Does the machine have the zigzag stich thats most commonly used in dresses brought from shop?

The "zigzag" stitch on the inside of shop-bought ready to wear clothing is actually an Overlock stitch. It's used to finish the raw fabric edges, and it has some elastic-like properties that allow the stitches to stretch and move with the fabric without snapping and breaking (think of how a seam on a close-fitting knitted/jersey stretch dress would need to stretch and move with the body). A "true" overlock stitch (typically using 3 or 4 threads - as opposed to only 2 on a normal machine - top thread + bobbin thread) can only be achieved on an Overlocker machine (commonly called a "Serger" in the USA). On an Overlocker the machine cuts and trims the seam-allowances of the fabric edges whilst also stitching them - "looper" threads are effectively wrapped around and over the edges of the fabric. An ordinary sewing machine cannot cut fabric as it stitches, nor can it wrap/loop thread over the cut edges. However, many domestic, home sewing machines have a faux (fake) stitch that closely resembles an Overlock stitch. This "mock" stitch is often called an "Elastic Overlock Stitch". And, on the Brother MF27 model there are 2 such mock stitches - no.s 17 + 18. P.S. There are special "cut and hem" style overlocker attachments that can be fitted to ordinary machines which will (in conjunction with using the faux elastic overlock stitches) cut the fabric edges for you as you stitch them. However, I'd always personally recommend investing in an Overlocker (I own one myself and love it!) if you're very keen on dressmaking as it gives a professional finish and is invaluable for making t-shirts and other jersey garments!

Hi. Can anyone please tell me if this machine makes a lot noise? I live in a shared house and don't wanna be making a lot of noise

Hi, I think it’s not so noisy like some old ones machines.

Will this work for sewing patches onto leather?

It goes through several layers of denim with no trouble but I have never tried leather.

Can this be used on denim/jeans?

Yes this machine is perfect for use with Denim, but also PVC/ Leather - as a Non-Stick foot is included in the box.
