Brother Serger Needleplate image

Chaining Forks and Needleplate          updated 02/10/2021

 


We receive many many many questions about this issue every day -

 

"Why is my stitching bunching up horribly here....etc."       


First - if you have threaded the Brother 1034d Serger in the correct order, Dial#3 Upper Looper, Dial#4 Lower Looper, Dial#2 Right Needle, Dial#1 Left Needle, and are sure no threads are crossed and they are seated properly in the thread tension disks...     

 

NOTE::::: THREADING ORDER IS DIFFERENT FOR MODEL#1034DX

 

Presser foot should be down when trying to serge the chain.

 

Threadtree all the way extended up imageThreadtree is all the way UP,  

 

Visually inspect your needle plate and verify that the chaining forks are pointing straight back toward the presser foot and still attached securely.

 

Remove the presser foot to see the condition of the Needleplate more clearly if necessary.

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

If they have broken,  and you must replace the needleplate, it is considered a Warranty Repair if you purchased your machine less than 12 months ago.  Amazon,

Brother  1-877-276-8437, and Costco are excellent about taking care of this. 

 

The key is to not force the threads or fabric, particularly in a jam - sideways ----- working "with" the equipment pull straight back (behind the presser foot) and most folks will have their original needleplate last a very long time.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE any PARTS

from the old needle plate  on the new one.

 

The only part you will re-use is the large lefthand screw in the bottom left corner.

 

The new one has been re-designed and does not have the same parts.

 

This is the most common reason folks thing they have purchased the incorrect part - because they expect the new one to look like the old one.

 

The HoneySew one on Amazon is frequently bought by our members and they have had good results. Another company on eBay sells the part and we have not had any reports of problems with that one either.
