M343D Overlocker, White, 33.5 cmx29.6 cmx28.2cm

I'm not an expert sewer. Had experience with hand and machine sewing but never an overlocker. Never even seen one until sewing bee was on the telly! I'm an early retired bloke with time in his hands and a total amateur, green, newbie sewer. I've researched this machine on YouTube before purchasing. They are not cheap and this seemed like a good entry level machine that works. And it does. A good YouTube channel I watched was Abi's Den. She uses this and I learned a lot so do research before purchasing. A lot of people, from comments I've read is they are put off and even scared to use it as it seems too complicated. Yeah, it is intimidating at first but just spend some time just studying the machine with the door open. Then, follow a video guide and mine came ore threaded from the factory with their test piece still in situ so you can see what they did. I took 2 pictures of what I made in about 2 minutes. These are just practice pieces. Just a rough quilt square and a small pocket using pre cut fabric squares. As it overlocks it cuts or trims the seam so it's properly neat and tidy and strong. When threading, it is not difficult as the instructions are printed on the inside door. Threading is easier if you use the supplied tweezers. My hands are big! Tweezers are not! The quality, to my newbie eyes is great. I haven't changed any factory settings but you can alter the feed dogs, stitch width, foot pedal etc. The machine itself has a smaller than anticipated footprint and comes with a cover. I have no difficulty recommending this overlocker to fellow newbie sewers. Very happy.

Great quality you would expect from Brother. This is my first overlocker (I've used one before in a sewing class). Machine is easier to thread than you might think and it's not too noisy. I love this and it's taken my amateur sewing to another level.

Very good and easy to work

Great machine;quality at an affordable price.

Sturdy overlocker to use at home. Easy to follow to thread up with colour code set-up. Stool thread options so you can choose the pattern you want. Comes with accessories and storage space to put them in. Easy to follow and use, with good results. I am happy with my purchase. There are 2 small things about this overlocker and they are it is heavy in weight and it is quite loud when using it.

Found the overlocker easy to thread up and I'm lefthanded. Stitch quality good. The machine is a little noisy. The only thing missing is a trim trap,you can buy separately.

This machine is noisier than my old machine and made from plastic rather than metal, but it is easier to thread, can thread in full within 5 minutes and it's lighter and more compact. A great machine for a beginner using an overlocker. My old overlocker died whilst in the process of making 265 tote bags, so needed a replacement as quick as possible without a massive expenditure. This one fitted the bill as not only was it offer I also purchased it on 5 months interest free credit. I had looked at this machine when thinking if (which was sooner than I expected) and when I needed a replacemetn. Very happy with my purchase and definitely receommend.

Very happy with this purchase. It arrived well packaged with DVD and manual. No thread, except a few lengths which are prethreaded for demonstration. After studying the instructions it was not too difficult to set up. I was delighted to have it threaded from scratch and working within half an hour or so. Not bad for a first go. I can now change threads in 5 minutes. Hurray. Obviously it takes a little investment of time and effort if you haven't used an overlocker before which I hadn't but I was pleasantly surprised how straightforward it was to thread having been a bit intimidated by overlockers generally! The coloured threading guides are a big help as is the manual booklet. The lower looper is the trickiest bit to thread but has an ingenious sliding lever which makes it much easier. It took a few practice goes to get the hang of but I was soon overlocking confidently on fabric ranging from thin cotton to thicker corduroy and trouser fabric and I'm pleased with the results so far. Stitching looks neat and professional. I don't find it too noisy at all but I sew in a room away from the family. Slightly noisier than my sewing machine but not a bother to me. It may be a basic model and there are more expensive ones with more features but this one does what I want to do with no fuss or problem Glad I bought it.

This overlocker is the best for real love it

It was so easy to use, threading was quick given that this is my first overlocker. As this is the UK model, I had to get a separate adapter to fit into an Au plug, but other than that, it works wonderful. Will need to purchase a trim catcher separately.

ممتاز

just had to change the plug as it does not work in Australia but everything else was fine for here. It works perfectly and nothing was broken. I went for a quick lesson in Nerang to thread it correctly and start using it properly.
