Update: it worked! After hours of wasting my time yesterday on other videos (other ones say to move lower looper 18.5 mm to the right of needles basically when at lowest position, when in fact it is 2mm to the left of needles on this machine).. I did your lower looper method and it worked out great. I also had to adjust how far past the needles my upper looper was, so I adjusted that by making sure the upper looper hole was just barely past both needles when at highest position. My machine loopers were also very stiff along with the Allen wrench screws because they have never been adjusted before, so this took a while to work yesterday to get them to loosen up and move around. Thank you so much again! I saved a lot of money that I don’t have 😅 I went from feeling like I really broke it to the point on me not being able to fix to now finishing up serging my sweater. To the people who are working on their machines: don’t give up! Just keep slowly adjusting it until it is just right!

Amazing and well done. Thank you so much for your detailed feedback. It will help many others I’m sure xx share the love and let others know. Xx

I'm so glad! and Well done! 🥰 Comments like this make it worth while for me - Please do subscribe and share - help me grow the channel so I can help more x

Happy birthday 🥳

@@AbisDen 🙌🏾thank you so much 🫶🏾

You genius! 💥💫

Great to hear!

You are welcome! Yes. All brother overlocker an are the same. They just have a different feature on the different models

It is essentially the same. Well done for working through the problem and fixing it DIY. 👍🏽 let’s stop paying the 🏴‍☠️ who overcharge for little things we can resolve ourselves. Well done you!!!

Hi ‘ it’s the other looper that as ceased up x

You are so welcome!

Great job!

You’re welcome. Have you fixed it?

@@AbisDen I FINALLY fixed it to the best of my ability after (literally) several days and hours thanks to your info! I wish I would have known how cheap this machine was made before getting it, but I did get it for pretty cheap from eBay so I HAD to fix it lol

Glad it was helpful!

Glad it was helpful!

£90 is a bit cheeky. I, and others, charge a lot less because it is such a quick fix. Have a try. Good luck !

Hi. You are welcome to if you pull the thread through the tension discs well then you shouldn’t have any problem. Then try the top tension first.

It’s what I’m here for. 🦸‍♀️

Wonderful!

Its tricky to get the balance, does it work. It’s also a matter of the metal bending inside, which I discuss in another video (maybe … it was a while ago now). The brother machines are terrible. The more I learn about machines and get to play with more brands and more models, the less I like brother. Xx I’m so happy tha5 I can help though x

@@AbisDen thanks for responding 😊 Can you recommend a cost effective machine for beginners?

Janome are great, brother, singer and Necchi are cheap. Necchi from Ald is great 🪡✨ or try code ABISDEN at Fabric .mouse

@@AbisDen thanks for the recommendations!! I bought a used Brother machine because I'm on a budget. Going to give it a go and save up for a Janome :-)

Thank you @ZillyPaul

Glad I could help!

👍🏾

I cover this in the timing video for the singer sewing machine. Generally speaking, all Overlockers are almost all the same and you’ll find solutions by watching the problem for any make of machine. But excellent, well done sir!

🫣

Have a look at the timing video. It’s for the singer but the rules apply 😊 good luck

Yes I can, kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rsqTmZmjkrPJqKs.html :-)

Amazing! Well done you 🤟🏽🪡✨

Oh no! You always have a cool off period in which to return the machine. I really rate the Aldi Necchi above this or even the singer from Lidl better that the brother. So you don’t really need to break the bank for a machine. I’m so sorry about that. The brother are not regarded well by any mechanic I know x

have a look at my needle plate video x

Which machine do you have?

@@AbisDenThe 1034D, I found out to take it off and I saw it later in the video. It was the piece you called a Stitch Finger @ 5:21

Doesn’t sound great does it. Hmmm. Has the angle of the upper looper been adjusted? Have a look at my other machine videos and maybe something will help. The problem with advice is, I can go as far as show how to correct for my machine. Unless I have yours sitting in front of me, it’s so hard to know exactly. Maybe it’s worth asking a fresh pair of eyes to look at it ?

I'm having the exact same problem! Did you ever manage to fix it?

Exactly the same thing here. I'm going to assume it's correct for now because others have the same experience and nothing is scraping against anything else....

Hey Andia, have you fixed this issue?

You should be able to contact your local Brother dealer, online, they will supply the part to you x

Hey Mary, is this problem resolved now?

@@AbisDen yes Abi, had it repaired and serviced at the shop I bought it from at the cost of £400. I was told that even before the repair it would have fetched £1500 . .... Enjoy your new Zuki air threader .

Cheap machines. brother make plastic machines, you don’t tend to find this happens with other brands. Brother sell the worst of all machines, people say it’s singer, but I’d have a singer over a brother every time

@@AbisDen i see....i thought brother has good quality as their well known brand on other product like printer....thank you for respond me....really helpful video....😊😊👍👍👍

😓carefully x it should go on without force. I’ve shown it over a few videos. Good luck x

Follow the same process for this machine. Open it up and oil it. Good luck!

@@AbisDen Thank you very much for your prompt response !

Good morning, Abi! The problem is solved, and it's working fine now. Thank you ever so much, and I wish you all the best.

Yay

You could send it on instagram x

Sometimes the thread gets stuck in tension discs, brother machines are made with too wide spacing for the small discs, so thread gets trapped in the wrong spaces x good luck!

I have the same exact issue. Were you able to get it resolved or did you return it?

@@tashaunasasheika I got it fixed. Carried it by a service company apparently it was the timing and the belt was lose. It's working now

The problem with these Brother machines is they are unfit for purpose. I would take it back to brother and ask for my money back. Consumer laws are in place to protect buyers from purchases unfit for purpose, and you are well within your rights to have a refund. Brother make terrible machines and dealers falsify customers rights to prevent returns.

Glad you’ve managed to fix it now 💪🏽🙌🏽

Just not a brother. Janome and Jaguar have good mid priced machines and reasonable reliable

Would you please show a video about the feed dogs not feeding fabric through the overlocker. They just go up and down. It’s a Brother 734ds. I did send it back to the seller, awaiting a refund, but I thought it may others to fix theirs. Thank you. Regards

Thanks Ann. Good Idea.

I do think people should steer clear of brother machines. The needle plate fork often bends on their machines, take a look at the video to help with that. Good luck 🌷

@@AbisDen Thank you for your prompt response . Are there affordable surgers you recommend? I live in the US.

I am sorry that I didn't reply, I have only just found your reply. I don't know which to recommend, I imagine you've bought one by now x

Unfortunately, it isn’t the easiest task to undertake. I put these videos out to help you try. Take one step at a time. I have been doing this for many years and on hundreds of machines, so I get carried away. Keep at it, it will save you so much money 🫶🏽

Thank You so much!
