Brother 1034D serger
PROS: First this is a sewing machine and a serger two in one. Quality is above average, simplicity to get in to sewing from "never used" to "feel comfortable" after watching videos provided on CDs are great and took a day. Good options like I liked and use only 2 or 2 out of 22 provided can't claim I used all of them.
Nice look and design. Comes with conveniently embedded all you need to start stitching out of the box, well just buy your set of threads. Nicely colored symbols for each thread, but should of put like sequence numbers for threading and textual labels alone with pictures. All that probably needed for beginners who is I am.
Reliability is great, just don't pull what you serging and if you bend or break needle have spare #14 to replace. The only issue faced was one of the threads wrapped around the thread bobbin holder caused high tension, but if used a correct size thread bobbins and install as manual suggests shouldn't be an issue.
CONS: plastic gets yellow after some time and it was white, now ugly yellow outside and nice and white inside. Grey would do better job.
Another one is flimsy telescopic thread guide stand could have better quality upper portion.
Bottom is made of plastic oppose to other Jenome steel made, gives extra stability
Belt got lose after not serious use of the machine.
All above cons are more like all details noticed and doesn't mean significant to a degree on decision to buy.
Generally we like the machine a lot, cute design but I wouldn't call it a workhorse. To conclude it's great for home use.
