Brother 1034D 3 4 Lay In Thread Serger

Brother 1034D 3 4 Lay In Thread Serger

A serger is a machine that creates the finished seam you see on the seams of ready made garments such as side seams in sweat shirts and tee shirts. It trims the seam and encloses the seam allowance or edge of the fabric, inside a thread casing, all in one step. The width and density of the stitching are two of the many variables available on a serger. Another word for Serger is Overlock and the two terms are often used together.

User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Great machine, not so great threading
When I received the machine in very short order I was surprised and happy. It came threaded and I started

using it right away. It needs a little help to get started on the stitching by a slight turn of the knob but after

that it was good to go. I am very happy with the machine performance.

Of course within a couple weeks it became unthreaded and try as I might it won’t sew right again.

I’ve gone thru the booklet a couple times and looked at the directions shown on the machine but it isn’t working

for me. I’m going to sit down and follow the directions step by step and if that doesn’t do it I will need help

from somewhere getting it threaded. I’m sure it’s one of those, once I do it right then it will be a quick and easy thing. Right now?? no.

I do love the machine. I just need to figure out how to thread the little thing.

5 Stars Easy to use, works like a charm
I’m pretty new to serious sewing. I’ve done a few projects over the years, making some items and doing a lot of repairs on jeans etc, with a regular sewing machine. Last year I did my first coat which was challenging and I certainly learned a lot, but while it looked ok on the outside, the inside has a lot of raw edges. Over the last month I’ve been making a robe. I saw a pro friend use a serger and got interested in it, but didn’t want to spend a thousand bucks. When I recently looked at the lower priced models, I was apprehensive. Would they break? Were they versatile enough? I’ve liked other Brother equipment — I have one of their printers — but a serger is a whole different machine. After reading a bunch of reviews on the Brother 1034D, and in the middle of this project and facing doing a lot of hems and finishing work, I took the plunge. Boy am I glad I did. I got it last wednesday; today is sunday and I finished the robe. Rethreading the serger is not hard, but practicing on scraps is absolutely invaluable. I did a blind hem with the included foot, which took more practice to get right. I finished all of the interior seams and edges in minutes, and the results look great. I’ll be able to go back to the coat and finish it off with the serger. The time I saved and how easy it was to get good results more than made up for the price. I am super happy with this purchase and looking forward to more projects.

5 Stars Fantastic Serger!
My serging experience started with an old machine found at a yard sale. While the machine was a name brand, it was so difficult to use, took an incredibly long time to thread. I had thought that maybe serging wasn’t for me. That is, until I visited a friends house and saw her 1034D. When I asked her about it, she raved how easy it was, how she couldn’t live without it and offered to give me a quick tutorial. It was incredible! So easy to thread, so easy to use and such fantastic results!

Needless to say, I bought one myself right away and I haven’t been happier with my sewing in ages! I never would have guessed serging could be so much fun.

5 Stars Amazing and so (sew) easy
I’ve always thought a Serger would be difficult and take more skill and focus than I have at this stage as an infrequent sewer. This thing literally comes out of the box ready to go, the threading instructions are very easy to follow, I had a few questions but the DVD included cleared up my question in less than 10 minutes. I just got it a few days ago and whipped out 28 superhero capes for my son’s bday-no problem. I bought a book but don’t think I’ll even need it except if I really want to do something really involved. Might like to do more complicated projects one day and will have no hesitation about diving right in. Love it, love it, love it.

5 Stars Awesome!!!
I’m a fashion Designer, and I was looking for some kind of easy to work and not expensive Thread Serger, I saw many options including the singer brand, but the reviews were not that great, Brother 1034D 3/4 Lay-In Thread Serger until I found this one.

I like the price and I took the risk ….And it was awesome!!!, so easy to work with, its really easy to thread and its really smooth and quiet. One of the things I was happy with, its the flat overlock stich, whatever you need to finish with this little machine, its going to be great.

Just practice the tension and you going to enjoy it as much as me.
