I bought mine from a woman who is new to sewing and thought this was just a compact sewing machine. She couldn't figure it out, so I got a great deal except she couldn't find the instruction manual. So I turned to YouTube and with the help of a good friend, I had it running in no time. It works great and I love using it. Love the neat finish it puts on my seams.
All my machines are brother/Babylock. Love them all and these prices are outstanding. I highly recommend this brand and have given as a gift to a new sewist.
Can I buy an extension for the pedal cord? As a tall person, I have to be so hunched in order for the desk to be low enough for the pedal to reach the floor.
I bought my 1034D five years ago to sew pillows. As an Independent Contractor for a very busy workroom, serging all cases and welt is mandatory. I can tell you that I use this machine nearly every day and it has held up so well. It is basically an industrial machine for me. In that it is so inexpensive I thought I would just buy it and get another in a year or so. It has lasted all these years! I do clean and oil it regularly and it just keeps on going. The blades are expensive though and with what I do I have to change them every 6 months or less.
I bought this machine 3 years ago, have used it a lot as I am an alteration seamstress and work mostly on bridal attire. Now I’d like to purchase another so I have a back up macine, and it’s out of stock everywhere!
I have never used a serger and was afraid of threading it. I watched a lot of youtube while I was waiting for the machine to come and helped a lot on everything. First thing before you use it oil it, it tells you to oil it before you use it but it's at the end of the instruction book. Read the instruction book first before you use it too. Ok for the treading it's really easy after a few times of treading. I sat my chrome book in front of me with while I threaded it. I haven't tried all the stitches yet just been using with my other brother sewing machine making masks, microwave cozy's and potatoe bags.
very disappointed!! I bought it and just tried it out and it worked ok. Changed the thread and now it's not sewing. I know it's threaded correctly. It's making a knocking noise and sounds terrible!! I wouldn't suggest it at all!
