Data from official source

Sheet curated by SewingSpecs — We check every spec sheet against the manufacturer's own documentation: each value carries its source and the date we read it. Published Sept. 17, 2026 · Last updated Sept. 18, 2026 · Data verified Sept. 18, 2026

The 1034D is a basic 3/4-thread overlock serger, built for finishing seams and edges regularly without needing a cover stitch. It sews 4-thread overlock with two needles or 3-thread overlock with one, plus a rolled hem and a narrow hem: switching between them means moving the needle, not flipping a dedicated lever.

Cutting width runs from 5 to 7 mm and is set with the presser foot pressure dial, which stays adjustable at any time. The upper knife is retractable, so working close to the edge for a rolled hem doesn't risk nicking the fabric, and the removable trim trap catches fabric offcuts while you serge. Tension on the four threads stays manual, on independent dials for each needle.

It has no automatic needle threader and no quick-change device between 2, 3 and 4 threads: switching configuration is done by hand. It is a serger, it does not make buttonholes or straight finishing seams, and cover-stitch work needs a dedicated machine.

02 · Summary

Pros and cons

In favour

It switches from 4-thread to 3-thread overlock by moving the needle, without needing a second machine
The upper knife is retractable: working close to the edge for a rolled hem does not risk nicking the fabric
The removable trim trap catches fabric offcuts while sewing, keeping the work area clear
The free arm lets you work on cuffs and trouser legs without turning the garment

Worth knowing

Switching from 4 to 3 threads means moving the needle by hand, not flipping a dedicated lever or accessory
Tension on the four threads is manual: it has to be adjusted on the dials every time the fabric changes
It has no cover-stitch device: cover-hem work needs a dedicated machine source
