Customer Review: Best surger for the money I have ever owned!
Summary: 5 Stars
This surger offers so many benefits of surgers that cost five times more. It is so easy to use and comes with a DVD for tips and use of unit. I would recomend it to anyone as their first time surger.Customer Review: Beyond expectations for the cost: 4 years old now
Summary: 5 Stars
After quite a bit of research by us, I purchased this machine for my wife. She has been sewing for many years yet was slightly "spooked" about owning a serger. By using the supplied instructional DVD and learning about this machine before using it,she is thrilled with the results. It gets used almost daily and she has zero complaints about the operation and capabilities of this machine. She is able to "fine tune" the necessary operatives without stressing and states that for her (home) usage, this Brother does all it claims without error.She also says, "It gives my work a 'professionally done look'..."
If you are new to serging,save yourself a-lot of grief > Study up before using.
Here's an update on March 29, 2011 - 4 years since original review. This machine has many hours on it now and performs as good as when it was new. An occasional oiling is the only attention it has received. Have not even broken a needle. Assuming there have been no shortcuts in production, this is a Great b Buy. period
Customer Review: Boy Have Sergers Come a Long Way
Summary: 4 Stars
I have been using an old (20 yr) serger but decided to treat myself to a new one when it came time to get it adjusted yet again this year. For slightly less than two years charges of adjustments I have gotten a machine that is far above what sergers used to do.
Last weekend I made a set of draperies and bed skirts using both a heavy fabric and a light-weight one. The Brother serger went from one to the other and back again without adjustment and looked wonderful in both cases. My suggestion is if you are using an older serger, treat yourself to the new features like lay-in threading and easy to thread lower loopers that were plagues of the older sergers. If you are looking for a first serger this one will fill the bill. I like it so well I went out and bought me a new Brother 6100 Sewing Machine to go with it.
Customer Review: Broke within the first week
Summary: 3 Stars
I was loving this machine till it BROKE!!! This is my first serger and I found it very easy to use. Watched the videos and referenced the books and I was off and sewing. Then tragedy struck, I was sewing a purse made of wool and when I came to a thicker seam instead of stopping the whole arm that runs the needle bent sideways. There was no way to fix it. Luckily amazon took it back and refunded my money without any problems. After thinking about it for a few weeks I decided this must have been a fluke and I'm going to try it again, so I have ordered another of the same -- wish me luck!Customer Review: Brother 1034 D Serger is SUPER
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading many reviews and trying one out at my local Brother Dealer, I purchased this one at Amazon. The price was great and it did everything that was advertised. I Recommend this product and ALL Brother sewing/embroydery machines. Like they say, "Brother, always at your side"
