Product Description
A serger is a machine that creates the finished seam you see on the seams of ready made garments such as side seams in sweat shirts and tee shirts. It trims the seam and encloses the seam allowance or edge of the fabric, inside a thread casing, all in one step. The width and density of the stitching are two of the many variables available on a serger. Another word for Serger is Overlock and the two terms are often used together.

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

 Brother 1034D - excellent buy for the money December 26, 2008
This machine does as advertised and more. This is an excellent buy for the price, and is hard to beat. Easy loading for all four threads, smooth operating, and fairly compact. Another machine that compares costs about eight times as much. Very happy with this serger, and would recommend it to anybody.
Brother 1034 Serger December 16, 2008
Great machine - easy to thread, easy to use. Have had mine about a month and have done many projects with it. Uses regular machine needles and regular thread. Would recommend this product.Brother 1034D 3/4 Lay-In Thread Serger

I debated whether to get a serger and how much to spend on one for quite some time. I am mostly self-taught with a sewing machine and didn't have much money for a serger.
I'm glad I took the plunge. The Brother 1034d was a great choice! It was easy to thread and learn to use. I had never used a serger before, but I was serging simple garments the day I opened the box. This serger is a great value for someone looking for an entry level serger. I wish I would have bought one a long time ago. This relatively inexpensive machine is fabulous, and I think it will be a long time before I need or want to upgrade to something fancier.
Wow! October 30, 2008

I chose this serger based on people who had actually used the machine. It is everything they said.
This is my first serger. Threading it is a breeze - just do it exactly as the instructions indicate. An extra light is helpful.
The video instructions suck. If you have never used a serger get some books and read them first.
 Instructions are not good!!! October 20, 2008

If you are not an experienced sewing machine operator, prepare yourself to be frustrated. The video is somewhat useful but it rushes through the settings and the booklet is totatlly worthless. Besides...YOU WILL NEED A SEPARATE SEWING MACHINE for regular stitching, this one doesn't do any of the traditional stitches!!!
