I'v been sewing for 50 years and this is the hardest machine I've ever had to thread. I had to watch this video over and over but once I got it done the stitching looks nice. I just bypassed the self threader and threaded it manually!!
I could have written this myself. I’ve been sewing for over 50 years and it is a challenge to thread this machine! Thank goodness we have this video which I had to watch several times, while also following the printed instruction sheet!
Here I am last minute trying to make Christmas presents remembering gratitude for patient people like yourself who put out tutorials like this one. Thank you!
Thank your for your guidance I'm a 65 year old man about to sew a new canvas for my boat and you worked me through this so elegantly. Never have sewn before. My 1st stitch came out perfectly. I think I love you lol. 😊
God bless you! I just had to replace my 30 yr old singer to make presents I need to be done tomorrow, and this was a life saver. It's not to much different, thankfully :) To those of you having trouble, just go slow, and you'll get it. Once you do this a few times, it will become second nature.
As an absolute sewing newbie, who has never had luck sewing and always had a bit of a fear of it, I don't think there is ANY way I could have threaded this machine without watching this video! Thank you! I can't wait to watch the rest of the videos!
Just got my singer heavy duty 4452 sewing machine. You are awesome at direction. I followed them to the T and I sewed my first stitch. Not so straight, but I’m just beginning to learn. Looking forward to learning how to sew better. Thank you 😊
Great video! As a visual learner, this was super helpful! I'd like to add: one thing that I as a newbie had trouble with is that every time I would finish a stitch and go to take the fabric out from the machine, it would be hard to take out. It looked almost as if the bobbin thread was all jammed up or something and when I pulled the fabric it just wouldn't budge unless I really pulled, and then I'd end up with a mess of more strings than just two coming off the fabric. It turned out that all I was doing was not making sure the needle was all the way up and the thing you put the thread in on "5" (sorry, I don't know what it's called) wasn't sticking all the way up. I though if I just raised the needle a little I should be able to pull it out, but that wasn't the case. This information may be useless to some people, and I am not an experienced seamstress by any means so take in mind I may have said something wrong here. If so, feel free to correct me! I just thought I'd share my experience in case it helps someone out there.
My mother's machine from the 60's died and Ive been without for a number of years. I just ordered this for my birthday Tuesday, today is Saturday and it will be delivered Wednesday. Once I get it threaded I should be ok. This model does what my mom's did with the built in stitches. However I will be getting a ruffler and seam binding feet right away. Thank you for the help.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. Its not too long and it's just the right info to get started. I have put off setting up my machine until now because all the other videos were entirely too long. 40-50 mins is too long and I found the info convoluted at that length. You simply know how to explain this with ease. I pick up on things quickly but if the artist is boring I give up thanks again for not being boring and telling us we need to know. You're the best!
Thank you for this great video! I just ordered a Singer 4452 that will be delivered next week. I really appreciate your excellent tips and such a well done, clear video. Great thread color choice for the demonstration, too--made everything super easy to see!
Holy Toledo! I just bought this sewing machine last week and was delivered recently. I’m so excited to use it but everything looks so intimidating. However, I thought of the same thing when I taught myself to crochet. I almost gave up on it but I didn’t. I kept going, this is a great video! I will keep watching this video and get it right. Everything on my machine looks intimidating but I can do it!
I have not had my machine that long and never had one with two different places for the thread spool. I thought I would have to have my machine fixed but you solved my problem within minutes! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for this video. Thanks to you i realize my issue was not with the thread I had purchased but rather my threading method. I love my 4452 and this prolonged my joy of it greatly.
Omg this video is the bomb . I just got my singer sewing machine and this video help me so much on how to self feed my machine. You were great at how to show each step . I have watched plenty of videos for different topics and they go so fast and you end up rewatch it and still get lost . Keep up the excellent job.
Excellent, though your experience may not be typical. For this machine (the recent Heavy Duty machines made in Vietnam), Singer recommends a Class 15 (clear) plastic bobbin.
The series of videos are excellent and well explained with very good visual close-ups of all the detailed threading. I am about to take delivery of a brand new machine and now feel confident about using it. Thank you very much for a clear and well delivered tutorial.
I thank you for teaching me how thread my machine. I was overwhelmed at first but clicking on your tutorial made a huge difference. You are an amazing teacher👏🏽👏🏽
I am loving all of your videos! You teach so well. My daughter gifted me my first sewing machine for my birthday last month and I have no clue how to use it. But I feel confident to try with your instructions. Thank you!
Thank you 🙏🏾 soooo much ma’am. I got this exact sewing machine during the pandemic and was having issues with threading, so I gave up. I spotted your video today and re threaded my machine and it’s working perfectly!!!! I really appreciate you for this informing video ❤️
Thank you! I received a Singer Heavy Duty 4452 for Christmas. Just the sound of the singer, amazing. I just want a tutorial about the dials, tension, width, length, .
Sewing machine? More of a power tools, it needs to run on gas guy. Dang, was I wrong, THIS. IS. AWESOME. My American flag would still look like a T-Rex mended it, now it's more of squirrel quality. Will get to mama racoon pretty soon. Couldn't've done it w/o this vid, feel kinda...empowered. Thanks. You've greatly helped out a single Neolithic male. Now-On To Buttons, Hooyah!
The extra guides for threading were unexpected, but what really got me was that I couldn’t get the needle thread to catch right so it would be wrapped around the bobbin and pick up the thread. Ended up taking it apart to see what the issue was. Turns out I was holding to much tension on the needle thread, so the little spinny bastard couldn’t catch the loop because there wasn’t enough of one. On the bright side, I learned more about the internals of the machine and that I’m an idiot.
Thanks a lot. I just wanted to let you know that I like the video. I was able to teach my mom. Quick question: The brochure says it could take 220v, Any one tried this buying in the USA and used in India? Please let me know. Thanks
Thanks for the fantastic videos on Heavy Duty 4452! I purchased some singer transparent class 15 bobbins but they seem to be slightly different than the 4 bobbins included with the 4452 machine. The ones coming with the machine had 2 holes and the height seems to be a bit less; the class 15 ones that I purchased have one slit instead of the 2 holes, and they seems to have slightly more space for the thread (distance between the upper and lower edges seems to be just a little more than the ones that came with the machine. Is this normal and can I use the class 15 bobbins I bought even though thhey seem to be a little different visually? Thanks for your help
Thank you for this video! My mom and I are going to start making our own dresses and this machine is looking perfect for what we need it for. Do you know if it's possible to do simple embroidery with this machine? Like, just letters? It's the only thing I'm not sure if it's capable of. I can't wait to get started!
my 4452 will not pull up the bobbin thread. It worked fine until after a jam/bunchin of underside thread. I rethreaded , looked in bobbin compartment to see if there was thread still in there, but there wasn't. How can I get my needle to pull up the bobbin thread?
I use your video to help thread my new machine. I am a beginner. I have the same machine as what you use in the video. My question is my stitch… it looks great on the top side but on the bottom side it looks as though the needle thread comes through and loops around the bottom making it look more like a straight line. Shouldn’t the stitch look the same on both sides? Thanks in advance for your help.
What would be a good quality thread to use with this machine? I understand it should be a crosswound roll, but what number specifically of thread would you recommend?
I just opened my machine exactly the same , set it all up, and sewed a few lines on folded cotton fabric. I have the adjustments set as described. I am a experienced, but not advanced sewer. Both sides of the fabric stitches are supposed to look the same, but the bottom side does not look exactly like the top. I would say the stitches are not as defined and look just more like a singular line. I tried playing around a little bit with the tension and length, but it didn’t really make a big difference in this regard. What is up?
I am replying to myself as I figured out the problem. Although the tension dial was set at the factory in the middle, it needed to read 4 1/2 in order to get the stitches the same on the top and bottom of the fabric(a normal quilting weight fabric folded in half). So if you have this problem, try turning your tension dial up a bit higher.
Great series of videos! How heavy a thread will this machine handle? Would it be possible to use industrial sized spools? I want to sew heavy materials such as Cordura.
So after you make the stitch and cut the thread you don’t need to tie it off? It’s my first time using a sewing machine and I’ve only ever sewn by hand
I almost got furious and threw the machine, but now I've done it. I had to use my eye to get it through the needle eye because the easy method wouldn't take.
What would be the issue and resolution for the stitch pattern default. Example: Zigzag stitch selected but stitches are straight or zig zag pattern is on one side?
I cried like 5 times throughout this video but I made it through to my first stitch!! Thank you for helping this newbie out!! 💗
Oh my God. I just got the machine😱 And watching this video it seems so hard to use and I am about to cry 😢😭. It seems so hard 😢😢😢

Which brand thread is best for this machine?
What would be a good quality thread to use with this machine? I understand it should be a crosswound roll, but what number specifically of thread would you recommend?
What type of thread do we get for this particular machine?
What is the cause for the thread breaking while sewing
May I ask what thread you are using for this tutorial?
I just opened my machine exactly the same , set it all up, and sewed a few lines on folded cotton fabric. I have the adjustments set as described. I am a experienced, but not advanced sewer. Both sides of the fabric stitches are supposed to look the same, but the bottom side does not look exactly like the top.

Wich is the differenc betwen this heavy duty 4452 and other heavy duty models ?!
So after you make the stitch and cut the thread you don’t need to tie it off? It’s my first time using a sewing machine and I’ve only ever sewn by hand
The usual procedure with machine sewing is to back stitch. That locks the stitch. I'm surprised she did not demonstrate that.
I almost got furious and threw the machine, but now I've done it. I had to use my eye to get it through the needle eye because the easy method wouldn't take.
What is the largest size thread the machine and bobbin can handle? Also what is the largest size stitch?
What would be the issue and resolution for the stitch pattern default. Example: Zigzag stitch selected but stitches are straight or zig zag pattern is on one side?
The machine is skipping stitches. Try a new needle and maybe a different spool of thread.
9:07 this is incredibly frustrating I don’t understand
What brand of thread are you using? It would make life so much easier if you would let us know. Thank you.
Please and thank you. 🥰
