Brother 1034D Threading Instructions

The Brother 1034D can hold four spools of thread at once.

The Brother 1034D 3-4 Lay-In Thread Serger is designed to sew lightweight to heavyweight materials at a normal operating speed of 1,300 stitches per minute. This is considerably faster than an ordinary foot-operated sewing machine, which operates at 300 to 800 stitches per minute. You may use three to four threads at once, greatly increasing your creative possibilities. This machine is ideal for adding decorative stitching to linens and clothing.
