Brother M343D Overlocker

Product Information

The 3034DWT is a good choice for sewers who just want the main 3 or 4 thread stitches, easy threading, and don’t want to spend too much. Lot’s of freebies When compared against a sewing machine there are quite a few noticeable differences. In addition to being faster at sewing they also come with a built-in blade which trims off the excess seam allowance as you go, which again is more time efficient than having to do this task with scissors. The differential feed provides precision stitching and has a ratio of 0.5mm to 2.2mm.The cutting width is adjustable from 2.0 to 5.7 mm. With a built-in rolled hem it guarantees the highest quality finish every time. To adjust the thread tension there is a thread tension dial for each needle thread, the lower looper thread and the upper looper thread. Retractable Knife Blade

Offering 3 or 4 thread capabilities the stitch performance of the Janome 9300DX is of very high-quality ensuring a professional finish. It features an adjustable cutting width of between 2.0 to 5.7 mm and uses standard ball point needles. The M343D comes with a LED light and it has to be said, it is very bright. Strangely enough it is a lot brighter than the one on the Brother 1034D and I can’t quite fathom out why? AccessoriesAlthough this is a good introductory model there is the possibility to get more for your money with the Brother M343D. This is the top plastic part only which you screw onto your originalshaft with the small screw you already have.

Sewing Machine with 2 Power Supply Modes: 4 * AA batteries (not included) or AC/DC electric power adapter (include). Always make sure the power switch is on the "OFF" position for safety. It comes with an adjustable stitch length of 1 mm to 5 mm and a cutting width of 3 mm to 7 mm. In terms of speed this is a fast machine with the ability to stitch 1300 stitches per minute.For ease of use it comes with a built-in reference panel making using it a bit simpler. Again for ease of use it features a self-threading lower looper, which in my opinion is a God send, as is the tilting needle clamp, which means you can change needles in a jiffy.

Liza Flaherty: "I hold out great hopes for Brother M343D because it does infinitely more than the basic singer, obviously, because you're getting a few bit more features on it for your money. It does rolled blind hems and it does all sorts of great stuff. Hi Anne, It depends on how much you are looking to spend but the Brother M343D is a good entry mode. It has a good mix of affordability and quality features such as the F.A.S.T lower looping system Reply The M343D offers you the option of working on a flatbed surface or making an easy change to a free arm work area. Simply slide off the bed extension when you wish to put a clean, professional finish on pants legs, cuffs, sheer rolled-hem and lettuce-edge sleeves, collars or other small projects and hard-to-reach areas. Manufacturer’s Guarantees There is a thread tension dial for each needle thread the lower looper thread and the upper looper thread. Retractable Knife Blade

Industry specialists I spoke to like the Brother brand in general, especially for ease of threading. Stitch quality There is the option of 3 or 4 thread operation and like all Janome models the stitch quality is of a professional standard. It comes with a rolled-hemming function and the differential feed ratio of 0.5 to 2.2 allows for work on a wide variety of fabrics. Due to the lay-in threading system and the colour coded threading system, threading and rethreading are relatively easy when compared against many other models. With 2, 3 or 4 threads it is slightly more versatile than most of the models we have reviewed up to now. It features a built-in needle threader and comes with the F.A.S.T lower looper threading system, which we just love.

Both only come with the standard foot and no waste tray. My 3 Best Buys all came with more accessories.

Testing & Customers Reviews

The 2104Dis a good choice for sewers who just want the main 3 or 4 thread stitches, easy threading, and don’t want to spend too much. Good price Sadly, as good as this machine is, it is not flawlessly perfect. One particular issue we’ve discovered in our research is that many customer have found it to be a lot nosier than others when used at its top speed. A free arm for sewing collars, cuffs, and sleeves. This tool allows you to easily work on small areas and is especially helpful for those who deal with children’s clothing.
