Amazon.com Review
Ideal for sewing decorative and finishing stitches on linens, formal wear, and stretchy fabric, this 3/4 serger from Brother includes 22 built-in stitch functions and interchangeable creative feet. Stitch functions include 3-thread overlock, 4-thread overlock, narrow hemming, rolled hemming, and ribbon lock. The machine can also be used to form gentle gathers, join laces, sew spaghetti straps, and create fabric flowers for formal gowns. Its color-coded set up is convenient, quick, and straightforward, and the foot pedal offers sensitive speed control. For added efficiency and precision, the machine includes stitch width control, outside differential feed control, lay-in threading, the F.A.S.T. lower looper threading system, and an easy-to-remove stitch finger for narrow or rolled edges. It calls for standard sewing machine needles, and its flat surface converts to free arm for pant hems and cuffs. The serger comes with a full set of starter accessories, including a soft cover, a blind hem/multipurpose guide foot, a gathering foot, and a set of needles. A removable trim trap and a cleaning brush keep operation tidy. Additional feet are available separately for creating blind hem, pin tuck, and flat lock stitching. Brother includes a thorough instruction booklet with this model as well as CD-ROMs for operation tips and techniques. The machine carries a five-year limited warranty. --Emily Bedard

Summary: Wonderful Item! 2008-08-07
Comment: I have been sewing for almost 20 years and always wanted a serger. After researching for several months I decided on this one. I LOVE it! It is very easy to use and thread. I have made several projects and not had a single problem with it. It is the best investment I have made in my sewing.

Summary: great value for the price 2008-07-28
Comment: I love this serger - it does exacly what I want, flawlessly. The instructions are easy to follow, too. I wanted a serger to be able to finish the raw edges of yards and yards (seemed like miles) of edges along long lengths of fabric. At the sewing machine I'd always do a rolled hem, and it would take forever. The 1034D serger is so easy to use, no problems at all with tension or puckering or anything. It's great, well worth the money.

Summary: Sewing Joy 2008-07-27
Comment: After much research I finally purchased a serger. The Brother 1034D is everything they say it is. I have been sewing for 46 years and this has put some new joy in sewing for me. The only thing I have found it that it does not sew with smaller eyed needles. Not sure if it is me or the serger. Smaller needles break the thread. I will have to do more research and experimentation to figure this out. But I have made several sets of scrubs with the serger and it worked liked a charm. The video is a much see for threading and I was able to correctly thread it the first time. If you are looking for a serger, this is the one for you. Priced right, quick delivery and a joy to own.

Summary: Newbie at Serging 2008-07-04
Comment: I'm very pleased with the 1034D serger and with the BROTHER Corporation in Tennessee. I shopped for a good one at a reasonable price and this one fits. These reviews here at Amazon are what convinced me to buy this serger. The unit is made in Taiwan, but they do have Tennessee phone support if you have a problem and they have a web site with Q&A's about the product. I used my tax incentive money from BUBBA, so I am hoping some of it went into the local econony, for staff and support here in the U.S.
I'm new at serging, but the CD's that came with the serger are very helpful. If you READ and WATCH the CD's, if you are new to serging, it will help you tremendously. There's a lot to learn for us newbies. I also checked out some books in the local library and purchased one book (used, from Amazon) that was recommended in these reviews, "Sewing with Sergers, the Complete Handbook for Overlock Sewing" by Gail Brown and Pati Palmer. It is VERY good!
I did mark the "feet" that came with the unit (and the Elastic Taping foot that I bought separately) with the first letter of what they do with permanent ink, as I am not familiar with them yet.
The serger is quiet and easy to use...so far, and FAST. I recommend learning to thread the unit, it's not hard, just unfamiliar. I haven't done a lot of different seams yet, but I am learning. It is exciting to get a serger so I'm on the road to new adventures!! Thank you Brother!!!
