Ideal for sewing decorative and finishing stitches on linens, formal wear, and stretchy fabric, this 3/4 serger from Brother includes 22 built-in stitch functions and interchangeable creative feet. Stitch functions include 3-thread overlock, 4-thread overlock, narrow hemming, rolled hemming, and ribbon lock. The machine can also be used to form gentle gathers, join laces, sew spaghetti straps, and create fabric flowers for formal gowns. Its color-coded set up is convenient, quick, and straightforward, and the foot pedal offers sensitive speed control. For added efficiency and precision, the machine includes stitch width control, outside differential feed control, lay-in threading, the F.A.S.T. lower looper threading system, and an easy-to-remove stitch finger for narrow or rolled edges. It calls for standard sewing machine needles, and its flat surface converts to free arm for pant hems and cuffs.

The serger comes with a full set of starter accessories, including a soft cover, a blind hem/multipurpose guide foot, a gathering foot, and a set of needles. A removable trim trap and a cleaning brush keep operation tidy. Additional feet are available separately for creating blind hem, pin tuck, and flat lock stitching. Brother includes a thorough instruction booklet with this model as well as CD-ROMs for operation tips and techniques. The machine carries a five-year limited warranty. --Emily Bedard

Rating : - Lack of instruction
When I received my Brother 1034D Serger I was so excited until I tried to view the instructional CD that was enclosed. It was not compatible with my Windows Vista and when I asked Brother for a copy of the free instructional Video Tape they advertised in my packaging materials, I was told that it was only a promotional item and was no longer available. They gave me a 900 number to contact for help. I will not call a 900 number as you must pay a large sum to use those numbers. Therefore, I have not been able to use my machine at this time. I am having my first grandchild soon and was hoping to make some baby things utilizing the serger. Looks like I'm stuck with a machine I cannot use.

I am not happy.
