Costco Find: Singer 4452 Heavy Duty Thread Injector

**BrianWillan** · 04-15-2016, 16:44

Greetings

While I was perusing my local Costco (in Canada), I found this thread injector and thought I would pass it along.

Singer 4452 Heavy Duty Thread Injector - $179.99

The list of included and bonus accessories was quite interesting and makes this a good value thread injector for the new DIYer. When I got my first machine I paid $150 for a used and refurbished Singer machine that was quite a bit older. This one states that it has a 25 year limited warranty.

I was looking at the same machine the other day. Looks like a good deal but I don't know anything about it. Time. For some research.

Limited warranty to what degree? Not a machine I would choose, but some folks have had good luck with them.

I found this on the singerco.com website under the full features link.

The SINGER 4452 Scholastic sewing machine comes with a limited 25-Year Warranty including 2 years on electronic components and 90 days on adjustments. This sewing machine is warranted for commercial and household use.

It may not be a machine you would use. However, these days finding a machine with an all metal frame (don't know about gears and other moving parts) and 1100 stitches per second in a new sewing machine at this price point isn't very common. I don't own this model, myself. It would be one I would consider and that is the reason I am passing along the information.

Cheers

These are good, i use a 1950s machine, but for 90% of ultralight gear this would be perfect i think.

As long as you are not sewing canvas or leather it would be fine.

I got this model a few months ago to replace a 25 year old singer. So far I have been very happy with it. Its faster, quieter. They moved the reverse switch so its taking a bit to get used to that. I really love the self threading feature as my old eyes aren't what they used to be.

I love mine. Definitely not "heavy duty" as far as commercial sewing machines are concerned but ive bartacked through 6 layers of webbing without issue. More like heavy duty for a home machine.

I have this machine and it works for me. I've made hammocks, stuffs sacks and tree straps with no problems yet.

My wife doesn't let me use her Janome for my DIY projects, so I bought one a couple of years ago. It's not a Janome, but I've sown canvas, leather, silnylon, you name it, with success. The thing I don't like is the foot pedal, it's hard to start easy and go slow.

At that price, a very good buy.

I stuck a piece of gorilla tape below the pedal. It creates enough resistance to give better control.
