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

 Brother serger July 26, 2010

Ive had a singer serger berfore....and hated it. I needed to buy a new one but I was dreading it. After reading all the reviews on the
brother, this was the one. It is easy to thread...really.The first few times can be trying, but once I got it, it sews great. I like having the option of 4 thread or 3 thread, better on thread and looks are different. The books are easy to read, and the cd that comes with it fills in the extra info needed. Im happy with it. Already have been able to repair many clothes that have been needing alterations. In the long run I feel it can save me money, and my clothes will fit better....what more could a girl ask for .....lol
such a great buy! July 19, 2010

I was afraid of trying serger. I have been sewing for 29 years, I don't know what I was afraid of, but buying serger didn't even come to mind before. I was big fan of Singer since my first sewing machine, never bother to buy any other. But recently my newer version Singer kept breaking down on me. So I decided to have one extra for a spare. Then idea of buying serger came across. I was going to buy Martha Stewart recommended Singer one first, but after I read Amazon reviews, it seemed brother one was more popular. Having 4 thread spools made me freeze, but it wasn't hard at all if you watch the instruction CD first. so I tried this little machine for the first time and could not believe how easy it was to use, finish of the product looks way more professional! I tied another thread when I first change the color of thread, just like in CD, but my thread broke. I put in new one but did not read my instruction that you must change certain spool first.
so my stitch was not coming good at first, but after I read the instructions on how to change the tread, I knew what went wrong, after then, it was piece of cake.
Now, I am using this machine not as spare, but as my first choice. Only the thought of regret is why didn't I try it earlier?! Anyway, this deal was so incredibly low price, may be now is a best time to buy it anyway, serger used to be such an expensive machine.

I purchased this serger a month or so ago. I have never used a serger before, so I took a class at a local shop to learn more about how to use it. The instructor had never seen this serger and was very impressed with it! She said it did exactly what her $1000+ serger did at a fraction of the cost. It serges and does rolled hems beautifully. I've only completely rethreaded once, but it did seem to be fairly easy. I think this is a great machine for the money.
My very own first serger July 9, 2010

I have used in the past an singer serger. I love how the Brother 1034D was easy to learn and work with. In no time I was using my machine like I have known it for the longest time. I am still learning about the different stitches and i know I have a way to go, but so far I love my serger.
