Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Brother 1034D 3/4 Lay-In Thread Serger
Customer Review: A great machine for the price!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
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: 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: AMAZING and FUN
Summary: 5 Stars
I first bought a used unheard of name brand serger to practice with before I bought a good one, not being sure I'd like serging, BIG mistake HUGE! I had the other serger less than a week before reselling it on eBay. I had nothing but problems with it and it almost scared me out of buying another one. After much research and reading every review I could find on every brand of serger ever made. The Brother 1034D had only 3 bad reviews (under 3 stars) on the 30 sites I checked. 2 were because they had a UK plug, which had nothing to do with the machine itself being bad. The other one was from a woman who was a self proclaimed "sewing goddess" who had a thousand dollar machine and this one didn't compare to it (DUH!).
This serger (Brother 1034D) is so much fun. I have been playing with it for days and still get excited with every stitch I make. The instruction manual is very detailed and easy to follow with illistrations, plus there is a seperate manual that shows you all the different stitches and how to set your machine to the exact tension for each stitch! 22 different ones! Plus gives you ideas on how to make your own unique stitches. It also came with some C.D's that I have not even watched yet.
The machine comes prethreaded with colored thread to match the threading guides. It is not as difficult as some people make it out to be nor as complicated as it looks to be. If you can follow directions and you can thread a conventional machine this is a piece of cake. There are color coded numbers for each thread, just follow the numbers. You also get 3 feet, foots whatever you'd like to call them :) One is all purpose which is great! A blind hem foot AWESOME! and a gathering foot that I have not tried yet.
Believe me when I say this machine is AWESOME! and worth it to spend a little extra money on qualtity. Believe me I know there are cheaper ones and I have already been there, done that, don't make that mistake. Amazon is the cheapest website to buy it, I also took advantage of the super saver shipping and it was here in 3 days! talk about fast! Amazon also has great customer service and return policy just in case!
I HOPE that this review scares you away from other machines and makes you pick this one. I am confident that you will be extremely happy with the purchase as I was, unless you are a self proclaimed "sewing goddess" with a thousand dollar serger already :P. This machine is great for the first time sewer to the sewer looking to upgrade. I have already done all the research for you! Now all you have to do is buy it and start SERGING!
