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

Newbie at Serging July 4, 2008
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.

Brother 3/4 Thread Serger May 30, 2008
Product is a good value for the money. DVD tutorials give you good product information on the variety of stitches and how to thread machine. Easy to use and threading in clearly marked. Only gave it four stars because the machine is light weight in construction and at low speeds, foot control is not as smooth as more expensive machines.
