don't buy into "Heavy Duty"' may just lack a bit more experience with different machines. I had a Viking Emerald 116, that the salesman said was good enough to be heavy duty but was not labeled "Heavy Duty," and although I used it for 3 years, it struggled with every project. My Viking finally broke, but I wish it broke sooner or just bought the SINGER Heavy Duty 4452 Machine at the beginning!

Really good all purpose machine. Perfect for denim and heavy fabrics. And the price is right.

I love this machine. Its easy to use, and it comes with a bunch of accessories. Do yourself a favor, however, and get an overlocking foot. It'll save you some frustration and about $260 in the shape of a serger if you dont want to deal with that. I have seen some discord about the needle position dial having stopped working; THIS IS USER ERROR 99% of the time. It took me less than a minute of research to find out what went wrong. Reset your tension (4), stitch length (2.5), width (0) and type (straight). The needle should move back to center (if thats where the dial is). Make sure you're changing your needle, using the right needle, and sweeping the lint regularly. This thing has trucked through zippers, heavy fabrics and multiple layers like a champ, but you HAVE to take care of it. Stop blaming the machine for your lack of research. I'm a fairly novice sewist, and this machine has done its job perfectly because I've done my due diligence.

This singer machine is fabulous to me. Has self threading... front loading bobing.. details how to thread the sewing string . I found it easy to use.. love the Grey color. So far no issues still getting to know her. Great for beginners.. love it

I bought this sewing machine in 2022. I would have given it 5 stars but wasn’t as heavy duty as I had hoped. I do a lot of home decor so my fabric is thicker. I thought this was such a great machine. It seemed to handle the job till it didn’t. Went to get it fixed and they quoted a price of $300. Googled the problem and thought I fixed but still the problem but is not a %100 so sadly will have to replace. I really do like this machine especially the price point and how it handled bulky fabric. I dont believe I will be purchasing another singer 4452. Need something that will last longer than 4 years.

This machine is an absolute workhorse! It glides through multiple layers of thick denim and leather without skipping a beat, while the high-speed motor saves so much time on large projects. It is incredibly durable, easy to set up, and handles heavy-duty sewing like a breeze. Highly recommended for anyone needing power and reliability!

After owning this machine for 15 months with very light use, maybe 10-12 hours, it stopped working properly. I used Singer needles, Singer thread, tension was set properly, but the machine's hook fails to consistently pick up the top thread resulting in skipped stitches or a birds nest. Here's what I found: The Singer Warranty is not really 25 years, it's 90 days. 25 years is for the metal frame under the plastic cover. You know, the only part that will never break. All the mechanical parts are only 90 days. The electric motor, LED light & plastic foot pedal get 2 years. It will be the mechanical parts that break, strip, wear out too fast, or get out of time. That's the bulk of the machine. The labor cost to repair this machine just once makes buying a higher-end machine a much better value. Buy once, cry once. Singer's website and Customer Care continued to state there was a repair facility that no longer existed. They dumped Singer. They even removed Singer from their name, and sell competitor's machines. In California, you now have only TWO authorized repair facilities; Downey & San Mateo. All the rest are gone. Not a good sign when dealers are dumping your company, web sites are out of date, and Customer Care....doesn't. I bought Singer based on their reputation and my belief they stood behind their products. Well, Sears, Montgomery Ward, and a bunch of other companies were once well respected and once took care of Customers, too. Times change. This is a solid machine with a lot of features. It seems to be the best in it's price range. Some will say it's too much for a beginner, but with the minimal price difference and the added features, I wouldn't hesitate. Yes, there will be a learning curve. You can keep it simple at first and easily grow into this machine. The included walking foot option was worth the price difference to me over the next lower model. I don't find the threading assist that useful, as I can thread the needle faster, but you may and it does work. My only "wish" is if it could easily hold the larger, commercial type thread spools instead of buying a separate holder with post and guide. I like the Embroidex adjustable if you go that route. If it matters to you, the machine is easily powerful enough to sew webbing with a size 18 needle and #92 polyester thread, and the zig zag stitches are perfect. Jeans? No sweat. If only my skills were as good as this machine, I could make my brothers prom dress....

I have no idea what is with all the negative reviews. I think sometimes it's harder to tune a machine than it is to just return one and never learn how to work it. For me, this machine was bought for two reasons - Vinyl upholstery and clothing repair. I don't quilt, so maybe that's the big hiccup, though I can't imagine how it'd be a problem there too. For my vinyl, it's up to 5 layers thick and this machine sews through them without any problems. I did have some birdnesting up front, but dialed in the tension over the course of about 30 minutes. It's much more particular on tension than my old machine. But once that was set for the thread I was using and the stiff needle, it just powered through the job like a redneck roofing a house. This was with a zigzag stitch. After two days of vinyl work, I swapped to repairing some shirts with a straight stitch and another zigzag. Again, no problems once I got the tension figured out for the thread and needle I swapped to. And man does it sew fast! I didn't like the needle threader at first, having never used one, but after a couple of tries I love it. Wouldn't own a machine without it now. When I get old and can't see anymore, this will make it simple to rethread. I also like the thread cutter quite a bit. It comes out to the right length every time to move on to the next seam. One thing I'd like is for them to start using LED targeted lights on these machines. A white light instead of the dull gold bulb, and adjustable too...Sort of like a flashlight you can swap to broad beam and tight beam depending on usage. Other than that, I'm happy and work is getting done. I can't believe this thing isn't five hundred dollars.

Me encantó, funciona al 100. Hasta ahora son problemas.

Tutto secondo descrizione, consiglio l'acquisto ottima macchina.

A very nice running machine. The bigger motor makes slow running much more controllable. I notice how much more controllable the foot pedal is from slow to fast compared to my other machines. Of course this is at least 20 years newer than my others. The work light is well placed. The needle threader works very well unlike others I have tried. It’s a good kit with several useful accessories, such as the walking foot. This machine will definitely reduce my frustration level.

It's very hard to use

Wat een prachtige en mooie machine
