A great machine. I have a few industrial machines like the latedt Siruba direct drive with speed selector. Kingstar 4 thread overlock direct drive industrial. But I use my Singer 4452 most of the time. So versatile. A lot of my garments are on lightweight fabrics and I need very precise stitches. Even alterations to denim - work fine on the 4452. Doing repairs also.
My 4452 is arriving tomorrow via Amazon. Yea - I'm a guy who's been using sewing machines since childhood. I was taught on a vintage Singer when I was about 11-years old. My wife and I consider a sewing machine a household necessity. I just recently had to trash a Walmart Brother machine (Spoiler alert: total junk!) So looking forward to using this home appliance for all our alterations, and crafts! Thank you for this introduction!
I am soooo happy that you made this video, I just got my Singer model 4452, after my other Singer ( I also believe from the 90s was giving me terrible problems breaking down every time I sewed and I feared starting a project) and I couldn't get the manual online to download, I even had a hard time finding the manual. Fortunately for me, I found your video which was the EXACT video I needed to start my machine! I have sewn all my life, 50 years, however each machine has its own personality, and you help me over the hump, hooray!
Glad for the link to the manual. I just got my machine yesterday and it was missing the manual. These videos are very helpful and I want to watch everything on the 4452 before I even use it. I know proper use and care is key to a long life. I inherited my mother's Singer Rocketeer 500A that she got in 1961 which I'm having serviced now. She never had a bit of trouble with it. I was just going to use it but I thought it would be a good idea to have a new model. Guess because it is a family heirloom, I'm nervous about messing it up because she was so particular about her machine, 😀
Singer has decided to "save the trees" and won't include manuals when you buy a new machine, so you have to find it online and print it yourself now 🫤🫤
Thanks for doing this machine review! This machine is a gift to me to replace my Singer 9022 from the '90's. They seem similar and i can't wait to get it sewing!
That was an informative video and I have to remember those settings since I will be working with a variety of materials and don't want errors on the material.
How is the singer heavy duty 4452 sewing machine , is it durable, easy to use & better for some projects where so many decorative stitch ? Please help me to know about
I absolutely love your videos !!! I just purchased this sewing machine and I’m loving following your steps. I’m just wondering what is the purpose of the “nob” that is directly behind the step #4 hook. There’s. Little plus and negative sign on it ?
Hey there - thanks for this awesome series! May I please ask what the knob near the power plug does? Is that a speed adjust? I ask because my spouse and I would like to slow down the machine while we use the walking foot. Thanks for your help!
Hello, I hope you can help. I have this machine and think i need to replace the automatic needle threader. Is there any possible way to replace the threader on this machine ? I appreciate your help with this. 👍
Help!!!! So I am sewing appliqué using lite heat n bond. My thread keeps breaking & like getting gunked up, I clean it and re thread, what else can I do? The project I’m working looks crappy now having to go thru and un thread the mess
Can this machine handle leather or multiple layers of fabrics for upholstery work? I see some people don’t like it compared to there industrial machine
After waiting on hold for over an hour to speak with a representative I have zero confidence in Singer integrity. Sad to say Singer is not a customer service company (any more )..
