What are our final thoughts?
The Brother 1034DX is a worthy investment if you are an avid sewer or a keen beginning sewer you’ll find this an ideal serger to start with. It works fast to give good results. Not only does it sew different fabrics but also cuts extra fabric and simultaneously binds it with thread.
Can a serger replace a regular sewing machine?
While a serger machine will not do everything regular sewing machines do, a regular sewing machine doesn’t do what it does either! A regular machine is needed for topstitching, buttonholes, zippers, and so on. For a professional finish on your seams, you can’t beat a serger so it’s a great machine to invest in.
