Brother ST4031HD Serger, Strong & Tough Serger, 1,300 Stitches Per Minute, Durable Metal Frame Overlock Machine, Large Extension Table, 3 Included Accessory Feet, 12.99 x 14.37 x 17.01 in., White

Works well and came perfectly pre threaded! for anyone unaccustomed to a Serger/Overlock machine, it is always a learning curve but this works very well! It certainly is slightly noisy as all overlock machines tend to be, but it is certainly worth the investment for any sewist or garment creator

Oh my gosh I was so excited to receive my brother serger , it came with everything promised and pre threaded . I've used it a few times and I am a happy girl ! my old new home serger lasted 28 yrs and was finally giving out so I researched for months before choosing this brother st4031 with a metal frame . I recommend oiling the machine right away before using .I am a very pleased with this machine and would highly give it a 5 star and tell y'all it's worth the purchase!

It’s a very good surgery

This is my first own serger. Before I had some experience with my mother's old serger, but I couldn't make friends with it. I thought this type of machine was too complicated, so for years I postponed getting it. But when this one came, it took me almost no time and only one video class to learn all basic seams and actually start making things.Also, I was concerned that it may be loud. I live in an apartment building, and I can hear my neighbor snoring. So noise was important. The reviews were contradictory on this matter, and now I know the reason: it needs oiling right away + at least every month. When it gets dry, it may get noisy. When it's well lubricated, it is no different than a sewing machine. Just order some oil right away, it's really easy to apply it.I like that it uses regular sewing needles. When it comes to thread, it's kind of picky (which I heard all sergers are). I tried using some cheap no-brand thread from China, and it just breaks, while my sewing machine is fine with this thread. I love the extension table and use it all the time.

It works great. It is a little loud but I don't mind because it is fast and saves me time. Good luck in your serger journey.

I had a White 734/DW that cost $1000.00 in 1993. It never worked right. I was constantly trying to configure a tension with no results. In and out of the shop. After spending so much money I couldn’t get rid of so it sat for 26 years. Needless to say I was terrified of sergers.With this pandemic I started asking for donations of fabric. I was making masks for individuals and businesses. I didn’t want any money just a donation to the Food Bank. These first masks made 3800 meals. My first 340 masks took forever without a serger. So much pinning, ironing and measuring. Not to mention how bulky they were having to fold the raw edge in.My daughter is a sewing teacher, seamstress and clothing designer. I asked her to recommend a serger and she recommended a Brother. I got the Serger on the 15th of June and I have made 360 more masks to donate to a mask distribution center. Because of the new Brother Serger these mask take only a quarter of the time the old ones took. I don’t feel like a 1 person sweat shop anymore. Also the masks look great.This serger purrs like a kitten. It runs smoothly and provides an easy straight stitch. I love the side table. I am able to hold the fabric with my left hand and the garment is guided through easily. Honestly I don’t know why all sergers don’t have this feature.I like this serger so well I want to sew everyday. So much fabric was donated for this cause I could make masks everyday for years.Do take the time to get the Brother app. It was so easy to thread watching it being done.I also needed help from Brother because my accessory pack was missing. I didn’t want to exchange the machine because it did come with a sewing foot. To my surprise 3 days after contacting Brother UPS arrived with the missing accessories.My daughter who has a different brother said she is getting this model.Thank you Brother and thank you Amazon. With the fast shipment and replacement accessories I can keep making masks every day all for donating.Theses masks help feed the needy and go out to people that need them. They may also save a life. It took a whole lot of people that made it possible for me to keep sewing.I know this is very long but to get a machine of any type that you love right out of the box is rare.

Really works like a heavy duty machine and has been dependable for the 6 weeks I have had it. I sew 6 days a week as I make and sell items using canvas and t-shirt material and it switches between the fabrics without any tension adjustment and handles both types of fabric easily and smoothly. The lift lever is super convenient for raising pressure foot. It came with a catch tray that the previos one I ordered and returned in two weeks did not include. A catch tray is just common sense and do not know why other brands do not include it. Being able to remove part of the deck is great for sewing small items that I would have to constantly stop and adjust the small small toddler skirts I make. I sew and sell items at markets and this machine has been reliable. If my other serger which is 12 years old should finally quit I would replace it with this same Brother machine. This is the first Brother brand I have bought and very happy with it.

I bought this machine ten days ago after breaking a needle inside my very old Viking Husqvarna. The needle is stuck in the holder…unable to get it out…and no time to take it to get fixed for a project I’m working on with a deadline…I decided to buy a new one. After researching, I came close to spending the $$$$ Baby Lock machine because on my must have list, was a machine that was easy to thread. Sewing through thick fabric was a must have because I sew with a lot of thick fabrics as denim for Lucky Brand Jeans. At the moment I’m sewing through a very thick ribbing fabric on lightweight puffer fabric. I’m so happy with this machine’s performance! It lives up to the claims! After figuring out how to thread it the first time it’s pretty easy after…I have to change the color thread a lot ( so much easier than my old one ) The stitches are perfect right out of the box, which I was grateful for. Also, Love the dust collector attachment! I’m so happy with this machine!!!
