About this deal

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. An adjustable differential feed. Machines with this feature have two feed dogs beneath the fabric working independently. You can adjust them depending on what you want to achieve. One of the main positives of the 4234D is its ability to work on pretty much any fabric weight/type and deliver perfectly hemmed seams or decorative effects every time.

There is also a reference panel on the machine, which helps with selecting the correct tension setting for various stitches. This is a handy feature as it saves the need of having to serge-test seams on an old piece of fabric.

There is a thread tension dial for each needle thread the lower looper thread and the upper looper thread. Retractable Knife Blade This is the top plastic part only which you screw onto your originalshaft with the small screw you already have. Both only come with the standard foot and no waste tray. My 3 Best Buys all came with more accessories.

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 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 Buying a machine that has free arm to flat-bed conversion table is something well worth considering. This feature comes in handy when doing work on cuffs or sleeves. LED Light However, if that’s not an issue, don’t let that one problem put you off investing in this otherwise great machine. You can easily adjust the length and width of each stitch you create by simply turning the dial to the size you want and as well as standard stitches you can also use it to create more decorative stitches and finishes. Chain-off stitches for instance. 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.

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. 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 The unit has a built-in rolled hem feature, an electronic foot control, and comes pre-threaded. The upper knife can be easily retracted for more creative projects. 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

Although this is a good introductory model there is the possibility to get more for your money with the Brother M343D. 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. 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. If you choose a model with snap-on presser feet you will thank yourself for it. When it comes to threading or rethreading snap-on presser feet are a desirable feature to have. Free Arm/Flat BedOffering 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. Other positives include a 4mm stitch length the rolled hem conversion and the differential feed. The differential feed on this model is ideal for more demanding fabric and has other applications such as for gathering.
