First time serger user. Had read other reviews of this model and decided to purchase. I do agree it's a bit noisy but works well.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Brother 1034D

The best thing I can say about the serger is that stitch is very good. The video provided with the machine is a good idea, except the viewing window is way to small. Especially the threading videos on the the loopers. Your video was to small and to dark. I had to go to You Tube to get a better view to seeing how to thread them. I'm also concerned about how noisy the machine is. I listen to a audio book while I'm sewing and can't hear it as long as I'm sewing and the CD player is only setting 2 feet from me. This is my biggest worry about the machine. The other concen I have is you have to push pretty hard on the foot pedal it get the serger to start sewing and sometimes I have to give the hand wheel a turn to get it to start. I have been sewing on it since I received it and this is not my first serger. I bought my first serger in 1985 and have been using is constantly until about a month or so ago. I use a serger a lot more than my regular sewing machine.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Happy so Far

I had never used a serger but sew on a regular basis. I ordered this one as I didn't want to have too large of an investment and reviews were good. So I gave it a try. I have found it to be very easy to use. I have even had to rethread it twice and from what I was told that is the most difficult part of a serger. The guide/numbering made rethreading a snap. I can say that for a beginner this was a great buy!

easy to use

I had always thought sergers were too complicated. I bought my machine used from a local dealer and got two one-hour free lessons included. The threading is very easy, just follow the color guidelines. With the lessons, and the manual, I have been able to successfully learn to use the serger. So far I use it to finish seams on garments and drapes. but plan to try some of the other options.

I've had other sergers and ended up giving them away because they were difficult to thread and to use. The 1034D Serger is heavenly! Easy to thread, easy to use. I'm never giving this one up. Just had it a month and have made several outfits for my granddaughter and me. It's a joy to use!

Love this!

I haven't had the time to learn all this machine has to offer but so far I am loving it. The price was the best I could find anywhere. At first I was intimidated by the machine and threading but it was not difficult at all. Now everything looks professional. Highly recommend this serger!

love this machine

I replaced my 20year old serger with this machine. I am extremely satisfied. The setting recommendations are on point. Threading is so easy. It states it is a little louder when running than more expensive models, but it actually is quieter than others. My only concern is in the long run how long will it last, I use it constantly. I do not have simple weekend projects. I make dance costumes as well as everyday clothes. When I sew, I sew for hours and this machine never skips a beat.
