Comparing the Singer 4452 vs 4423
Differences
The Singer 4452 and Singer 4423 are very similar heavy duty sewing machines. There are only three main differences between these machines:
- The Singer 4452 has more built-in stitches
- The Singer 4452 comes with more presser feet
- The Singer 4452 has a bonus clearance plate
There are a couple other minor differences such as the color of the machine and the number of bobbins and needles included, but these are all minor differences.
The Singer 4452 has more built-in stitches
The Singer 4452 has more built-in stitches than the Singer 4423. The Singer 4452 comes with 32 built in stitches, while the Singer 4423 has 23. At first glance, this seems like an easy choice – choose the 4452 with more stitches. Looking at the stitch differences though, you can see that the 4452 and the 4423 have the same basic and S1 (or stretch) stitches available. The difference here is that the 4452 has the S2 stitches, which are stretch stitches and decorative stitches. So unless there’s an S2 stitch that you need, both machines are about the same in regards to built-in stitches.

The Singer 4452 comes with more presser feet
Another big difference between the Singer 4452 and 4423 Singer sewing machine is the number of sewing feet that they come with. Both sewing machines come with an all purpose foot, zipper foot, buttonhole foot and button sewing foot. The 4452 heavy duty sewing machine comes with two additional sewing feet; the walking / even feed foot and the non-stick foot.
The even feed / walking foot is great for sewing several layers of fabric together. This is the perfect presser foot to use when you are quilting. It is great for keeping multiple layers together as you sew, it helps prevent them from shifting out of alignment. You can purchase an even feed foot separately for the Singer 4423 here.
The non-stick foot is great for sewing materials like vinyl and leather. The non-stick foot slides across the top of these materials instead of sticking and catching like other presser feet can. Again, you can purchase the non-stick foot separately for the Singer 4423 here.
While the Singer 4452 comes with more presser feet than the 4423 sewing machine, you can easily purchase these feet separately for the Singer 4423 sewing machine.
The Singer 4452 has a bonus clearance plate
Another difference between the 4452 sewing machine and the 4423 sewing machine is that the 4452 comes with a clearance plate. This is a piece of plastic that you can use to help lift the presser foot some when you are sewing thick seams, for instance when you are hemming jeans. This tool is also used when you sew buttons on. You place it between the button and the fabric to add space. This lets the sewing machine sew the button on and leave a gap between the button and the material for a button shank. Since this is a generic tool, you can easily use a non-Singer version of it to do the same tasks. You can purchase a clearance plate here.

Singer 4452 vs 4423 – which one should I buy?
So, now we see all the differences between the Singer 4452 and Singer 4423 heavy duty sewing machines. There are three major differences between these machines: the number of built-in stitches, the number of included walking feet, and the bonus clearance plate. You can purchase both additional walking feet and the clearance plate separately. If you need the presser feet, I would recommend pricing both machines with the cost of the additional feet added to the 4423.
So the only real difference in features between the Singer 4452 vs 4423 heavy duty is the number of stitches. Since stitches cannot be added to a sewing machine, this remains the only feature difference between the two machines. Again, these are the stitches that each machine comes with:
When choosing between the two heavy duty sewing machines, you should determine if you need the extra stitches that the 4452 sewing machine provides. If so, you should get that machine. If you do not need the extra stitches, I would price both machines and get whichever one was cheaper.
In summary
After reading this article, which one will you buy? Will you go for the Singer 4452 heavy duty sewing machine with the extra stitches, presser feet, and the clearance plate? Or will you choose the Singer 4423 and purchase the accessories if you need them? The machines are basically the same other than these features.
