BROTHER 1034D Heavy-Duty Metal Frame Serger, 1,300 Stitches Per Minute, White

After researching overlockers on line, this model got the best rating overall for people just starting out with overlockers. I can't claim any great expertise, but this is a great machine. It is simple to operate and, most importantly, to thread, as this seems to be the biggest problem most people have. It comes with a very clear operating manual which covers all the important points and, even better, a DVD which actually demonstrates how it all works. Early days for me, but so far, I have managed to successfully accomplish basic sewing and have easily rethreaded the machine. It has a lot of features which are going to be very useful as I gain experience. I am not currently using it to its full potential, but that is down to my limitations, not those of the machine. I would recommend this overlocker to anyone who wants a foolproof basic machine.

looked for second overlocker for my sewing room. checked a lot of models, (the first one is jaguar 096, which one is a little bit pricey). decided to try this model, as it has very good reviews. so far-very happy with purchase, working fast and quiet, very easy to change threads. highly recommended for everyone, even for beginners.

Seems a good quality overlocker although I've only been practising on spare fabric until I get up the courage to make an actual garment. Forget the instruction manual and dvd and try YouTube for easier to understand instructions. Didn't include a trimmings catcher but an empty small Ferrero Roche box fits perfectly!

So happy with my purchase! Fast delivery. Great product easy to follow instructions! I had never used an over locker before and yet had no problem getting right into it! Looking forward to discovering all the creative possibilities this machine has to offer.

Very pleased with this purchase. Bought this for my daughter who makes her own clothes she is well impressed! Item arrived very quickly and gets plenty of use.

A very good overlocker for the price, rethreading takes a little while ( but i tend to use only one colour thread ) Comes with a comprehensive manual......My machine did not, so i down loaded from a known web site.

Being a beginner in sewing, I found this over locker very helpful in making a neat/professional dresses. It is very easy to use/understand. I can't say much about durability as this is my first machine, but we will see how it goes.

A brilliant machine I purchased in September 2017. Only now it’s not working and seller isn’t getting back to me or to Amazon ! I would like a replacement or a refund so I can purchase another one as it is now my hobby because I can’t get out and about anymore.

Excellent product

Es muy bonita original, pero, no es la que quería.. Quería la 1034DX por eso la devolví y pedí mi reembolso la regrese al otro día y son hrs qué aun no me dan mi reembolso?? 🤦🏻‍♀️ Que me han dicho en las llamadas se han atrasado por devolución de otras compras y de otras personas? si necesito por favor mi devolución de los 5,965.. muchas gracias!

She is perfect!🤍

Great fun to use and a great choice if you want to try out a serger. Have used it for small projects and it is easy to set up and use. Threading looks intimidating but it is pretty easy -- just follow the instructions in the manual or the references on the machine. After using this, I don't think I would bother with an automatic threading machine - manual threading is not a problem. I love the rolled hem operation -- you remove the left needle, remove a finger in the mechanism, set the settings, and go; I love the finished stitch as it can almost look like piping, depending on your thread. Thread tension is easy to set and the settings hold -- have had no problems with thread tension. A great little machine and completely meets my needs for crafting and men's shirts. Highly recommend all Brother machines - while I collect and use vintage machines, Brothers are my go-to when I want to focus on getting things done without having to fiddle with vintage character and quirks.

I am loving this machine something I've been wanting for a long time and this was an affordable version I've only had it for a short time but so far it works great!
