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

I hated sewing. Turns out, once I got this fantastic sewing machine, everything I dreaded became easy. This machine delivers. It sews through heavy fabric with ease. It is easy to thread, easy to wind bobbins, easy to change settings...all for about $200. Total game changer for me!

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.

After a lot of research I ordered the Singer HD 4452. So far it's been a great choice. Plows through several layers of heavy denim. Clean straight stitches. The auto needle threader makes it very easy to use. All metal frame is durable. Not a machine I expect to outgrow. Great looking machine!

Good sewing machine, but disappointing foot pedal control The first machine took forever to arrive, and unfortunately, it was defective. The bobbin winder wouldn’t spin at all. I could hear the motor running when I pressed the foot pedal, but nothing happened. I tried different bobbins, but the problem persisted. I received a replacement, and so far, it seems like a good sewing machine. It’s surprisingly quiet and runs smoothly. However, I’m disappointed with the foot pedal. Although the machine has a built-in speed control, the pedal doesn’t seem to allow me to adjust the speed by applying more or less pressure. I find this inconvenient, especially when working on projects that require precise speed adjustments. Overall, it seems like a good machine, but the initial quality control issue and the limited foot pedal functionality were disappointing.

I’ve had my machine for a while now and I’ve made quite a few projects with it. I am absolutely thrilled with how well it works. There are more than enough stitch functions for most sewists. This machine is mechanical instead of digital which means I can clean and maintain it on my own and not have to worry with electronics and circuits breaking down. Don’t be intimidated by the word “mechanical” if you’re new to sewing. Everything is as easy as turning a dial. Like most machines it works best if you remove the throat plate and clean and oil it after every project. It’s insanely simple and takes me about 5 minutes to do. You can find tutorials online, and other than the oil (which is cheap and lasts forever) this machine comes with all of the tools you need although I recommend buying a tiny screwdriver set if you sew a lot. I’ve even set the timing on this thing after a mishap with an aftermarket ruffled foot and was amazed at how simple it was to do. I also like that if you learn to listen to this machine it’s going to tell you waaay ahead of time if there’s a problem so you can take care of it before it jams. The only problem I’ve had with this machine is that if I use the upright spool pin the thread sometimes jumps and wraps around the pin and jams. I finally quit using that pin and either use a freestanding one I bought cheap or the horizontal pin that comes with the machine. I’ve been able to sew corsets with multiple layers of fabric and cording with no issues at all. It took me a few tries to get the buttonhole feature right (really make sure you have the lever all the way down, again, watch a few videos online) but buttonholes are now easy as pie. If you’re a more advanced sewer who loves all of the bells and whistles like push button thread cutters and super fancy features, this probably won’t be your fave unless you’re looking for a workhorse for more sturdy fabrics. But I assume that anyone that advanced is probably looking at machines that are 5 times more expensive and will require a pro to service once a year.

I bought my machine over 4 years ago and I absolutely love it. I sew and quilt constantly and this machine has never let me down. I noticed it said that it was a frequently returned item so I decided to review it and let people know I think it's an excellent machine. I've made hundreds of beautiful quilts etc , and besides tension sometimes (my issue), it works beautifully. I would buy this exact sewing machine again no question. It's a great price too.

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.

Love this machine. It's faster than my domestic brother and has great stitches. The quilt bar is a little hard to use but may just be operator error. It holds up great with high speed sewing and has made so many great products. Below is a picture made with this machine and it turned out great!

It’s a fantastic investment for anyone looking to elevate their sewing experience. Highly recommended!

Wat een prachtige en mooie machine

If buying this for use in the UK you will need a 240v to 110v transformer as it is a 110v model but it still worth every penny

Ottima macchina da cucire. Facile da usare anche per me che sono principiante. Ci sono tantissimi punti ed è molto accessoriata. L'unico punto da migliorare, mandare le istruzioni più accurate per il piedino tagli cuci (facile da montare ma non ho capito il punto da usare). La macchina da cucire è molto solida e stabile ma anche trasportabile. Ottimo acquisto!
