From the manufacturer

Brother ST4031HD Strong & Tough Serger
Get professional results on everything from heavy duty fabrics to lightweight knits with the Strong & Tough Serger from Brother. Its industrial-grade blade is manufactured of carbon steel that meets rigorous high durability standards, and as a result can cut evenly and smoothly, even through multiple layers of denim. The heavy duty metal frame provides stability while serging at high speeds, and durability for many years of extended use. The ST4031HD gives you the creative freedom to serge layers of denim, difficult knits and other tough projects with ease.
Strong & Tough Features for Professional Results
Tackle heavy fabrics
Serge with confidence on multiple layers of denim, layered knits and heavy duty fabrics. Professionally cut and finish in one easy step on a wide range of projects.
High Durability Blade
The Strong & Tough blade is manufactured of strong, durable carbon steel, and can cut a smooth, clean edge through heavy fabrics.
Heavy duty metal frame
The strong interior metal frame helps ensure your serger remains stable on your work surface, even at very high speeds. This heavy duty frame is built for durability and longevity, for many years of extended use.
Wide extension table
The wide, detachable table keeps heavy fabrics on a level surface with the needle, helping to prevent excess pulling on the needle and thread, for better finishing.
Up to 1,300 stitches per minute
Get more serging done, faster, with the ability to sew up to 1,300 stitches per minute. Simply using less pressure on the foot controller allows you to sew slower, to suit your comfort level and project.
Metal thread stand
The Strong & Tough Serger thread stand is made of solid metal, for enhanced durability and longevity. The thread stand helps ensure that the thread feeds up and off your thread spools correctly.
3 or 4 thread capabilities
This serger works with either 3 or 4 threads, for added flexibility. For example, 4 threads are useful for a strong overlock seam on wovens, and 3 threads for overlock stitching on knits or suits.
Color-coded threading guides
The color-coded guides printed on the machine show you exactly where to place each thread, for trouble-free threading. No need to pull out the manual when you want to thread your machine!
Removable trim trap
The trim trap collects the fabric trim as the serger knife trims and serges your project, and can be easily detached from the serger.
Differential feed ratio of 0.7 to 2.0
The differential feed controls the movement of the feed dogs that move the fabric through the machine. The ability to adjust the feed dogs helps provide smooth, even stitching and versatility.
Convenient stitch width control
Simply turn the stitch width adjustment dial to change your stitch width between 5.0mm (3/16 inch) and 7.0mm (9/32 inch). Adjusting the stitch width allows you to create serged seam finishes that lie flat.
Standard foot
The included Standard serging foot is a great general purpose foot for a wide range of everyday serging projects such as seams and rolled hems. Your fabric edge will be sewn and trimmed in one easy step.
Blind hem stitch foot
Create blind hems on a variety of fabrics. This foot is perfect for edge stitching, attaching lace or fabric, and edge joining. An adjustable, open-toed guide makes this a great foot for both embellishing and utility stitching.
Gathering foot
Easy gathering, connecting fabric and edge finishing in one step. A channel on the foot secures fabric, helping to eliminate the need for pins as you create a serged edge and gather single or double layers of fabric.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2024Style: ST4031HDVerified PurchaseSeems to work well, I’m used to only using industrial machines, So this small thread business isn’t fun. Threading it is easy but frustrating, only for the fact of pushing thin thread through holes :). Once I got it going, I tested on jeans, Cordura, and vinyl. Seems to handle all with ease. It won’t get a ton of use but it’ll suit the need when Arises. One con so far: the thread stand is flimsy. I’ll probably modify or replace it.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2022Style: ST4031HDVerified PurchaseAfter 30 years of use my serger died. After much debate, research and testing of another brand I ordered the Brother ST4031HD. I can't imagine a better serger at any price. The lower looper threads in seconds with no fiddling around from the left. The machine is fast and sews through multiple layers of denim without hesitation. The one quirky thing that takes time to get used to is the presser foot lift is on the right side of the machine but not a big deal. It doesn't have a thread cutter but I just keep snips handy. Just be sure to use recommended needle size. All and all it's a great machine for a reasonable price. It has attractive styling, easy to adjust tension, rolled hems without changing plates, and, I can't say enough about how easy and quick it is to thread the lower looper.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2025Style: ST4031HDVerified PurchaseIt’s a very good surgery
- Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2024Style: ST4031HDVerified PurchaseThis is my first own serger. Before I had some experience with my mother's old serger, but I couldn't make friends with it. I thought this type of machine was too complicated, so for years I postponed getting it. But when this one came, it took me almost no time and only one video class to learn all basic seams and actually start making things.
Also, I was concerned that it may be loud. I live in an apartment building, and I can hear my neighbor snoring. So noise was important. The reviews were contradictory on this matter, and now I know the reason: it needs oiling right away + at least every month. When it gets dry, it may get noisy. When it's well lubricated, it is no different than a sewing machine. Just order some oil right away, it's really easy to apply it.
I like that it uses regular sewing needles. When it comes to thread, it's kind of picky (which I heard all sergers are). I tried using some cheap no-brand thread from China, and it just breaks, while my sewing machine is fine with this thread. I love the extension table and use it all the time.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2023Style: ST4031HDVerified PurchaseReally works like a heavy duty machine and has been dependable for the 6 weeks I have had it. I sew 6 days a week as I make and sell items using canvas and t-shirt material and it switches between the fabrics without any tension adjustment and handles both types of fabric easily and smoothly. The lift lever is super convenient for raising pressure foot. It came with a catch tray that the previos one I ordered and returned in two weeks did not include. A catch tray is just common sense and do not know why other brands do not include it. Being able to remove part of the deck is great for sewing small items that I would have to constantly stop and adjust the small small toddler skirts I make. I sew and sell items at markets and this machine has been reliable. If my other serger which is 12 years old should finally quit I would replace it with this same Brother machine. This is the first Brother brand I have bought and very happy with it.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2025Style: ST4031HDVerified PurchaseGreat serger. Well made. Zero problems.
The only draw back for me was the oil stinks that brother uses and it’s been lingering for quite a while.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2025Style: ST4031HDVerified PurchaseOh my gosh I was so excited to receive my brother serger , it came with everything promised and pre threaded . I've used it a few times and I am a happy girl ! my old new home serger lasted 28 yrs and was finally giving out so I researched for months before choosing this brother st4031 with a metal frame . I recommend oiling the machine right away before using .
I am a very pleased with this machine and would highly give it a 5 star and tell y'all it's worth the purchase!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2020Style: ST4031HDVerified PurchaseI had a White 734/DW that cost $1000.00 in 1993. It never worked right. I was constantly trying to configure a tension with no results. In and out of the shop. After spending so much money I couldn’t get rid of so it sat for 26 years. Needless to say I was terrified of sergers.
With this pandemic I started asking for donations of fabric. I was making masks for individuals and businesses. I didn’t want any money just a donation to the Food Bank. These first masks made 3800 meals. My first 340 masks took forever without a serger. So much pinning, ironing and measuring. Not to mention how bulky they were having to fold the raw edge in.
My daughter is a sewing teacher, seamstress and clothing designer. I asked her to recommend a serger and she recommended a Brother. I got the Serger on the 15th of June and I have made 360 more masks to donate to a mask distribution center. Because of the new Brother Serger these mask take only a quarter of the time the old ones took. I don’t feel like a 1 person sweat shop anymore. Also the masks look great.
This serger purrs like a kitten. It runs smoothly and provides an easy straight stitch. I love the side table. I am able to hold the fabric with my left hand and the garment is guided through easily. Honestly I don’t know why all sergers don’t have this feature.
I like this serger so well I want to sew everyday. So much fabric was donated for this cause I could make masks everyday for years.
Do take the time to get the Brother app. It was so easy to thread watching it being done.
I also needed help from Brother because my accessory pack was missing. I didn’t want to exchange the machine because it did come with a sewing foot. To my surprise 3 days after contacting Brother UPS arrived with the missing accessories.
My daughter who has a different brother said she is getting this model.
Thank you Brother and thank you Amazon. With the fast shipment and replacement accessories I can keep making masks every day all for donating.
Theses masks help feed the needy and go out to people that need them. They may also save a life. It took a whole lot of people that made it possible for me to keep sewing.
I know this is very long but to get a machine of any type that you love right out of the box is rare.

5.0 out of 5 stars Resistente y rápida
Style: ST4031HDVerified PurchaseLa máquina salió excelente, valió la pena la inversión. Es resistente, y rápida. Sin duda, fue una buena idea, a buen precio.
Si la configuras, puedes hacer "Feston".

5.0 out of 5 stars Made in Taiwan, good machine for the price.
Style: ST4031HDVerified PurchaseI don’t known what sheerness means but this serger is really good value and works great. Easy to thread, easy to set different settings like the rolled hem and blind hem. I love this machine and would buy it again in a heartbeat if I had to redo it. Works well on overlooking denim and since it has the differential feed it works well with overlooking old wool sweaters (I recycle pilled ones into dog clothes). I really have no complaints so far and it seems well made. Oh yeah and it is made in Taiwan and I personally like that. I only mention it because I had a hard time finding where it was made online.

5.0 out of 5 stars Overall great serger
Style: ST4031HDVerified PurchaseI am ecstatic to finally have a nice serger! I previously had the Singer Pro-Finish and was constantly having issues. This one is such an improvement! The threading is somewhat complicated but there are very good diagrams right on the machine. The tension is consistent and the machine isn't too loud for my basement apartment. I would definitely recommend this machine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excelente Overlock
Style: ST4031HDVerified PurchaseMuy buena overlock, es muy fácil de usar tan solo con sacarla de la caja porque ya viene enhebrada. Trae 4 hilos de colores ya instalados. Su manual de instrucciones viene muy completo en varios idiomas incluyendo ingles y español. Hay instrucciones con imágenes para identificar que cada hilo tenga la tension correcta y como se ve si tiene mas o menos tensión que la ideal y explica como solucionarlo. También tiene instructivos para hacer diferentes tipos de puntadas con los diferentes prensatelas incluídos.

5.0 out of 5 stars Me encanta
Style: ST4031HDVerified PurchaseLlegó muy bien empaquetada, venia en su caja, dentro de otra caja más grande. Trae sus accesorios y manuales. Me tardé como media hora en ensartar el primer hilo porq no sale toda la pieza retractil, pero fuera de eso todo se ensarta en 2 minutos. Le puse un tapete de corte y una toalla abajo para que no salte tanto al coser. Fue la mejor máquina q encontré.
