Brother AZ17 Sewing Machine, 17 programs

The Brother AZ17 is a mechanical sewing machine designed for basic repairs and garment construction. It uses a manual dial to select stitch types, allowing you to work with a range of fabrics, from standard woven materials to the stretchier textiles common in modern clothing. The machine is best suited for practical tasks such as hemming and simple sewing, and it includes a four-step sequence for making buttonholes on shirts or jackets.

The free arm makes it easier to sew cylindrical parts of a garment, such as sleeve cuffs or trouser legs, which can be difficult on a flatbed machine. A built-in light illuminates the needle and the surrounding sewing area. You select stitches via a manual dial rather than a digital menu, and sewing speed is controlled using an external foot pedal.
