Great video! I bought a Brother 1034D at a garage sale a few months ago. The woman who owned it said she had only used it one time and decided it wasn't for her. It was in the original box with all the parts plus 4 spools of cone thread. I paid $40. Couldn't believe what a bargain I got!

Woah, that was a great deal! 🤯

You are hands down the absolute best sewing machine reviewer around. I like how you have an opinion so you’re speaking from the heart. Most importantly you demo the machine at work. Huge production value! Thank you for making the videos

Thank you 💕

@darlatidwell6255 Год назад

I don't have a server yet, but if I were to get one I would choose the 1034 D. It has more metal parts, and more accessibility to the thread ports, etc. and those two attributes 'strength and accessibility' are always the best way to go imo. And thank you Angelina. That was a big help to someone who is without a serger still, and may be shopping for one.🙌

@alexandriabradberry4623 Год назад

I was looking at this serger but then saw the 1034DX, then google recommended your video to me. I watched all the way through and thank you for all of the wonderful information. You sold me on a 1034D. Totally going to check out your threading video when I get in the mail.

Thank you for this video. I’ve been researching sergers for over 6 months now. Mine is in need of replacing. My sister has the Brother 1034D and really likes it. I’m looking at it also and your video really helps narrow the field. Definitely not looking at the DX!

@GreyRose333 8 месяцев назад

Wow! I'm so glad I saw your review because I always thought that the 1034DX was the upgrade and was going to buy it. I bought my 1034D after watching your review 3 years ago and am very happy with it. Now, no need to get to DX. Thank you!!

I've been leaning toward the 1034D. You pretty much clench the deal. Thanks for your videos on all these sergers!

After watching several videos you have done. I had a gift card to spend and just ordered the 1034D. Can't wait to get it. I have an old fossil, it is a 30 year old Simplicity. It was gifted to me. It still works and I use it, but it is time to upgrade. Thanks for your suggestions and comparisons.

Thank you so much for your review! I was comparing these two, and I ordered the 1034D from amazon, but then I saw the DX on the walmart website and I wondered if I should return the first one. Now I feel a lot better. This will be my first serger and I am EXCITED!!

@zinaw.9768 Год назад

Thanks for the comparison between the 1034D and the 1034DX. The 1034D appears to be the much better serger and that is the one I already own! Great to know I the difference. Thanks again for this video and all your other very informative videos.

@sewterie Год назад

Thanks. I have the 1034D and love it. No plans to bump it up but I do appreciate the review.

@kogabear1 11 месяцев назад

Nice video. I’ve had the 1040D for about 20 years I remember paying $65 new. I use it all the time and I do like the smaller free arm as I make a lot of shirts. I have removed the plastic covers and oiled a couple spots and I’ve replaced the knives twice so it gets plenty of use. I’ve had it for so long that threading it has become as easy as threading a regular sewing machine. I’ve thought about replacing it but until it melts down I’ll keep it. I sew with vintage Singers and since the Brother Serger has served me so well if I were to get a modern machine I’d consider buying a Brother. Happy Sewing.

@kogabear1 11 месяцев назад

Sorry I ment 1034D

@kenyajames1931 Год назад

Thank you for sharing the comparisons test. The 1034D is a better option for me. Never use a serger before, but I am excited to use one now.

@MyraNagy Год назад

I love that you showed us the comparison. I have this cheap singer stylist serger and I only use it for one layer heavy fabrics and knit fabrics. I will upgrade soon.😁

@pastda3 10 месяцев назад

Your video helped me to pull the trigger and purchase the 1034D. I don't need bells and whistles. All I want is a heavy-duty inexpensive machine. I have a 32-year-old serger and felt it was time for a replacement. Good video. Thank you.

Thank you for this comparison review! 👍🏽❤️💯 I think the Brother1034D serger is better than the 1034DX. I've seen 1034D on sale at Walmart for $199.99 - 216.99 and the customer reviews were 4.5 to 5 stars. I'm saving my coins to purchase the Brother 1034D.

@jogalbreath5216 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for the comparison video! I own the 1034DX. There should be a way to keep the timing of the machine working on your own. Sending it to authorized repair takes 3-4 weeks turnaround!!! I wasn't able to find the 1034D model when I was shopping for a serger. I'm determined to keep using this 1034DX model.

@janakay7641 5 месяцев назад

The smaller free arm on 1034D is key! That made the difference for me. Thank you for this review!

@daxxydog5777 Год назад

Very informative video! I’m so glad I bought my serger 25 years ago when they still had more metal parts. She still sews great. You’re lucky if you get 5 years out of a modern machine. I bought an all metal 1960 Singer Rocketeer when my computerized machine died. It does all I need to do.

@MissTiffanyGalore Год назад

I love to hear you teach and share information ❤ Speaking of threading, have you used the Brother Airflow 3000 Serger? I think it’s the easiest serger to thread but it’s 4-5 times price of 1034d.

I've got the dx and am very happy with it. Mine does not shake like that. If I were sewing professionally I'd probably have bought a more expensive machine. Thanks for the review.

@earthangel8875 7 месяцев назад

Thank you for your video/s I am a new subber. I am a male who is doing research on a Serger for my wife for Christmas 2023. I viewed your first video with the Brother, Singer and Juki. I have heard of these brands but Juki was the one I thought I would buy, but I didn't. I chose the Brother 1034D because of your well-informed videos. 11-24-2023 My shopping is finished. Thank you for your videos helping this clueless man. I knew nothing about Serger's but as of today, I know a little more. I know wifey will be happy. She is a really good seamstress (hobby). I think it's amazing what you ladies and gents do in sewing. It's a dying art and a true talent for those who know how. Your videos are informative, fun and you have good editing skillz. I will be showing Wifey your channel as soon she opens her gift/s. As for me, I don't know how to sew except by hand using a needle and thread. I think it may be fun to learn someday. I'm into using leather and making jewelry. Angel from The Bay Area/Silicon Valley CA USA

@lynnebizlyne436 9 месяцев назад

Another great video. It’s really sad how much plastic has come into play in machines making them less realizable and more prone to breaking down. Metal is still best even if it costs more it’ll save on frustrations and down time. Thank you for sharing 👍

@roshandachark7820 Год назад

I have the brother 1034 DX machine and I really do not like it. I have had to get it repaired at least three times. I am glad you did the comparison video between the two. I was cringing the entire time especially when you were doing the layers on the DX because I know it is a very jumpy machine and can't take much. I do own an industrial serger so I should not need to purchase another serger, but if I do have to, it would definitely go for the 1034 D. Thanks for the video :)

@Froglynn33 Год назад

A little while ago I was choosing between these two machines and I didn't have your review to go by. Other than price difference I noticed that one machine was heavier and immediately I thought yeah that's what they did they replaced some metal parts with plastic and may went thinner or cheaper on some of the plastic. So many companies are always looking for ways to cut costs. In today's world I expect a machine that is of same or greater quality to cost more and if it doesn't I worry that the product line isn't going the direction I want. So I bought the 1034D, but was very interested in your side by side comparison.

@tracieandthemachine Год назад

@knittykatstudio Год назад

I'm happy with my 1034D. I bought it for $25 at Goodwill. It did not have the instruction manual or extra parts with it, but I could replace what I needed. I love my Brother machines, but it looks like the 1034DX is a bit jumpy and that would really bother me. Thank you for making this comparison video 😊

@BlueprintDIY Год назад

@knittykatstudio Год назад

@@BlueprintDIY you would be surprised at some of the machines you can find! I think all of them have worked, with the exception of the little Janome Platinum Gem I found. I need to see what's going on with that one...lol. I do find lot's of Brother machines, which are my favorite😉

I only have the 1034DX and I find that the tail is always loose but I also don't have another serger to compare it with. I got mine for 249 and for as a newer sewist it does what I need it to do.

@creativitybycarilyn6634 2 месяца назад

I would pay the extra money. The metal pressure foot adjustment part alone would influence me on that. The jumping and less capability of layers would also be a big factor. Great video!

@msandrews7348 10 дней назад

I need an upgrade and my choice is 1034D!👍🏽

@ElisaLopez015 8 месяцев назад

so glad I researched the 1034DX before I bought from FB market for $80. It seems like a decent serger but does not operate as smoothly as the original 1034D.

@carolynalison4997 11 месяцев назад

I have the 1634d. I have no idea how old it is. I bought it off Facebook market place. I think it was not used very much, but it sews like a champ and weighs a ton. I do wish it had the blind stitch foot. I came with the ruffler and standard feet. On the Dx model you worked with seemed to jump around a bit compared to the d.

@Soniamceachnie Год назад

I've had a Brother 3034D for 9yrs and I swear it looks and is threaded just like the 10304DX, I've encountered all the same issues and more but I've just learnt to work with it.

Can I thread the 1034DX by cutting the threads above and tying the ne thread and have it the serger feed it through?? I bought it an took it home and now I am all nervous about getting started (silly me). Thank you for all your videos they are sooo helpful!! I love your direct, no nosense approach while keeping it elegant. You are very good at this

@TheFashionWHT Год назад

@glitzyeyezz5252 7 месяцев назад

Brother site says 1034D is being discontinued 😢 would love to see any other recommendations for an intermediate sewist and a newbie to serger.

@scpatl4now 9 месяцев назад

I have the DX, but it is the only one I have ever used. I have found that you have to play with the tension somewhat to get the best results, but I would assume that goes for any serger. You having 10 years experience on the D means you probably know it inside and out. My thought is that there really isn't an across the board settings standard and each model of machine is going to be a little different. I can say the DX is a beast to thread, but once you have done it a couple of times it isn't that hard...and the 4,3,2,1 is a lot easier to remember. I also do not find that my DX is "jumpy". It stays put for me

@lyndawilliams4570 8 месяцев назад

At last - someone with something good to say about the dx. It’s what I can afford so I’m hoping to have good results with it. I’m a home sewist - self taught from you tube during the pandemic- I’m not sewing for a fancy boutique but I’d like my serged edges to look nice 👍🏽

@snarkycard 9 месяцев назад

I bought a Brother 1034D and used it about four times. It came pre threaded and I knew as soon as the thread ran out I would never in a million years figure out how to put my own thread in. Plus, it cut the fabric as I was sewing and I didn't know if it was supposed to do that. I was freaking out. Plus, the needles, how to change those? Ugh! I stuck it back in the box and it's hiding in the back of my closet where it can do no harm. I was so disappointed because I really wanted to learn to serge and upcycle clothes but it was just too overwhelming.

I purchased the 1034dx. I also have the new Bernina890 and the older Baby Lock Ovation. I got the 1034 dx just to keep white thread on it. It’s okay, but I’ve noticed that after about 4 uses I have to rethread it as the threads get too loose.

@BlueprintDIY Год назад

I was just looking at the 890 last night, drooling over it really. 🤭 One day

@lynnleipold2617 Год назад

@@BlueprintDIY It is the best serger out there. Truly a smooth operator. But if you have a separate cover stitch machine, then I think the L850 is a wonderful overlocker
