Re-fashion your wardrobe!
A great way to start sewing and serging is to re-fashion items in your own closet. Have fun combining fabrics and textures, and transform clothes you rarely wear into ‘front of the closet’ favorites. Instead of spending money on alterations, see how easy it is to hem a pair of pants, or take in a seam yourself. Simple serger techniques can take your design and make it ready for the runway in no time. The DZ1234 Serger includes feet and thread to get you started:
• Blind hem stitch foot – While designed for blind stitching, the foot works well for edge stitching, lace and fabric edge joining
• Gathering foot – Connect fabric layers and edge finish in one step
• Piping foot – Create your own piping using fabric strips and piping cord
• 2 Thread sets – Get started quickly and easily with the included sets of starter thread

Absolutely No Regrets Allow me to preface this review with: I’ve never, ever used nor owned a Serger – I’ve never even watched someone else use a Serger… so if I can do it, anyone can. I primarily sew clothing, and finally, after 30 years, have decided it’s time to take my sewing up a notch. I’m thrilled with the results! I absolutely love this Brother Serger. I spent much time reading reviews and searching Craig’s List for an amazing deal on a high dollar Bernina or Juki, which could not be found. So I opted for this Brother within my price range, and could not possibly be happier with my choice. I selected this 1234 over the 1034 because I prefer the more sophisticated look of the Navy Blue dials over the 1034’s colored dials – and because this model came with 3 additional feet, well worth the added expense to me.Threading is simple and each step clearly marked and color coded; Inside the looper area, they have little numbered pictures – making threading essentially foolproof – the only…
Great bang for the serger buck This machine has all the utility and function of a much more expensive machine. It comes pre-threaded, so if you are a serging novice, you can check it out before you have to get into threading, which is the hairiest part of a serger. I am a fan of the Brother line of machines, and the guides for threading are very helpful, even when you’ve been doing it a while–it’s always nice to have reminders. Although the manual is good, if you are a complete beginner with sergers, I recommend taking a serger class at your local sewing store. It’s incredibly much simpler and faster to get the basics down when a teacher is showing you how to do it on your own machine. I like that this model comes with a trim tray to catch all those furry bits of cut-off. My more expensive model does not have this, and I’ve been borrowing it from one machine to the other. (I wanted a second serger so I could do difference color threads without constantly having to rethread.)I can’t imagine…
