Brother Sewing Machine - Serger - 1034D Serger Review

I love my Brother 1034D serger. When I first fell in love with sergers I did some research and decided I KNEW I wanted a free arm and a differential feed and the ablility to use decorative threads - BUT- I did not have thousands of dollars to learn with. Brother made it possible for me to have it all and it has been 2 years now and I have made LOTS of lounge pants and tee shirts and pillowcases and aprons for my family for Christmas presents. They all have a nice professional finish . I have only had problems two times and it turned out that it was MY fault and I had to research the tension  - a machine can only run as good as the OPERATOR  lets it. ~smile~ I adore the free arm - working around pants legs and shirt sleeves and with the differential I can work with any fabrics, plus it handles decorative threads like a champ and I can decorate beautiful baby blankets so simply . I have also used the decorative threads to make small bags and they always turn out perfect. My only problem is that IF I ever have a problem I do not have a local Brother dealship and would have to travel over an hour for help. I Love my littler Brother 1034D and am grateful to Brother for making it possible for me to own a new serger .(At least she was 2 years past!) ~smile~ Linda
