Does anyone here have/use the Brother 1034D 3/4 Lay-In Thread Serger? I just sold my Singer serger - hated it! - and am trying to decide on a serger to buy. The Brother is within my budget and gets rave reviews online, but I'd love some honest opinions from those of you here as well :)

I polled ladies around the town where I lived about what they used and could I try it out if I brought my own fabric over. I got a lot of good practical research doing that. On a serger if you hate the way it threads you will hate the machine. Then I found a dealer (in the city) who had a really solid second hand machine that fit my requirements and budget. I always want to buy somewhere that I am guaranteed will service my machine.

I just ordered the machine through Amazon, along with two books as a package deal. I got free shipping, and Amazon is great about no-hassles refunds if need be. It's too close to Christmas to be without a serger and, since my Singer sold, I did what I said and used the money from it to purchase the new one :) Thanks a bunch for the input.
