 Sewing Joy July 27, 2008

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.

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!!!
No bells, No whistles, just a darn good machine June 24, 2008

This is my first Brother serger. I don't know why I was so reluctant to even TRY a Brother. This is the best machine I have had. As I said, no bells, no whistles, but it does the work. I would definitly buy it again, and would have - actually - SHOULD have bought this before I spent all kinds of money on another brand. Thank you Amazon for having it for sale.
Wonderful serger for a beginner! June 18, 2008

I am a complete novice, with great aspirations for sewing. I did some research and decided on this machine - and am extremely pleased with my purchase! It came pre-threaded with color-coded thread, great directions, and it really is easy to use. I highly recommend this model to anyone wanting to get started with a serger. I am now thoroughly annoyed when I have to pull out my normal sewing machine (rarely, thanks to the knife disable option on this serger!), as it seems very clunky and slow in comparison.
brother serger June 2, 2008

Arrived very quickly, haven't had time to set it up yet, but I used my last Brother serger for almost fifteen years before I had major problems with it. If this one lasts that long, it will be money well spent.
