Just bought this coverhem machine from Kens Sewing. Five minutes after unpack I had a lovely, perfect 8" coverhem sample. That was yesterday. Today I have a lovely, new t-shirt with painless, perfect hems and bound neckline compliments of this machine.

The machine isn't high-end (results are tho) but I'm thinking that it's going to help me puzzle out why my 4yo, $1500 Bernina overlock/chain/coverstitch can't make--never has--anywhere near an acceptable coverstitch let alone a chainstitch.

High-end, schmi-end. This.Bro.works.good

Oh, and, Ken has the best price (far as I can tell) in the US. Also, having fumbled the initial order I created an immediate customer service test. Ken and crew passed w/flying colors. I am one happy camper.

I just got my Brother 2340cv Coverhem Sewing Machine and it is a dream! It took me a little while to thread it the correct way but it is much easier than my serger. And after a few times it will be as easy as my standard machine. I practiced a hem on an old t-shirt and then immediately started to hem all of my clothes that needed to be hemmed. It is so fast and the finished product looks like I took it to a professional tailor. This will pay for itself in no time! You won't regret buying this for hemming or making new clothes.

I'm very satisfied with this machine, the stitches was very nice. I love it very much. For this machine,I have an option to either use 2 needles or 3 needles coverstich. One point to note is that this machine don't like a cheap thread, the stitches will break. other than that, it works beautifully.

I was a little worried about using this sewing machine, but I can honestly say it was easy. Between the directions in the manual and the diagrams on the machine, I had it threaded in less than 15 minutes. I was able to find all the answers to my questions in the manual. After sewing a sample of maybe 10 inches, I decided I was ready and I hemmed a shirt for my mom. It looks professional. I know this machine will save me lots of time and money. I'm really glad I decided to buy it.

I was contemplating purchasing an industrial coverstitch machine; however, the prices were astronomical and they only performed one function. I have worked a lot on other coverstitch machines with too many options causing it to be difficult to thread, and operate, so when I saw the Brother Coverstitch machine at a reasonable price and with a couple of functions I was impressed.

Although I have not used all of the functions yet, I am impressed by the simplicity of this machine and the quality results that it produces. I am excited to have time to start doing some hardcore sewing and to experiment with the other feet, and settings.

I would recommend this machine to anybody who is looking for quality results, no headaches when threading, and a reasonable price.

This machine is awesome. I have all Brother machines and I can't speak enough to their performance and ease of use.
I own a Brother serger, and I have to say that it's the easiest serger to thread that I've ever used, and it always creates a perfect stitch every time. I had a couple other sergers in the past, one, a Singer took me hours of adjusting to get a decent stitch, but not this Brother.
This cover stitch machine took only a minute to thread out of the box, and the machine gives a perfect four, three, and two thread cover stitch not to mention a flawless chain stitch every time. This machine is well worth the money, and trust me, you won't be able to live without it once you start using it. I made a rob in about a half an hour with this machine, and no one in my family could tell I hadn't bought it off the rack. With summer coming it would be a wise investment to buy this machine to make swim trunks, T's, and shorts.

Great machine.
Beautiful, smooth stitching.
Love the decorative stitch potential, and am having a ball sewing with it...addid to my regular machine and serger.

Brother 2340 is a very good coverhem stitch, very easy to use. It helps me to complete the project. If you try it, you will love it. Because it makes professional product.

I have always wanted a cover hem machine, so at this price, I thought, why not?!
So it does do nice hems and is easy to thread.

The only things I don't like is it does not finish the hem well and so wastes a lot of thread.
I wish it would have a button, so that it would go up and down in place to finish the hem, so you could just cut it flush with the fabric.

Instead, you have to pull the fabric one way and cut two threads. Then pull the other way, and it is suppose to bring the remaining two threads thru.
But it always seems a mess.
I end up getting out the needle and thread to finish the hem.

This machine is great for making a professional looking hem. It's very easy to use and works great on knit fabric.
