As with every product, here is a honest review: Upgraded from 1034DX to the airflow. Huge regret. Its 3x the price with not so amazing features. The lower left "vacuum" broke after 1 month of use. Paying extra $ to get that fixed with only few weeks of use. I know by heart that the design intended well but perform poorly. If the lower threads vacuum stop working, there is no work around to manually thread. You will be stuck, spending $ to fix a poorly design feature. Selling my machine asap, since my shop wont accept returns.
Wow, that's awful. I don't deal with service requests or anything, but is there some kind of manufacturer warranty? I'm sure you looked into stuff, but I'm curious anyway.
I like having manual dials since different fabrics don't always work with auto tension. Then again I've never used an overlock machine that had intuitive auto tension, so I really can't say.
@@TockCustom Thats what I was thinking. Thats a nice machine, I'm someone who has bought a top babylock with auto tension to counteract my bad skills. hahahaha.
Wow, now I really want this serger! As a beginner in overlockers, I bought the Brother m343d model which is fine, but it makes a little too much noise for my liking. Also, it doesn’t have a trim trap, needle threader and all these amazing features this beauty has. This will surely be my next serger! I just love how easy to work with and quiet it is!
I didn't realize how crazy helpful all these features are, Sooooo thankful I get to use this from now on. Hope you're able to get one soon, happy crafting!
Great Video! I am in the market for a Serger and this one looks great. I liked the way you took your time explaining each step. I am definitely putting this at the top of my list. Thank you for your great demo.
I can't wait to get this machine. I have the 1034D and I've been so happy with it. Brother makes awesome machines. I tie on different colored threads so I'm not rethreading each time with new colors, but the air tech is so incredible. You can't go wrong with Brother. I used the Brother 6000 sewing machine for 8 YEARS before I upgraded to a Babylock [similar tech as Brother, maybe owned by Brother?]. Happy to see a Brother air serger! Thanks for a great review! Loved the explanation at the end about all the knobs. 😋
Before you put the thread in the air hole, pull it to about your knee, then thread it through. It needs slack. Also, some threads won’t go through because they are too light. This is how my BabyLock machine works.
Sergers are amazing machines! Great job unboxing and demoing this new serger. Brother machines are awesome and I have no doubt that this new serger will be as well. Thanks for sharing!
It's so fast! Also, is there a good way to fix an overlocked edge if one of the stitches breaks? It always seems like once one thread pulls, it's only a matter of time before the whole edge goes. I love the equipment walkthroughs, but I'd also love to see a video on how to tell when it is going to be easier to break out a needle and thread than it will be to break out the machinery.
Thank you for this video. How I would love an Airflow- it would save a lot of frustration. Love the way you casually mentioned “a dress I made for Disney”. Respect!!
Yeah I kind of forgot to 'review' how the machine feels lol. It's quieter and faster than my 1034D, and it doesn't have that pedal lag that other machines have. Super happy with it!
Both Babylock & Brother are made by Tacony so it was bound to happen. I own the Babylock Imagine Serger and I purchased it specifically for the air threading feature. It was worth the price of admission!

Just wondering if you would prefer it had auto tension.

Now instead of 3000 steps, it’s only 30 steps Noice 👍
Exactly! Huge sewing boost :D Thanks for watching!

have you tried tying the new thread to the old one and then pulling through?
Before you put the thread in the air hole, pull it to about your knee, then thread it through. It needs slack. Also, some threads won’t go through because they are too light.
This is how my BabyLock machine works.
Thank you for sharing the threading process of the Serger. My late mom had a Serger. I never understood why there was more than one thread spool.
You're very welcome! Sergers are obviously a very specific type of machine, but if you need one you're probably already selling products :)
Sergers are amazing machines! Great job unboxing and demoing this new serger. Brother machines are awesome and I have no doubt that this new serger will be as well. Thanks for sharing!
Hey. Good to see you again. I've been looking for a new serger, and after your demo, this one's gone to the top of my list!!! Thanks!!
I have a serger from the early '80s. Sews well but threading? Jesus, take the wheel!
Thanks for sharing.
Thank YOU for watching :)
Sewing Machine Jesus! Welcome Back!!
I love it when companies copy other companies.
When companies compete, the consumer always wins!
Well that's a cool little machine!
Yeah!! Also thank you Mr Dapper! Hope you're doing fantastic
thank you very much for this video, it's very clear. I had some trouble, your help was perfect. Groetjes uit Belgium 🙂
Excellent, thanks for watching! Hope life is good on your side of the ocean :)
@@TockCustom hello :-), life is good but the weather is less good. Have a nice day! Looking forward to next video's :-)
It's so fast!

Actually yes, you just have to rethread the machine and then you can overlock over the botched seam and it will just cover any bad looking areas :)
@@TockCustom Thanks!
Thank you for this video. How I would love an Airflow- it would save a lot of frustration. Love the way you casually mentioned “a dress I made for Disney”. Respect!!
I have a juki 654 de, I don't mind threading the inside of the machine, but I hate threading the needles. It is a good machine however.
HEY!! So glad to see you again! I struggle with my current serger ... this looks amazing!
Omg I need this machine is amazing so easy to thread I will be saving for this machine. Thank u for an awesome review ❤️❤️
That machine is sweet! I love my 1034D but the threading is not so fun.
This was so super helpful and easy to follow along. Awesome video!!!!
I love the needle threader!!!
Meeeeee too, this machine is so smooth!
can you use regular thread instead serger thread?
that is quite interesting. it will take a lot of the hassle out of using that style of machine.
That sounds really quiet
Yeah I kind of forgot to 'review' how the machine feels lol. It's quieter and faster than my 1034D, and it doesn't have that pedal lag that other machines have. Super happy with it!
@@TockCustom nice thank you for the review!!!
And purchased lol

Not quite. Brother makes BabyLock sewing machines for them. Brother is it's own company.
Tacony doesn't manufacture machines on it's own.
Great to see you back❤
fancy!
😍🤩😀 I got one!!!
Sweeeet 😍
does anybody know the difference between a serger and an overlock?
There is no difference, both the same thing - in UK it's an overlocker and in USA it's called a serger.
Miss your videos I hope you have been doing great. Awesome video 🫶🏾lmao make sure they send you a coverstitch too 😂❤️
