All those people who sew, as a professional, hobby Or any thing should get this machine. It’s make life so easy. The only problem is the mess , I wish it has a bag for the mess it makes
I am very pleased with my new serger. My old brother serger just gave out. It was only 35 plus years old. My new one came with the gathering foot ( I haven't tried it yet ) and the hemming foot. That one is great, I used it to shorten the sleeves on my daughter's new shirt. I have since ordered the elastic foot and it will be here very soon. I just can't wait for everyone to leave me alone and let me use my new machine. I also have a regular sewing machine by Brother and did have another but gave it to a 12 year old friend that was interested in learning to sew. Brother is a wonderful brand. Oh, I forgot my Brother fax machine.
I can't compare it to other sergers because this is the only one I have ever used. But although I was intimidated at first, I jumped in and found it to be pretty easy and user friendly. Re-threading is not hard. The dvds that came with it were not very good. I've learned mostly from the internet and youtube.
This is a super little machine. Although not an automatic threader, the lower looper threading is soooo much easier than my old machine! I am very pleased.
I'm very pleased with my Brother 1043d and have recommended this machine to anyone who asks for serger recommendations. this machine is very easy to thread and care for. I can easily switch from 4-thread serge to 3-thread rolled hem (which I use quite often).
I really love this machine. I was hesitant to purchase because I thought,it's so inexpensive that it must not be well made. Well so far, this is far from that thought.
I've been sewing for years but this is my first surger I was worried about learning to see with it even threading it looked intimidating but I've been able to thread it and sew very easy great product and the DVD made learning about the machine a breeze. Love it!
Good purchase however very difficult to thread lower threads and instructions not clear on how to set or change the tensions or the size of the stitches.
