I have to say this has been my favorite Serger, even compared to the expensive ones that I have had. I have had this one for a couple of years and it is great.
I don't know why I waited so long to make this purchase! I have had so much fun sewing clothes for my grandkids, it is so easy to use. If you are intimidated by online reviews of the horrors of threading a serger, the instructions make it a breeze to thread, just follow the numbered steps and enjoy!
It's been performing well for the past 3 months and love the way it operates. The manual is well explained and a good reference though I get more insight from YouTube.
We are very happy with our new 1034D serger. We are still learning about all it can do. It is very easy to thread. To change thread I like how you can just tie the new onto the existing and pull it through. It is important though to read through all the material and watch the videos they provide. You may need to watch them a couple of times. This helped me.
Zip, zip seams are done. Zip, zip seams are sewn and trimmed. Quick and easy...I love this machine. Even threading is easy by following the color coding. The only issue I have is why I waited so long to buy it!!!
