Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Brother 1034D 3/4 Lay-In Thread Serger
Customer Review: 1st time serger owner...easy to learn, smooth
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a beginner sewer and was making children's clothing on a conventional machine and discovered I needed a serger for a more professional look. I purchased this one after much research and reading many reviews. It arrived in two days (thanks Amazon) and was easy to thread. The first time I followed the directions and after that I remembered and followed the pictures that are printed on the serger itself and it's was very easy. I am continuing to learn the things it does and I have been very impressed so far.
One CON that I would like to mention is that the instructional CD's that come with the serger are just that...CD's. They only play on a microsoft computer, not a Apple MAC, which is what I have. They do not have them in DVD form either so they are pretty much of no use to me unless I borrow someone else's computer. Bummer! I was really looking forward to those instructions.
Other than that...happy serging!!
Customer Review: A Great Machine for a Beginner
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been sewing for a few years now, and I decided to finally purchase a serger. Within this budget, I did quite a bit of research. I got to work with the Singer serger that is comparable to this one, and it was similar, but noisy and didn't come with too many accessories. I think they are both good machines, but I am very happy with this Brother serger.
So far I have only been doing basic serging, but the machine seems to work great. It is much easier to thread than the Singer models. However, the instuctional videos are quite terrible. The video for threading the serger was very poor; so poor that I had to make my own to help others --
[...]
As I explore the options with this serger more, I may create some more instructional videos. The ones that come with the machine are extremely old, fuzzy, and they cut away at important moments.
With that being said, I'm very happy with my purchase. I'm neurotic about finding exactly the right thing I want, and I believe I found it this time.
Once I use more of the other features, I will definitely leave more info in a review.
Customer Review: A beginners dream
Summary: 5 Stars
This was not only my first time owning my own serger but this was also my first time ever using a serger and this machine made it so easy to teach myself. I had no problems with threading the machine or the tension what so ever. The instructions were detailed with color coding etc. This is the perfect machine for a beginner or anyone else for that matter. Love it!!!
Customer Review: A fantastic product for the price
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my first attempt to use a serger. This machine is fantastic! It is easy to use.....the only problem I had was that I neglected to see that it had to be threaded in a certain order. Once I finally let that soak in.....I have had no problems and feel like I can tackle any kind of sewing project now.Customer Review: A great Serger! A+++++

I cannot say enough of this Serger!! It is so easy to use and smart. I use it commercially and am amazed at how durable it is and how well it works! This machine is pure convenience and having a switch to control the cutting blade instead of manually lifting it is a major plus!
