Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Brother 1034D 3/4 Lay-In Thread Serger
Customer Review: Great serger
Summary: 5 Stars
Like most women, I to was afraid of a "serger". Recieved my new Brother serger Tuesday and got it out of the box...placed it on my sewing table and looked at it until today. But this machine is great, within just a few minutes, I practiced the sample stitch, re-threaded it, and with a few simple moves was able to do a rolled hem, just that easy. Within a few more minutes was making napkins for my table. I researched several sergers, price did catch my eye on this one..wanted something with ease of use, being a newbie, but I didn't want to spend a years salary. Just the little time that I have had this machine, I love it. The reviews on this page was my second reason for buying...all the information that I needed..thank you. For beginners or the experienced, this Brother serger is for you. Brother is the only brand I own, and I have put them through their paces and wouldn't have it any other way. Good quality, user friendly and the cost is great. Take these reviews to heart and buy this product with confidence. Enjoy.Customer Review: Beyond expectations for the cost: 4 years old now

After quite a bit of research by us, I purchased this machine for my wife. She has been sewing for many years yet was slightly "spooked" about owning a serger. By using the supplied instructional DVD and learning about this machine before using it,she is thrilled with the results. It gets used almost daily and she has zero complaints about the operation and capabilities of this machine. She is able to "fine tune" the necessary operatives without stressing and states that for her (home) usage, this Brother does all it claims without error.She also says, "It gives my work a 'professionally done look'..."
If you are new to serging,save yourself a-lot of grief > Study up before using.
Here's an update on March 29, 2011 - 4 years since original review. This machine has many hours on it now and performs as good as when it was new. An occasional oiling is the only attention it has received. Have not even broken a needle. Assuming there have been no shortcuts in production, this is a Great b Buy. period
Customer Review: Brother 1034D Serger
Summary: 5 Stars
I just purchased my fourth Brother 1034D Serger. I have been using these sergers commercially since 1999. The model number has changed over the years, but it still seems to be the same serger. This inexpensive serger is a "work horse", easy to thread, simple to adjust the tension, and always has a beautiful stitch. My sergers are used in my business for many hours daily. My previous serger lasted four years before just finally wearing out. I would never waste the money again on a more expensive serger because I can wear it out just as fast as I can wear this one out. This little serger seems to never require repairs - just blow the lint out of it and keep going. In the past, I always had problems with my commercial sergers which typically cost two to three thousand dollars each. They were extremely difficult to thread and the stitch quality never looked as nice as that of the Brother 1034D. I will never switch brands or models and hope Brother will continue to manufacture this serger for years to come.Customer Review: This is a great serger and a great deal!

I got this serger for mother's day last year and just ordered another for my friend yesterday. I am fairly new to sewing and am in no way an expert. I saw all of the great reviews on this and immediately told my hubby about it. He then purchased it for me for mother's day. I was so intimidated by it, that I left it sealed in the box until a month ago. It was just the thought of using a serger with all those threads. I thought that if I had it, I might as well use it....and I'm so glad I did! The informative dvd was a life saver because I've never even seen how a serger is threaded let alone done it myself. The best advice I can give you is to use the technique where you keep the machine threaded and tie the new thread to the old ones and pull them through. I am so happy with this machine that I've been recommending it to everyone I know that sews. You can't beat it for the money. The other nice ones are so expensive in comparison and I can't see where they would be any better than this one. I hope this helps=)Customer Review: Another raving review for this little serger

As many of the other reviews state, this really is a super little machine for the price! I've been sewing for 40+ years and consider myself an intermediate sewer/quilter, yet this is my first serger. I find it very easy to thread -- really no more difficult than an ordinary sewing machine if you just follow the color codes for each thread and use the provided tweezers for threading the small needle/looper holes. I've already completed 3 projects using the various stitch capabilities. Each time I change thread color I make it a point to re-thread from the beginning just for practice. The included CD's provide additional visual instruction and are worth viewing. I'll mention that the first machine I ordered got lost in transit, but as soon as I notified Amazon they shipped another one to me overnight at no additional shipping cost -- Kudos to them! If you're looking for an inexpensive serger without a lot of bells and whistles but can do the job this is it!
