Review by Diane Z
Love this machine, it has to be my best buy of 2014 even though its only April. It arrived quickly and was told when it would come so I did not have to wait in all day. The machine does come already threaded which is brilliant but I accidental pulled the threads and had to re thread it before I had had a chance to play. I was a bit nervous to be threading the machine so soon but the DVD was very helpful and the job was soon done. On the day my overlocker arrived I managed to make pyjama bottoms for my daughter and a fleece top for my husband. I haven't stopped, its amazing, my garments look more professional and making clothes is so much quicker. I haven't used the extra feet yet but I have used a variety of fabrics including stretch knits and the results are always great. I never thought I would be able to have an overlocker but at this price its very affordable and well worth it.

This is my first overlocker even though I have thought of buying one for several months. I read some great reviews for this machine and they were all right! Fantastic machine very easy to use, even for a novice like me. It came un threaded as soon as I started using it and I must admit I did panic but once I had calmed down (and logged on to You Tube!) it was very easy and nothing like as scary as I had imagined. Very fast delivery received within 48 hours of order being placed. I would definitely recommend this machine.

Review by Cardoon S
Thrilled with the unexpected next day, free, delivery. My first overlocker and I was a tad nervous after reading about how tricky threading lower loopers can be. I need not have been, it was easy (-ish) to thread and I had made a cover for it within 30 mins of taking it out of the box. I really like the instant stitch reference guide on the front of the machine and the cutting blade position window. 3 cushion covers later, the lower looper thread constantly snapped. After much re-threading (I am expert at this now), I noticed that the tension of the lower looper thread was in-consistent. It varied from loose to very tight as I pulled it through. Consulted the manual, tried everything then noriced that the thread was catching on itself as it came off the back of the reel. What had happened? The thread stand pole had been pushed down by only an inch and as soon as I pulled it up, all my troubles were over. I mention this because the manual says nothing about it causing tension problems and it may be something that is not apparent at first glance. Wish I'd thought of it before all those re-threading lessons! So far, I really like this machine but have only used the 4 thread safety stitch that it came set up to do. BTW, I contacted Duke at Sewing Machine Sales and he was extremely helpful. Would buy from them again.

Transaction without problems, fast shipping. The Brother 1034d is easy to use for an absolute Overlock-beginner. I am happy that I have purchased this model. The machine is well-equipped. User manual is easy to understand. Threading the machine is easy thanks to good description and colour coded threading points. Several users critizise running noise. It is louder than my Pfaff, but well acceptable.
