Watch this before buying a serger if you sew a lot of layers! This is an in depth comparison of the Brother 1034D, Singer X5004HD, and Juki MO-644D. They are all very good sergers, but one can serge through 6 layers of denim.

I work for a dealer that sells Brother, Juki, and Janome machines and I can tell you that Juki wins hands down for sewing and serging. A little side note though, we repair more of the 1034D and Singer Heavy Duty sewing machines and sergers than any other newer model. The Heavy Duty machines are easy to knock out of time and the Brother 1034 is cheaply made and we've had people break multiple parts of the machine.

I just bought a Singer S0235 ($600 NZD) - it’s a recent release from Singer. I was thinking of buying the Brother 4234D ($750 NZD) and went in to try the demo. The automatic threader wasn’t working very well (which is one of the main reasons I was interested in it) and it was a bit loud / clackity when sewing (although the stitching was beautiful) so I asked if there were any other options. The consultant said she wasn’t a big fan of the heavy duty Singers. But there was a cheaper Singer overlocker that sews beautifully and worth considering. We pulled it out of the box, threaded it (rather easy color coded instructions) and I fell in love. It sews really smoothly with a love stitch and is perfect for my home needs. I was also stoked that it was cheaper than the option I was considering. It’s a gorgeous, dusty Yale blue colour. The instruction booklet is great. Gives you a chart to tell you how to set the tensions depended on what material you’re sewing. We tested it sewing 4-6 layers of calico and it’s a little workhorse. I’m so happy with my purchase. 😍 The Singer S0235 is definitely an option for home sewers and diyers! 🤓

@Transplanted1 Hi ‘ I also have my brother serger 1034d for only 2 years. I did not use it frequently . Recently I found the threads jammed and the fabric was puckered . Therefore I give up to use it. I agree with you they are cheaply made to people to repair themselves , not required specialty tools ! How lucky you are have a handily man . That is wonderful !

I've had my Brother 1034d for 14 years now, had it serviced perhaps 5 times, and changed the blades out once (I think they're due for another change). It just keeps going! It's so easy to thread, so I never use the tie-off shortcut. I can't bring myself to purchase a fancier serger because this one just keeps chugging on! I appreciate you showing the threading on the other machines. I didn't realize others weren't as easy as the Brother!

This was so awesome! I've always been intrigued (and intimidated) by sergers, and have stayed away from trying to sew Spandex or other materials where a serger is pretty much what you need. I have a Singer H-D sewing machine (purchased based on your review, actually), and was hopeful the Singer H-D serger would be as good. But, you've sold me on the Brother. The fact that yours is 5 years and going strong is perhaps the best testament to its quality and also that you still highly recommend it after all that time. I haven't been sewing much lately, so can't justify buying it at the moment, but I'm really impressed with its performance based on your review here. Thank you as always, Angelina, for the great content you create ❤️ ! Your videos always seems to come at the perfect time 😊.

I love your energy and videos. I bought a Brother 1034D about a year ago and it sat under my sewing table. Admittedly I was still learning to sew with a regular sewing machine, but given that I mostly sew men’s clothes (our family of 4 is all guys) I figured I would get into it eventually. But honestly things other people said about serging intimidated me a bit. Then I needed to power through some pyjama builds… so I thought I’d give it a whirl. It was easy to thread, not hard to adjust tensions (and in fact it sewed like butter on the standard tensions), and I LOVE it! So fast, so easy to “steer” fabric, so neat and clean a 4 thread stitch! I’m sold on the Brother 1034D, and your video confirms that I made a good decision! (I started with a Brother CE1000 and have just purchased a Brother ST150HDH, so I am thankful for all your videos!) Now I need a coverstitch machine…. lol

I truly appreciate the work you do when you are comparing the different sewing products that you use. FIRST, you should truly be SPONSORED by BROTHER at least!! 2). The comparisons are unbiased. 3). You are concise and you always make it known it is YOUR opinion and you don't hide the sewing demonstrations. This was very informative and truly appreciated! As a decent sewer, layers are important when say, sewing a tweed or heavy wool coat with interfacing AND lining. I have Brother sewing/serger machines, but I started on Singer machines, one was 30+years old (it has a bullet-shaped bobbin).

@@BlueprintDIY Yes, early sewing machine models have an oval shuttle and bobbin. It's called a vibrating shuttle. It's pretty interesting to learn about sewing machines and how they evolved. i still don't understand exactly how they work.. People who don't sew, can't understand why you do this or that. For instance, i saw the store-bought items with various pieces that were stay-stitched. I didn't understand why would anyone bother to sew through a single layer of fabric... last year i found out why - to stabilize the edge of that garment piece, as stay-stitching is usually done on curves - arm holes, top of the sleeves, necklines...

The problem with it sewing and becoming hung up is what I experienced while sewing satin pillowcases! With almost every pillowcase I felt like the machine might break. I did break a needle and replaced it with a Universal needle and had no more problems. I bought mine thru HSN and it came with several feet. I'm glad I have it and don't see buying a new one any time soon.

I came across your video by accident but love it. Little over a decade ago, I bought Singer serger. That thing wouldn't sew more than an inch on regular weight cotton fabric. Drove me crazy for 2 days and I returned it. Brother was my 2nd option so I got it. I still have and love it and it's been over a decade. I actually got used 2nd Brother serger, Lock 925D which has dark thread on it but honestly it takes me literally less than 2 minutes to thread the whole thing. I think it takes longer to put the thread through the needle eyes lol. There are people suggesting sergers with air threading etc but I prefer to know my machines. I mean it's basic knowledge to know hot to thread your sewing machines. It's like not knowing how to fuel up your car.

Thank you so much for doing such a thorough comparison of these three machines!!! I'm trying to figure out which serger I should buy next. I'm working on a Brother 1134D, which doesn't have a thread-catcher (not a deal breaker for me), but I bought it used and it has its limits. For an example, I cannot sew more than 4 layers of knits (let alone more than 2 layers of thick fleece). It really limits me in my choice of fabric and/or patterns. But most definitely not the Singer Heavy Duty serger as I sew a lot at night and I cannot have the whole house shaking from the machine. Then I constantly change my threads for colour or different quality. So the threading difficulty with the Juki doesn't make it appealing to me. So maybe a brand new Brother 1034D...The search continues!

Thank you for this example. I was iffy about buying the Singer Heavy Duty almost 7 years ago. Now I have watched your demonstration I am upset that I did not trust my feelings of it did not look Heavy Duty. As a sewer, I have my regrets about upgrading.

Thank you for taking the time to compare and share with all of us. I have had and loved a Juki serger. I have never sewn 6 layers of denim but did use for making quilts, drapes, pillows, pillow shams and tons of clothing. Sadly it was lost due to storm damage. I then was gifted a Brother. My love for my Juki will always remain but I have to admit to having a new love. I am able to do everything that I have always done with my new Brother. I have also discovered that it is much easier for certain applications that the Brother is superior. Making ruffles has never been easier!

I have the Juki MO 654D which has a few nicer options than the 644D but I absolutely love it!! I spent $379. It is so quiet and peaceful, I can actually carry on a conversation while using it! I picked the Juki over the Brother because it’s higher quality, and the open threading is easier to clean than the lay in threading. It is a pain to thread the first couple times, but you get used to it. Side note: the 654 has a little lever to pull the lower looper down to thread so you don’t have to reach thru the machine like she mentioned.

Great video. I sew thick things and I have a old huskylock 430 . Consider the older machines with more metal parts if you sew thick things. Threading is a bit harder but you get a sewing machine with less plastic and much cheaper. I bought my 430 for $35. Almost all metal machines as a rule holdup well sewing thick things.

Thanks for the review! I ordered the singer heavy duty on Amazon yesterday and decided to cancel my order and give the brother a try. I had a singer before and it started causing me problems it was very old so I thought I would get a newer version. But after watching your video I decided to get the brother instead to try something different. The singer definitely shakes pretty bad so I agree with that so hopefully I will have better luck with the brother. Seems like a lot of ppl are having great results with brother. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this.

This is a really good comparison video. I actually have a Singer SO230 (sort of the step below the one you showed here) and I actually find that one to be not horrible to thread. Definitely easier than my old EZLock from the 80s. That thing is an absolute nightmare to thread. EDIT: I'm also glad to know that my Singer isn't the only lout one. I was beginning to think that mine had an issue because of how loud it is.

i used to own a lower model Singer that served me well for the first few years of my sewing experience, but post-pandemic and a bunch of mask making reawakened my love for sewing. i ventured into upholstery and made a headboard for our be!! the lower end Singer just continued to break needles and despite oiling was loud and clunky. i bought the 1034D after reading a ton of reviews and comparisons of features for sergers in the comparable price range. from out the box, i have loved this thing!! it’s really smooth and fairly quiet compared to my old Singer. i have become more adventurous with using more than just the simple 3 thread overlock. i recently serged all the edges of a Little Mermaid costume that i made out of hand dyed gauze with ROLLED HEMS and it was super easy to learn and apply for layers and layers of gauze!! i just live your energy and style and am glad i found your review to confirm that i did buy the best serger for my needs ❤️ yes Brother it’s time to sponsor this sister!! 😘

I have owned the Brother 1034D for more than a decade. I often use decorative (metallic, fuzzy, stretch, etc) in the upper loopers for rolled hems and lettuce edge. Gorgeous rolled hems. Threading is not my favorite pastime, but once you understand how the serger works, it gets easier and easier to do. I've gone a whole year without having to re-thread.

This video arrived in my feeds at the right time. My Juki Mo 645 died not to long ago. I have moved and I am sure something happened... My sewing teacher has the same and two other brand and I was going to change brand just to experiment. After watching you I realized that I am used to my Juki and will purchase again. The price here in Feb 2023 is 650 euros (that was a good price) in a mom and pop store which usually I prefer to encourage. (but) I have found a used one that I will go see soon.

I got a Brother 1034D for Christmas. So far, so good. Not sure why so many find these hard to thread but I use industrial Juki sewing machines and a Demontron bartacker at work (I also sew for my 9-5 😅) so maybe I'm just used to threading and going through all the little spots you have to.

I have the Juki MO50E that you showed, yes you do thread it front ways like the other 2. It also has the easy thread little function for the looper. I have to say I’m surprised at the Juki on that test, I for a charity twice used the Brother one and I found it to be so different to the Juki. The brother was shuddering sooo badly and sounded so “clunky” while my Juki is extremely smooth, I found a huge difference between the 2.

@gayanderson2242 Жыл бұрын

@@Tyreselynn I did, and it choked similar to the way your test Juki did. That said, I’ve never had a need to put that much fabric through it at once, so it isn’t really a issue for me. I really like the stitch quality and it handles specialty threads and even fine yarn well for decorative stitches. I enjoy your videos and this smack down was very interesting.

Really interesting video. I've heard a lot of good for the brother so with this video in addition I will definitely keep that in mind when I want to buy it. Sadly I saw the price is a bit higher in the Netherlands (were I'm from) but not that much. I will have to save up anyway. Funny thing was I wanted to compare the other sergers but the singer is not for sale here and the juki is much more expensive with a price of ~ 465 euro. I really liked that you describe as best as you could what you saw, what you felt and also especially what for you is easy threading. I think that is something really important, but sometimes it is forgotten that what means easy to someone doesn't mean easy to the other. Always nice to see something that entertains and that you learn something from it as well (just don't know if my wallet agrees, but oh well).
