This machine works great. I have a hard time getting the fabric out of the machine once I am finished stitching and that is why I gave it 4 stars. There should be an easier way to remove the fabric.
I absolutely love my 2340CV. I do a lot of hemming for customers and it looks just like "you bought it at the store"! It also is sooooo easy to thread. LOVE IT!
The user manual is also user friendly. Set up is easy to follow. Various stitching, needle and tension changes easy to perform. Works just as I had hoped. Would recommend Craftsy class on Coverstitching, if additional questions persist.
This machine comes in handy for so many reasons. Tailoring: I can buy a stretch-knit shirts and pants that might be too long, or have long sleeves, and I can tailor them with this machine to fit me and shorten the sleeves. Two: you can sew any kind of fabric. I make awesome jockey shorts, and boxer style underwear out of my old T-shirts with this machine. This machine is affordable, easy to thread, and can save you money by being able to modify, mend, and create your own clothing.
I enjoyed using it but when I looked into the hemming foot or other feet the prices were ridiculous... Especially when you bought the machine to make t shirt more professional looking.. And there's not enough videos on how to remove the fabric from machine... And how to use the specialty feet.
I love it when a machine does just what it's designed to do very well. My stitches are beautiful!!! I also have an $$$ serger that converts to coverstitching, but that's a pain to do, and in my opinion a time waster. This machine has a great price also! I would like better instructions on using the accessories that were an extra purchase.
I love this coverstitch machine! It's not hard to learn to thread it, especially if you have some serger experience. It does take some practice and watching video tutorials on how to remove the fabric from the machine and tie off the ends properly. But once I got it, I got it! Now, not only are hems faster and easier, my knits look professionally made.
I would totally recommend this machine to anyone considering purchasing a cover stitch machine. Since I don't like changing thread colors in my regular sewing machine I knew I couldn't deal with a serger/cover stitch all in one machine. I decided to buy the Brother 1034D Serger and the 2340 CoverStitch. GREAT DECISION-I Love both. The stretch ability of the cover stitch is absolutely better than using a double-needle on a regular sewing machine.
