        Unity just bust a needle - only the second one ever.  But it does mean some fairly major surgery to repair and replace - bollocks….

                                So white denim gets dirty and Unity is inherently dirty. This is the best way I have found of cleaning her off before hemming a pair of IH-634S-WH….

                                  Doing a little maintenance on Unity.  Much easier to look at the quality/tension of the chain stitch if you use contrasting colour threads, and (in this case navy) duck…..

                                      Absolutely awesome.  That reminds me.  Any news of a 634D and in multiple color ways?

                                          I'd say you've got the tension right.  Nice and even looking stitches there.
