I love this coverstitch machine! It's not hard to learn to thread it, especially if you have some serger experience. It does take some practice and watching video tutorials on how to remove the fabric from the machine and tie off the ends properly. But once I got it, I got it! Now, not only are hems faster and easier, my knits look professionally made.
I would totally recommend this machine to anyone considering purchasing a cover stitch machine. Since I don't like changing thread colors in my regular sewing machine I knew I couldn't deal with a serger/cover stitch all in one machine. I decided to buy the Brother 1034D Serger and the 2340 CoverStitch. GREAT DECISION-I Love both. The stretch ability of the cover stitch is absolutely better than using a double-needle on a regular sewing machine.
I have worked in a professional setting with an industrial cover stitch machine. This model compares very favorably to it. It was easy to set up and the first times I've used it, it handled heavier double knit as well as lighter knit with no adjustments. I have also another combo serger/cover stitch machine and now will try to sell it. This machine is also at a great price.
I have my cover stitch machine sitting back to back with my serger and switch threads from the serger to the cover stitch machine when needed. The serger acts as my thread stand. An easy way to release the looper thread at the end of the stitching, is to open the front of the cover stitch machine and release the looper. Pull the looper thread up and through the needle plate, reset the looper, close the door and cut the top threads and then the looper thread after pulling the top threads to the back of the fabric. No knotting or seam sealer needed to lock the thread ends. Practice makes perfect.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] "I received the Brother Cover Stitch Machine for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product." I love using the Brother Cover Stitch Machine which always help me in creating a variety of cover stitches on different variety of fabrics with different weights. Brother infused advanced technology into this sewing machine and created the flexibility to create constructive and decorative applications, which helped us create amazing stiches and design our expensive fabrics. A built-in color-coded threading guide helped provide precise stitching for a high-quality finish. Also, this cover stitch features an easy and fast looper threading system to save time. Moreover, The adjustable dial allowed me to alter the speed of material flowing through the machine. This machine comes with a blind stitch foot and a gather foot as well as several helpful accessories. I love to use the Brother Cover Stitch Machine everyday and have already stitched so many beautiful dresses for my kids, and they are absolutely delighted to wear it and display it to their friends. I have already recommended this machine to many of my friends and family specially those with small kids, and several of them have already purchased this machine and have stitched beautiful dresses for their kids and the kids are very happy to wear them.
I read many reviews before purchasing this machine. I do a good deal of sewing clothing, as well as home decoration. I have a sewing machine and serger, so I never thought about a cover stitch machine. That is, until I saw a video demonstration of this machine in action. I love stretch knit clothing, and this gives a professional finish with no worry of popped hems. I have not had any issues with removing fabric from the machine or threading. Just watch some videos. There are plenty of them. One last mention, I am really glad I chose a separate cover stitch machine so I can go from serger to cover stitch without rethreading.
It took a few hours of using the 2340CV cover stitch machine to understand how it works. I am so glad I bought it. Now I can do real hem seams in my stretch garments instead always a zigzag stitch. My hems look professional. However, I have trouble removing my garment from under the presser foot. It doesn't want to let it go. I went to YouTube for help. I found one that works for me.
So far my coverstitch is working great! I'm so glad I got it. It's easy to use and runs so smoothly.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. The looks of this machine I thought it was a serger and I couldn't figure out why it was not cutting the material but it is a cover stitch machine. There are so many different stitches you can do with this that it shows in the book, however it does not tell you what settings you need to put the thread/needle on to get that stitch. The basic 2 stitches that they do give you the setting information worked perfect and looks great. At first I could not get the material out/released and it would knot up under the needles inside the machine. I figured out that if you open the front cover and clip the thread that is in the looper the material will come out. The machine is sturdy and the instructions for threading the machine were very detailed. There are so many options to use this machine on....hems of tshirts, attaching lace, tape and elastic, hemming, belt loops etc. Great machine and can't wait to get some sewing done!
I've had this machine for about 2.5 years now and it has behaved badly almost every time I use it. Stitches are uneven in a very unpredictable way. At best, it will do a sloppy job of stitching. At worst it will destroy the fabric and not even accomplish the stitching while doing that. I'm not an inexperienced sewer (been doing it for 45 years). This is the most unreliable machine I've ever owned. The very crude manual does not include any trouble-shooting advice. I can't even sell it - my conscience won't let me do that to some unsuspecting stranger.
