Brother 3034D Parts & Accessories

Most-replaced parts on the Brother 3034D

KNIFE Brother 3034D 4234D 4234DT 5234PRW Upper (XB1687001): the upper knife does the cutting and dulls first — a ragged or chewed edge, fabric pushing instead of slicing, or threads fraying before the loopers catch them means it is due.

LOOPER Brother 925D 929D 935D 1034D 3034D Lower (X77774001): a bent tip or a needle-strike burr on a looper frays thread and throws loops on one side of the stitch; loopers are handed, so the upper and lower are different parts.

Needle Plate Brother 1034DX 1634DX 3034D 3100D (XB2373101): a needle strike leaves a burr around the hole that snags thread and fabric; on a serger the stitch finger wears and the edge stops forming cleanly.

FOOT Brother 929D 1034D 3034D Standard (XB0316001): feet do not wear so much as go missing or get bought for the wrong shank.

Finding your model number

The model number is on the machine itself, not on the carry case or the manual — look for a plate or sticker on the front of the base, the right-hand side, the back near the power socket, or underneath. On a Brother it is printed as 3034D and the letters and suffix are part of it; a sibling model with a different suffix can take different parts.

Frequently asked questions

Which parts do you stock for the Brother 3034D?

6 items whose specification names the 3034D: 1 needle plates, feed dogs & needle parts; 1 presser feet & attachments; 4 knives & loopers. Each one is listed above with its price and whether it is the manufacturer's part, a compatible part, or an accessory cut for this model.

Are the compatible parts for the 3034D as good as the original?

A compatible part is made by a third-party manufacturer to the dimensions of the Brother part and costs less. For bobbin cases, plates, knives and feet that is usually a sensible buy; for a hook or anything with moving parts on a newer machine the manufacturer's part is the safer choice where we have it. We never describe a compatible part as the brand's own.

Do these parts also fit the Brother 929D?

3 of the 6 items on this page name the 929D as well, because the two models share those parts. The rest do not — check the fits-these-machines list on each part, and see the related machines below.

Upper or lower knife for the 3034D?

Replace the upper knife first — it is the moving blade and wears several times faster than the lower. Replace the lower only if it is chipped. Both are listed above, each naming the position.

My 3034D needs a part that is not listed. Can you get it?

Email the part name and your model number to support@ultimatesewingandvac.com. If the distributor's catalog carries it we will quote it; if the fitment is uncertain we will say so rather than guess.

Do you ship the same day?

No. Orders are released to the warehouse the next business day and tracking is emailed when the parcel ships. We do not hold stock ourselves, so if an item is unavailable after you order we email you first.
