Key Features

1. Automatic Needle Threader
This feature simplifies threading the needle with a simple lever action. Lower the lever and turn it back and forth to effortlessly pass the thread through the needle eye, reducing eye strain .

2. 7-Point Feed Dog System
Unlike standard machines, the HZL-27Z utilizes a 7-point feed dog (two extra feed dogs are located in front of the needle). This system ensures consistent and even feeding of all types of fabrics, from lightweight materials to multiple layers of heavy denim, preventing slippage and material shrinkage .

3. Easy Drop-in Bobbin
The machine features a horizontal, drop-in bobbin system. The bobbin case is easily accessible, and the transparent cover allows you to see the remaining thread at a glance, making preparation and cleaning simple .

4. Large & Easy-to-Use Controls
The stitch selector and reverse feed lever are designed to be large and ergonomic. This makes it easy to change stitch patterns and reverse stitch for reinforcement without fumbling with small controls .

5. White LED Lighting
An LED light brightly illuminates the needle entry area. Unlike traditional bulbs, LEDs do not heat up during long sewing sessions, have a longer lifespan, and consume less power .

6. Free Arm Capability
By sliding off the removable accessory box, you can convert the machine from a flat-bed to a free-arm model. This is ideal for sewing cylindrical items like cuffs, collars, pant hems, and sleeves .

7. 4-Step Buttonhole
Create neat and consistent buttonholes easily with the 4-step buttonhole function. This feature guides you through the process of sewing a buttonhole to match your specific button size .

8. Changeable Needle Positions
For straight stitching, you have the flexibility to select either the left or center needle position, giving you greater control over seam allowances and topstitching .

9. Easy Sewing Start (Presser Foot Button)
A black button on the presser foot allows you to level it parallel to the throat plate. This provides extra stability and makes it easier to start sewing on multiple layers of fabric or overlapped seams without the edge slipping .
