I love this sewing machine. It is so easy to thread with the automatic threading feature. The presser foot doesn’t slid on my floor as I sew like the presser foot on my old machine did. The stitches are nice and even and easy to adjust. I learned to sew on a Singer sewing machine at my Grandmother’s side many years ago and I look forward to many new sewing projects with my new machine. I couldn’t be more pleased with the Heavy Duty 4452 sewing machine.
