SINGER is a well-known brand in the sewing world. The company is responsible for creating some of the most reliable and durable machines, and the 4452 is no different.
This model is particularly built as a heavy-duty machine that can withstand the wrath of stitching different kinds of fabrics, from silk to tough denim and leather.
It has a heavy-duty frame that holds every component together. This provides the required support that keeps the machine’s mechanisms in perfect alignment for skip-free sewing.
This SINGER 4452 Heavy Duty Sewing Machine review looks at this machine’s main features supported by the machine’s strong frame.
Features of the SINGER 4452 Heavy Duty Sewing Machine
Strong motor
If you have a strong frame, include a strong motor in the machine to match the two. SINGER did exactly this and gave the 4452 a 60% motor than those found in standard sewing machines.
This strength gives the machine the ability to punch through thick or tough fabrics with ease, making it truly a heavy-duty product.
The motor also gives the machine faster sewing speeds, which can reach up to 1100 stitches per minute and, in the process, ensure that you complete your projects quickly and on time.
Versatile presser foot
Since the machine is designed to work on different projects, it is built with a versatile presser foot. For instance, this foot’s pressure can be increased or decreased as you work on light or heavy fabrics.
This adjustment will help you provide the right amount of grip on the fabric by the feed dogs to pull it in when stitching.
The foot can also be lifted to an extra high position to accommodate thick fabrics underneath. In contrast, its presser feet can be easily removed or snapped into position as you stitch using different techniques.
Easy to load bobbins
For starters, the bobbins are very easy to thread. Once filled with thread, the machine has a top drop-in bobbin loading mechanism, making it very easy to set up the lower thread before first use.
The package includes class 15J transparent bobbins, which, combined with the transparent bobbin cover, make it very easy to monitor the thread supply as you stitch.
Using this mechanism ensures that you do not run out of thread in the middle of a project because you will always know when it’s time to refill.
PROS
- 60% stronger motor.
- Heavy-duty frame construction.
- Top drop-in bobbin with a transparent case.
- Adjustable presser foot pressure.
- Fast switching speeds.
CONS
- It might jam after the continued stitching of tough or thick fabrics.
Final Verdict
This machine is a good option to consider if you are thinking about upgrading to a more heavy-duty unit while on a budget.
It is not very expensive, but you only get an electric machine with its price, which means you get simplicity, including a few stitch patterns (32).
However, simplicity also means that the machine is easy to use, making it practical to use by beginners.
