I know this now over 3 years ago. Gawd I loved your motherly tips/advise on this new toy I got me today. You came across so genuine that I kept watching you til the credits came on. STALKER! nOT!!! but anyways, THANK YOU so much for your video. I truly learned from you. God Bless You.
You are amazing. I bought a serger to make masks, but I didn't really know much about it. The machine came all ready threaded, so of course when it stopped sewing, I was really frustrated. I came across your video and you explained everything so clearly. My lower looper was not threaded properly because no one had ever showed that it goes behind the little block. That made the difference and I was able to complete all of my masks. Also, showing where the upper looper arm should be between the needles when starting out was great. I have subscribed to you channel and I will continue to refer to your channel for any questions I have. Thank you so much
SO VERY HAPPY I RAN ACROSS YOUR VIDEO!!!! I bought myself a Brother 1034D Serger for my birthday and have been intimidated by it. Last weekend, I resigned myself to watch all the Brother Serger videos on UA-cam that I could find. Finally got the courage today, and just found your video, which is FANTASTIC for me because it appears you have the same Brother Serger model that I have. So, while watching your video for the 2nd time, I paused through it while sewing on my first project (pj bottoms). LOVE THE MACHINE!!! (Bought mine on Amazon.) Thanks so much for posting your tutorial and I look forward to watching your other serger tutorials!
best how to use video I found. Thank you so much. I wish I had all the time back that I spent watching videos that told me nothing about how ti use the features. This one did the trick.
OH WOW! Thank you! I think you sold me on getting a serger. JoAnn has a sale on a later model Brother serger. I will look around at new and used options. I love my regular Brother sewing machine that I have had for years. I might stay with Brother. And thank you for all of your tips.
My repairman showed me a trick (and why it comes with those threads in it). You just cut off the existing thread at the spool and tie a knot to the new color and put that on the spool. Then just gently wind the thread through the machine till the new color is all the way through to where you need it. The little knot joining the two colours will easily go through all the knobs and holes till you get to the needle and then you just cut it off and re-thread the needles.
Yes it works all the time, thats the way i thread with tying the threads then letting the other colour/s follow, rather than re-threading from the start
Once my machine arrives, I’m going to practice, practice, practice, before advancing to actually using the serger on a project. Thanks to your great video, it should be smooth sailing to learn the basics. As it happens, your video popped up today, and thankfully it’s about the serger I purchased! Can’t wait to get started! Thx for sharing your wisdom about setting up and using a 1034 brother serger.
It IS intimidating. I got mine yesterday. So, of course, as life likes to do to me by ensuring I learn everything the HARD way, right out of the gate, I encountered an issue with a jam one test piece in. I had to learn how to rethread the entire thing. But this is how I learned to sew too (just a couple of months ago). Trial by fire. I'm pleased I'm not the only one who was utterly overwhelmed with it when I first pulled the overlock machine from the box. Following a rage-rethreading post-jam, I literally yelled out like some savage warrioress after the slaughter. Like, "Yeah, bring it!" running the machine and seeing I had done it successfully. Yeah, screw that. I wouldn't spend extra to have two of anything in order to avoid overcoming the intimidation factor of rethreading. I just sucked it up out of necessity and did it. Now I know, and I know I can do it again. Though I can understand why some would go out of their way to avoid it. I appreciate the video. It was very helpful.
Hey Megan, are you still liking your Serger? I’m also trial by fire, buying a sewing machine and Serger maybe? Or would the Serger be best alone first since I’m going to start by doing scarves and easier things for awhile? I’m thinking maybe just buy the serger?
@@hollyh7924 I have both, love both. Sure, again, it is hard learning to use this sort of equipment and getting a handle on the upkeep/maintenance as well as proper use. There is a sense of satisfaction once you've learned how to keep your overlock and sewing machine operating, even after a few jams. I would start with a sewing machine THEN get a serger if you want your finished products to have a more finished professional seam. Having said that, there are countless helpful YT videos out there, showing you how to get pretty good results with just the sewing machine. I got the overlock on a whim and I don't regret either. Best of luck!
You are so right!!! I've had mine for about a month because it looks so intimidating. Im already captivated within 2 minutes of your vid. You're amazing!!
Oh my!! Thank you so much for this video. I have this same serger and my threads broke his afternoon. I never used it and apparently the thread was threaded through but were hooked on the spindle so everything snapped. I rethreaded it thanks to your help! I feel like i should celebrate. 😁 thanks again!!
Excellent video! Thank you for taking the time to make it. I have this same serger - it’s my 2nd serger. I wore out a Bernette to the point of a dealer not being able to get parts for it. This Brother is so much easier & a very hard working machine.
Usage of words is very powerful. I have watched several with condescending approach just is not encouraging. Using words i.e., complicated, etc. already makes one dread. Thanks for being down to earth and explaining simply. Thanks for sharing!
I found your video very helpful, I purchased a serger at the beginning of April 2020 and after I took it out the box, I thought oh my god I am not going to able to use this......but now I will try to use it...Thanks for your video
I just bought a similar model (1034DX) and was so happy to see this video. I was almost convinced I had to buy cone adapters to prevent the spools from jiggling while in use. I'm glad to see the Sure-Lock cones don't do that. Whew! One less thing to buy for now.
I just received my brother 1034Dx model. I seen the lower loopers come out right away from the factory threading. I totally freaked out. This video is so true and helpful.
I have two of these sergers but it’s not because I don’t know how to thread them! I have one with black thread and one with white thread so that I don’t have to get bogged down with having to thread when I’m working on a project! I got both of mine dirt cheap, one was $30 and the other was $12! I bought them from people who were frustrated and didn’t know how to use them!
Thank you. Getting back into sewing after many years absence. Thinking about buying the same serger. Appreciate all the instructions and advice. Have bookmarked for future reference.
Regarding threading a serger . . .if you can, start saving up money every month and buy a Baby Lock. Specifically, a model that has the forced air, automatic threading button. Sewing is such a source of joy and a great outlet for endless creativity, dread should not be part of the equation! My first serger was the type that I had to do what everyone knows, connecting new spools of thread by individually tying the ends together and praying that it wouldn’t come undone! I traded that machine in, at a quilting store, on a used serger that does the threading for me, at the touch of a button. You can only appreciate how wonderful that is, if you have the kind that most people probably start with. Dread is no longer a word that comes to mind, related to my serger. They are ridiculously expensive, I know! But trust me, even if you can only afford to save a small amount of money, eventually you’ll have enough and when you bring the Baby Lock home, it will eliminate the awful dread every time you start a new project. Modern technology incorporates features into machines, according to what people who sew like and dislike. Hence a button that takes all of the frustration out!
Hi ...Wow enormous Thank You for this video, I have acquired the over locker from a friend and you have just taught me so much about the basics. Great Video and tutorial. xx
Hi Alicia, It would be great if you could show us how to sew a pair of Jeans, or even little Jeans on the serger. Thanks!!!!! Could you also talk about the size Needles you use for your projects!
Hello thank you for the video it was so helpful. I was totally lost with the surger but I feel very comfortable now. My little pedal came off under the needles and I wasn’t sure how it came off but for some reason I got it back on could you tell me what happened.
Bought 1 of this recently ... but its really easy to thread...had some problems getting it to start back the chain stitch, but the secret to dat is start threading from the lower louper 1st...only thing i dont like abt this serger is dat theres only one screw for both needles... other dan dat its ah great serger...
Do we have to use those big cone of thread? I have small spools, with 1200 yards on each. My hubby bought me a serger for Christmas. It arrived today, but i am terrified to even open the box! watching your video now, to hopefully get some idea as to what to do with it, once I do open it up, Christmas morning!
I don't know how to thank you ,I was made and I gave up to use my new over lack because I was have hard time to threading the first one on the right .you awesome woman my stress it was killing me thanks million
great video I learned allot . Im a 50? year old single man and im trying to get into fashion design for women I want to make dance wear skirts and leggings,. I just took off the left needle i wand as narow of a seam as posible my guess to sew 2 pieces of fabric i need to turn off the knife ? just tried it and it worked. right now im machine washing some cheap satin i edged so it wouldnt fall appart. any difference between the 16354 and the 1034?
I just received my serger and thought I would by pass learning to thread by tying knot. Well it got all fuzzy and broke. Now I’m wondering if the thread was old and ,of course, will need to watch how to retread. Please type of thread would be best on the 1034D.
I am having a problem with the lower looper slide. The thread slides all the way into the arm part instead of staying in that little box area. I think this is making the thread snap. Is this supposed to happen? If not how can I fix this? I have pics if you need to see what I'm talking about. Thank you for any help.
Thank you for the video very very helpful❣Purchased this machine at my local Angelview (it's like a Goodwill) for $40. I think I won my version of the lottery 🎉
Hi! I just now found your video because I bought a serger and was completely intimidated!! Thank you for such a great demonstration on how to thread. I do have a question: I plan on working with 20% Nylon 80 spandex (or around that) to make swimwear, can you suggest my tension setting? I am mortified I am going to mess up if I keep it on 4/4/4/4 or that I just won’t know what the stitch needs to look like when it’s correct. Thank you!
Thank you! I can't find an answer to my question in my manual or on line, perhaps you/or someone here can help? I'm a newbie to sergers and want to know if I need to get stretch tread when working with knits? What brands of thread do you recommend?
I've never sown anything or owned any sewing machine. I need to hem my t-shirts (knits) and a few denims. Is serger the best option? Thank you in advance.
The hem that you see in t-shirts and other stretchy items is called a “cover stitch”. I have this same model serger and wanted to do the same thing (hem t-shirts, etc.) and figured out that it just wouldn’t do it so I ended up buying the Brother 2340CV.
Hola no hablo inglés, pero me gustaría que me ayudarás con un problema que tengo con mi máquina, cada vez qe bajan la agujas y jalan el hilo de abajo truena no cose. Que querés que sea?
Saludos. Puede ser hilo esta enredado en la piezas o algun pedacito del hilo ya que aveces el hilo se puede desilar mas si no es de marca buena. La aguja que usa puede ser que este doblada o defectuosa verifique que este usando una aguja autentica y la apropiada para su maquina. Y muchas de estas maquinas necesitan aceite. Si no logra resolver el problema. LLame a la compania para que le pueda ayudar en espanol. Busque aqui en el internet la compania y ellos podran darle la solucion mas facil para resolver su problema.

If you prewash your fabric, a serger is great for overcasting the edges to avoid raveling. Sergers sew a lot more stitches per inch so they’re a lot faster too. And the cone thread is much cheaper than spools. If you want to remove the stitches after drying your fabric, just pull out the needle threads & the other threads fall off. You can also make an entire quilt with your serger, which is especially nice if you’re having trouble with raveling fabric. I also make a lot of fleece baby blankets ( 1 2/3 yds each) and full sized blankets for adults (2 1/2 - 3 yds depending on height) After serging all the way around - I cut rounded corners with a rotary cutter & a saucer or small bowl first - I turn the knife off & overlap about a half inch then with the needles & presser foot up, I reposition the fabric, lower the presser foot, & then stitch off at a right angle so there aren’t any loops at the edge. I then pull out the 2 needle threads - they will most likely be the 2 threads in the center of the chain. Then I knot all 4 - 2 in each side of the knot - & thread the tails through the stitches, burying them in the fleece. This Brother serger is a real work horse. I’ve probably made close to 1,000 fleece blankets & serged many yards of quilt fabric & just recently had it serviced for the 1st time - just because I’d used it so long. Never could do without it long enough earlier. 😁 If you get this serger, you’ll be wondering how you managed without it. You can probably find it on HSN or Amazon if you don’t find a super deal on eBay or at an estate sale or Craig’s List. Good luck!
You should have tied your new threads on spools to the threads already threaded in the machine and then machined it through and then cut off the original threads. This would have left all the four new threads threaded in the machine, ready to sew.
You might want to try retreading, starting with the top looper. I’m not sure why the order makes such a difference, but it does. Also, be sure the threads are down in the tension disks. Good luck!

Annette Smith Genius idea!
Annette Smith would this not damage the machine? Especially the air jet ones ?
That sounds confusing.
UA-cam channel 'so sew easy' has a tutorial on how to do it that way. I've seen this method done by sewists in a factory i worked in many years ago.
Yes it works all the time, thats the way i thread with tying the threads then letting the other colour/s follow, rather than re-threading from the start

The lettuce roll hem is my favorite.
You can use a small crochet hook and pull the thread through to secure them or buy the looper threader and use it.
Just bought this machine watched alot of videos before I bought found your very helpfull

Explain please how to change the serger foot please thank you good way to teach ❤️🇬🇧💕
I just bought one then accidently cut one thread oh boy so now I have to jump in and learn. Necchi s34 scared stiff!
Oh my, I just bought a Babylock vibrant serger,I realized watching You , it's even more scary than I thought and will probably not be able to use it.
My Grandma left me her serger when she died and also a quilter machine
Those are treasures I hope you keep them
You should have a flashlight. Is the thread polyester? This is for the Jan 31, 2018 how to use the serger. How to use without the cutter?
In Australia its called an overlocker
This was very helpful! Thank you!
Lol my kids love zootopia. I hear it in the background 🤣😁

question in my manual or on line, perhaps you/or someone here can help?
I'm a newbie to sergers and want to know if I need to get stretch
tread when working with knits? What brands of thread do you recommend?
You do not need to use stretch thread. I use the cones of thread from JOANN and they work great.
How do you do it with three needles?

The DC is the best at threading
Sorry l ment to say the dx model is so much easier .
it is very nice
Thank you!👍❤
Is this an embroidery machine?
No. It's a serger
My QUESTION is ,, would a quilter really need a machine like this? Thanks!
If you only do quilting then you probably don't need a serger. It comes in pretty handy for all other kinds of sewing though.
If you prewash your fabric, a serger is great for overcasting the edges to avoid raveling. Sergers sew a lot more stitches per inch so they’re a lot faster too. And the cone thread is much cheaper than spools.
If you want to remove the stitches after drying your fabric, just pull out the needle threads & the other threads fall off.
You can also make an entire quilt with your serger, which is especially nice if you’re having trouble with raveling fabric.
I also make a lot of fleece baby blankets ( 1 2/3 yds each) and full sized blankets for adults (2 1/2 - 3 yds depending on height) After serging all the way around - I cut rounded corners with a rotary cutter & a saucer or small bowl first - I turn the knife off & overlap about a half inch then with the needles & presser foot up, I reposition the fabric, lower the presser foot, & then stitch off at a right angle so there aren’t any loops at the edge. I then pull out the 2 needle threads - they will most likely be the 2 threads in the center of the chain. Then I knot all 4 - 2 in each side of the knot - & thread the tails through the stitches, burying them in the fleece.
This Brother serger is a real work horse. I’ve probably made close to 1,000 fleece blankets & serged many yards of quilt fabric & just recently had it serviced for the 1st time - just because I’d used it so long. Never could do without it long enough earlier. 😁
If you get this serger, you’ll be wondering how you managed without it. You can probably find it on HSN or Amazon if you don’t find a super deal on eBay or at an estate sale or Craig’s List. Good luck!
You should have tied your new threads on spools to the threads already threaded in the machine and then machined it through and then cut off the original threads. This would have left all the four new threads threaded in the machine, ready to sew.
Mine is threaded correctly. But will not make a chain. 😪
You might want to try retreading, starting with the top looper. I’m not sure why the order makes such a difference, but it does. Also, be sure the threads are down in the tension disks. Good luck!
Does this model coverstitch?
No
thank you I was ready to throw my serger our
Mine came with spools but they were all tangled up so I just cut them off.
NO. those threads are there for you to tie the new thread to. Then you just pull the new threads through the machine with the presser foot up.
Picture of the serger
i followed the directions but i can't chain off, it just bunches up! =(
nvm .. you have to make sure all the threads are under the foot lol -- works, thanks for the tutorial.
Lol ya that’s me I mess a lot up lol
I have an old baby lock
THANK YOU for your video, perhaps cut down on the use on the use of the word "um:".
Just an observation it did not cut very well, I think your upper knife is blunt
