First time using a serger. Not too difficult to thread. Would like more room between opening by fabric placement and machine opening. Hard to get through to pull thread to the back.
My favorite thing about this serger is that it is a free arm machine. It is easy to set up for different stitches and the adjustments are quick easy. It has a thread catcher that is handy. I can use regular sewing machine needles.
Liking my Brother Serger so far. Yes, there is a bit of a learning curve, but there are a number of helpful videos on YouTube and, the instructions also pointed me in the right direction when it comes to threading... Finding that it is very useful on a number of items that I make quite often.
I am very happy with my Brother 1634dx Serger. It gives me the results I need and is especially great for working with stretch knits. I found great youtube videos on threading, cleaning, and general use that were very helpful. Once I used some of my scrap material to familiarize myself with its operation, I found it to be a great machine for my sewing needs.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. I got the Brother 1634DX 3/4 Thread Serger about a month ago and I love it. This is my first serger and it was so easy to learn. The stitches are even and tight. I like it because it isn't super loud. It is about as loud as my sewing machine. After watching a video online I can now thread it also. The Brother 1634DX 3/4 Thread Serger seems to be very well made and does exactly what it is suppose to do. I am really impressed with this serger.
