Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Brother 1034D 3/4 Lay-In Thread Serger
Customer Review: A welcome, needed product
Summary: 5 Stars
I sew an immense amount of products using fabrics that ravel tremendously. A serger is absolutely necessary for this type of sewing from my point of view. I had one before that I fought for years. It was extremely difficult to thread and was constantly breaking it's threads. This one has yet to break it's threads. The instructions were not too clear as to how to thread it but once I realized how it was done it is a piece of cake. An added plus is the fact you can use ordinary spools of thread. If you want the most elaborate serger made this probably is not for you but if you want a totally functional, workhorse that will serve you well at a reasonable price this is a perfect one for you. I have a Brother sewing machine and it is the best one I have ever owned and I have had many. I ordered this serger hoping it would be as good and it is.Customer Review: Easy to use
Summary: 5 Stars
I have sewn for years on a regular machine, but have always been hesitant to buy a serger because of the cost, and because I have seen how hard they are to thread correctly. However, this one caught my attention because the reviews said it was easy to use, & because of the low price, I was willing to take a chance. The reviews are accurate. It comes already threaded, so you can start sewing right away. After I read the instruction book and watched the handy CDs, I was able to make two pairs of pants immediately, and was able to thread the machine correctly on my first try, with only a bit of puzzling about the loopers. It's really quite simple and fast, a pleasant surprise. The accessory bag did not have a screwdriver, but the instruction book said that it was included. I would recommend this for anyone learning how to serge.Customer Review: I love it!

I bought this machine after about a year of research. I matched up with this machine on [...] with all of the criteria I filled in. Basically I wanted a simple to thread serger that did other things like rolled hems and had a differential feed since I work on a variety of fabrics. It creates beautiful stitches. I've had great success with it, it's easy to thread and use. The instructional dvd's are very helpful. I only have one small complaint that the rolled hem feature doesn't do well with all fabrics and the settings weren't correct in the manual. It does do well on some fabrics just not everything I've tried. It may take me tinkering with it some more. My previous serger was a white 534 and that dinosaur was a heart attack to thread and keep going so this brother serger is a dream compared to that!Customer Review: A great machine for the price!!!

This is a great serger for the price!!! I purchased a different more expensive serger before this and returned it after only 2 hours of trying to get it to work! The brother serger comes with a great instructional cd-rom to make sure you get the most out of your serger. The removable stitch finger for rolled hems was very easy to use, I was able to make 5 dance skirts in a matter of a couple of hours with the neat rolled hem. The machine is easy to adjust for different thickness fabrics and the heirloom stitches is great for sewing those special outfits. I also own a brother sewing machine and so far have not had any trouble with either of them! I am very happy with the machines, how they run and most especially the special features and stitches you get with the machine for such a reasonable price!Customer Review: Great value (even if it costs a little more)

This serger is fabulous. Its easy to use and does most thinks you would need a serger for. The instructions are great and it comes with a CD-rom video that helps you understand the fuctions of the machine. It comes all set up and ready to use. I got a great deal on this machine from Amazon but it would have been a value even if it cost a little more. I tried a White (that actually costs more) and it was aweful. It vibrated off the table almost. And the set up and threading was hard to understand (especially since it didnt come with any instructions). The Brother runs smooth even at high speed sewing and I rarely have any troubles (like thread breakage, etc). Did I mention this is the first time I used a serger? If every first time user bought a Brother, I am sure more people would use sergers.
