Almost everyone knows someone who sews. Sewing is one of the oldest forms of making, and though the technology has changed drastically, the concept has not. Around the world today, sewing is used to create clothing, upholstery, toys, and far more.

The Singer Heavy Duty 4452 sewing machine is an industrial sewing machine that sews medium to medium-heavy weight materials such as cloth, vinyl, canvas, and leather. It is used for upholstery and leatherwork, among other industrial tasks. It can also stitch intricate details into items such as briefcases. We used the Singer Heavy Duty machine to create the upholstery for our couches, which can be found on Our Projects blog page. Makers have also made curtains and bags using the Singer Heavy Duty machine.
