Brother 1034D Serger
The 1034D is a 3/4 thread overlock serger with differential feed, which is what keeps knits from stretching and lightweight wovens from ruffling as they feed. It switches between 3-thread and 4-thread overlock, narrow hem, rolled hem and ribbon lock stitches, covering seam finishing on garments through to napkins and scarves.

Color-coded threading
Lay-in tension threading uses no eyelets, so the thread drops into place rather than being fed through a series of holes. The lower looper is self-threading behind a single door, which removes the step most people find fiddly on a serger. Two-point tension control adjusts each needle separately.

1,300 stitches per minute with differential feed
Stitch width adjusts from 3.0 to 7.0 mm, and the overlock seam runs 5.0 to 7.0 mm wide. Differential feed is the control that prevents puckering on knits and ruffling on light wovens, and the free arm makes cuffs and sleeves manageable. A retractable knife guard protects fabric you do not want trimmed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Brother 1034D a 3-thread or a 4-thread serger?
Both. The 1034D switches between 3-thread and 4-thread overlock, plus narrow hem, rolled hem and ribbon lock stitches. Differential feed helps prevent puckering on knits and ruffling on lightweight wovens.
Which presser feet come with the 1034D?
Three feet ship in the box: the standard foot, blindstitch foot and gathering foot. An accessory bag is also included with a needle set, four thread nets, four spool caps, tweezers, a cleaning brush and a hexagonal driver.
How fast does the 1034D sew, and how wide is the stitch?
It runs up to 1,300 stitches per minute, with stitch width adjustable from 3.0 mm to 7.0 mm and an overlock seam width of 5.0 mm to 7.0 mm. Each needle tension adjusts independently to suit different fabric weights.
Is the 1034D difficult to thread?
Less so than most sergers. The threading path is color coded and uses lay-in tension with no eyelets, and the lower looper is self-threading behind one door. A printed manual in English and Spanish is in the box, and Quality Sewing offers a free training class for it.
What warranty comes with the Brother 1034D?
Brother covers sergers under a 1/5/25 Year Limited Serger Warranty: 1 year on electronics, 5 years on parts and labor, and 25 years on the chassis casting. Note this differs from Brother's sewing machine warranty. Quality Sewing adds a 1-Year Quality Sewing Warranty.
