So far so good !

I bought my 1034D two months ago, after years of wanting a serger. I did some review checking and thought this was my best and most economic option at this time. It took me 6 weeks to open the box. I read the suggested Serger Handbook by Chris James, front to back, as soon as it arrived but I was a bit intimidated about threading the machine. Well I did it Monday, this is Thursday and I am not kidding when I tell you I have spent probably 30 hours using the machine. I had a lot of catching up to do and a lot of projects on the table. I am thoroughly enjoying it. Only thing I see negative is one of the small spool tops was missing from the original spools of thread on the machine when I unpacked. I will need to get one. Also think I should be looking for a case for this as well. Thanks Brother. I am a Singer and Pfaff owner previously. Now this Brother is a welcome addition.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I recently begun sewing and purchased the CS6000I. It was such an amazing sewing machine that when someone in class mentioned I needed a serger, I without hesitation, purchased the 1034D.
I have rethreaded it, run some practice pieces on it and cannot wait to do my scarfs as gifts for people!
I am really impressed with Brother products!

Love this Serger

I was very scared to buy a serger thinking it would be too complicated and I wouldn't use it and would feel awful wasting the money. What a surprise! This machine is awesome! Easy to learn to thread and seems indestructible. Have not tried all the stitches yet but the ones I have tried were easy and came out perfect. Can't say enough, love my Brother machines!

I have an older serger by another company and it needs to be repaired, haven't used it in years.
Now my Granddaughter is interested in sewing. She home schools and we will be using this as part of her home making classes to sew.
This machine is just what I wanted for her. So easy to use, so easy to thread, perfect for someone to learn on for a first serger. She has used the machine and handles it very well. I had her read the instructions and thread the machine. The instructions are written very well, easy to understand.

Great Product

I purchased this product because of the good reviews and also the great price for a serger. I have sewed for many years but had no experience at all with a serger. After unpacking the machine, I felt nervous about using it. Before I did anything more, I read the manual that came with it (twice) and then also watched the video (twice). I'm glad I did because I have had no problem at all threading the machine or using it. There are also some very good U Tube instructional videos online that are very helpful. If I can learn to use it so easily, anyone can! Just take your time with it and enjoy it.

Good Budget Purchase

This serger is a good buy for the price I paid. I love the handle for the presser foot. Best thing about the whole machine. There are a few things that could be improved on however. Lint builds up very fast on the lower loopers and must be cleaned after every use. It is difficult to clean out underneath but if the whole end could be removed easily it would make it possible to get out lint that has traveled into the mechanics. The machine is quite noisy but it doesn't affect the beautiful stitch it makes. Also the tray that catches the "cut off" is rather flimsy and doesn't catch all the lint like it should. A swing out presser foot would make threading needles easier. I guess I'm spoiled as I have had a Serger for 28 years that had the swing out foot, heavy duty tray, and ability to open up the lower loopers for cleaning and oiling. But that machine is now deceased and the new 1034D is satisfactory as it is a price I can afford and it has been pretty easy to operate.
