User questions & answers

Question:	use as a sewing machine
Answer:	I know this is an old question and some of my answers are repeats, but if you are still using this machine and haven't come up with an answer maybe one of the following solutions from my own experience will help you. I love this machine and therefore completed an extensive search for answers to my questions which included: Brother Support (not that helpful), studying the manual carefully & repeatedly, asking sew 'n' vac store employees and lots of Google searches. Here, in no particular order, are advice/solutions that solved my gathering/bunching issue and many other issues. 1. PROPER UPPER THREADING: Regarding threading, let me advise that the thread will jump out of the correct lineup at times so if your stitch changes in a bad way, check that first. Also, I had to use a clip over a piece of foam on the last guide before the needle guide because it popped out constantly, regardless of checking, rechecking and having others check my threading. 2. PROPER BOBBIN THREADING: I am forgetful so actually check the manual each time I thread a bobbin. Improper bobbin threading will really mess you up. 3. CORRECT NEEDLE SIZE & TYPE for specific fabric--VERY IMPORTANT!! Some of this is trial and error. Not all needle/thread guidelines I found applied to my situation. I tried Schmetz--130/705, HaX1 of 15x1--the Brother manual states this as an alternative, but Organ HLX5 (not sold locally) is best. DO NOT use the Schmetz "UNIVERSAL" needles if you are working with a fabric that specifically requires sharp or ball point. The Universal has a slight ball point--not sharp not full ball point. Learned that the hard way. 4. CORRECT THREAD FOR SIZE OF NEEDLE, TYPE OF FABRIC AND EXPECTED END RESULT. (superiorthreads.com is an awesome resource for this and many other sewing, quilting, embroidery questions. They have tons of educational articles and you can email them and receive friendly, personalized assistance for your particular situation. This is not a conflict of interest because Superior does not sell sewing machines and the articles and email support are available even if you don't purchase Amazon does sell a very few Superior products but not many.) Before Superior, I had no idea how many variables were involved in sewing and learned more about thread than I ever wanted to know, but need to know. 5. TENSION--BOTH UPPER TENSION AND BOBBIN TENSION. This is the first machine I have owned that both could be adjusted. Check manual for what correct tension should look like and how to adjust (admittedly the manual is not extremely clear). Bobbin tension is tightened or loosened by a screw at the bottom of bobbin case, and upper thread tension is adjusted by the small knob on the left side midway down. This knob has numbers, but they are essentially useless (even Brother agrees). They are there just to show the concept of righty tighty, lefty loosey--again, trial and error. 6. The LARGE DIAL TO THE RIGHT adjusts the stitch length, NOT the Tension. 7. Always keep the top thread guide pulled to maximum height, and make sure thread is coming out from the correct direction. Thread stands can also help although I have not tried one. Amazon sells these, several kinds. 8. If you use cone spools or slippery thread, you can purchase netting that will keep it from sliding and bunching at the bottom. 9. I have not yet figured out the best setting for the FEED DOG in various situations, but I do adjust it often if feeding seems difficult so far staying mostly within the light green area. Bottom line, your problem could be caused by any, all or some of the above factors. Good luck if anyone finds this answer useful. I can add photos, I think, if needed. Pretty sure this is the longest question answer I have ever written so I am not going to re-read, sorry for any typos or excess rambling.
Question:	I have never serged before, I need a very simple to thread machine. any suggestions for me
Answer:	Throat space is the area to the right of the needle when seated at the machine. It is the open area between the needle and the vertical side of the machine that determines how much fabric might fit comfortably within that space when sewing on your project.
Question:	My 8 thread Baby Lock recently broke and i am desperate to get a replacement. Will I be satisfied with the Brother 1034D? I have a Brother Inovis an
Answer:	Yes, there are many feet, including a walking foot. If you want a 1/4 foot with an "edge" on it, you would have to purchase one from the sewing outlet.com ($15.99). I like to sew with the edged 1/4 inch foot. Otherwise, there are many presser feet, including the free motion foot. You can drop the feed dogs to free motion. This is a great quilting machine and has excellent "pin feed," which moves the fabric through like butter. First time threading took longer for me, but after that it was free sailing.If you want to make quilts faster like I do, this is a great machine. I used to quilt with my Bernina, but I like the Brother better. It is more affordable and well made. You should also know that if you use thicker threads (I always use 100% cotton from ConnectingThreads.com), that you will need an 80/12 needle instead of the smaller ones due to the way the machine's tension is set up. Hope this helps,Vivian from Wisconsin
Question:	I am looking at a tee shirt hem. It has 2 top stiched straight lines and the underside has the loops. Will this machine do this
Answer:	It measures 8 3/4 inches from needle to right side of machine. It is 6 1/2 inches high from base to top of opening.

Question:	What kind or brand of needles I need with this Brother Designio series DZI
Answer:	Try tightening the tension knob
Question:	Does it sew heavy material well like it shows in video

Answer:	I've been using it with out issue, I did find that going around the tensioner an extra time helped. You also may need to adjust the stopping point based on the bobbin style.

User questions & answers

Question:	Im a beginner at sergering, which one: 1034d or st4031hd and why
Answer:	A regular sewing machine would be so much better and easier! I also own a Brother SE 400 and LOVE It! I would choose it over the Brother 1034D Serger.
Question:	Can you serge denim and vinyl
Answer:	This serger is much easier to thread than others I have owned and used but it's not as simple as threading a regular sewing machine.You must thread in the correct order to be successful. Watch some of the YouTube videos that demonstrate threading this machine. Then what I did was place a sticker underneath each tension dial and with a Sharpie marker, I wrote 1, 2, 3 and 4 on the appropriate sticker. That way I can tell at a glance what order I need to thread in.
Question:	Can this machine do rolled hems like on tulle and silky fabrics
Answer:	Ouch. Hopefully, they have good customer support to help you. The 1034D will do what a 4-thread serger does and you won't be disappointed. But that's about it.
Question:	What is the deferent between st4031hd and 2340cv
Answer:	If you want that double line of stitching that covers the raw edge of your hem on the back of the work, you can use a regular sewing machine and a double needle. It is a stretchable stitch so you can use it on knits or wovens. Double needles come in a couple different widths and aren't very expensive--a lot cheaper than a cover stitch machine! The wrong side of the fabric will look somewhat like it's been zigzagged. You just use 2 spools of thread on top or a spool and a wound bobbin of the same color. That's why there are usually 2 thread pegs on your machine. Hold the 2 threads together & thread the machine as usual until you get to the last 2 thread guides, then separate them so they don't twist together near the needles.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it have start and stop button
Answer:	Creating your own designs is done with embroidery digitizing software. Here is a FAQ with available software. https://help.brother-usa.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/69178
Question:	Can this machine use the larger hoops
Answer:	No, this machine does not have a endless hoop.
Question:	Can this machine be used for hemming jeans
Answer:	I had a hard time figuring out the embroidery tool as a complete beginner. It wasn’t till my pro mother-in-law came over to help that I stopped destroying my items. My main problem was that most embroidered fabric requires not only the right kind of stabilizer under the fabric but also a “topper.” The instructions do not explain this well. I took a class at a local quilting shop and now I am embroidering quite well.
Question:	What warranty is offered and does it have a uk plug
Answer:	I probably would not unless it was a thin piece. That type of material is better left to a specific machine built for that. I would hate to think I burned up the motor on my 1,000 embroidery machine trying to sew a straight stitch in a leather piece.

Question:	Will this foot work on Baby Lock imagine serger
Answer:	Yes, you can. Open the front storage area where you'll find the feed dog lever.
Question:	what type foot would i need for my machine to be a serger
Answer:	I've only had this machine a little over a week, so had not tried to hem jeans until just now. The machine sewed through 6 layers of heavy denim and did a good job - I've never had a machine that would do that before! So far, I REALLY love this machine, as it's pretty straightforward to learn how to use. The only thing I've had trouble with is making buttonholes, but I haven't spent much time at it yet!
Question:	Does this foot work on the 1034D (Brother Babylock?) machine
Answer:	I used it to make my granddaughter two skirts and a kimono out of fine tulle and it sewed beautifully with no problems, also dance costumes of fine tulle and silky appliques on same. It’s a dream to sew with.
Question:	so this foot does the work of an actual serger machine

User questions & answers

Question:	What software do I need in order to create my own designs
Answer:	Not sure. But I believe they are selling the sewing machine, under the reviews of some type of beads. Because that way it appears to have good reviews. Until you read the reviews and realize they are not for this product. This product is poorly made and doesnt work for even the simplest of projects. I do not recommend this sewing machine.
Question:	Is there a compatible endless hoop for this machine
Answer:	I'm not having that problem, at least not so far.
Question:	Is there a video that comes with the machine on how to set it up and how to use the embroidery feature
Answer:	I was asked to answer this by Amazon, but I have never purchased this machine. So my best guess is they switched products to give this better reviews. Seems shady to me.
Question:	Can the sewing feature of this machine be used to sew leather and other thick materials
Answer:	Because it doesnt work. Because it is junk. I returned mine. Nothing I did could make it work.

User questions & answers

Question:	What brand of thread is recommended? Buying for granddaughter and want to send her thread
Answer:	Hello - I generally buy a cotton/poly blend - it is durable and quite easily found. Coates & Clarke is a vey well known brand. It would also help if you knew what kind of projects she might be undertaking...the weight of the thread varies with the task. I just googled "Brand names for sewing Threads"and there were a variety of experts writing on the subject if you want to take the exploration further...Good luck!
Question:	is the LED lit up pretty bright comparing to the bulb counterpart in prev models like XL2600i or XL
Answer:	I have no reference to compare how bright as I am new to sewing. However, the light is very bright and I had no difficulty seeing what I was doing.
Question:	Can it sew denim material? Like to fix a pair of jeans
Answer:	I went through three layers of denim. It was awesome
Question:	So this is my first time purchasing a sewing machine. Is it easy to use for beginners
Answer:	Yes! I purchased this machine as my first sewing machine, and it was very easy to figure out. I was practicing stitches in no time!

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this fit brother xl
Answer:	No, the Brother Side Cutter Foot, SA177 is not compatible with the Brother XL5130.
Question:	does it works on nx
Answer:	The best I can do is refer you to the brother International site to the sewing section and put in your model number and see if it's compatible. That's what I do every time I order a part here at Amazon for my Brother machine.
Question:	Will this work with the Brother HS
Answer:	Yes it will. But I don't recommend it, if you don't have a serger I guess is better than nothing, it doesn't work that well. I have try it couple times and it depends the fabric for it to work a little better. Knits, don't even try I was very disappointed, it actually ruin my pants :( hopefully this helps. Have a nice day!

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you embroider with this machine
Answer:	Even though this machine is not an embroidery machine, you can learn to do beautiful embroidery work on it by learning free motion embroidery. In fact, one of the cool presser feet that comes with this machine is the open toe darning foot, which is a bonus!... People who wish to embroider, use this foot to do so. You Tube has many fine videos that will show you how to do free motion embroidery, on a regular machine, with just an everyday wooden hoop. Just type in free motion embroidery tutorials in the you tube search area, and you will be busy for hours, learning to this method. Enjoy!
Question:	Is this easy to use
Answer:	Depends what you want it for. Simple sewing like clothing or piecing quilt tops should be okay - putting quilts together NO! The throat is not big enough for free motion quilting and it doesn’t do well with bulky material. Your needle will snap, bobbin will have a nervous breakdown and you’ll get error codes that will make you want to pull your hair out when you try to clear them. But if you set on buying this model or the CS6000i here is the skinny - it is easy to use if you stick to the book or YouTube for help and FOLLOW the step by step instructions. It’s a cute machine for newbies but an albatross around experienced quilters necks
Question:	how could 2,000 people give this a good review and another 150 absolutely hate the same machine
Answer:	Because it's a review, some reviews aren't anything more than "it sucks". But for only 150 people out of 2,000 people don't like or understand the machine, that's pretty damn good.
Question:	is this one suggested for a beginner
Answer:	This would be a GREAT machine for a beginner. I've sewn for at least 60 yrs and have had machines that cost as much as $2,000, and to me this is the best. I'm an avid believer that one should read the manual first and recommend for you to do this. You will be able to nicely grow into this machine and should have no regrets with the purchase. I love idea that you can sew without using a presser foot, but can control your stitches on the front of the machine. Love to be able to see when the bobbin is getting low, various speeds, even some decorative stitches for you. It's quiet, fun, light weight for taking to classes, or for my motorhome. Can't say enough, I JUST LOVE THIS MACHINE, it's all I could ever want. Please read the manual. Hope this helps. JMD
