Winchy and I lusting after need a Cornelly Chainstitch Embroidery Industrial Sewing Machine.

We would like to offer a bespoke chainstitching service - get your name or whatever chainstitched onto whatever (pocket bags, shirts, jackets).

A) Does anyone know of a decent one for sale?
What do you think about the idea?

^A bit expensive though …

This could be an alternative (not sure if they do triple stitch):

Is that how Roy does his name on the pocket bags?

The Singers are super rare. There are only a hand full in existence (in working order).  I'm getting my IHSH-55 worked on soon by my buddy. It's going to be a big Native American garage motif on the back with my name on the front.

Sounds like a great idea G.

Please, help. When you soak jeans, do you flip them back out before or after they dry? Flipped one leg wet and freaked out that I had made a rookie mistake.

[jacoavlu]

before, and you can smooth out any creases that you might see

[joesaintjohn]

Phew…

[joesaintjohn]

I'm really scared to feck these up because I like them so much. I hope they're okay and I didn't "noob scar" them.

That's some inventive coat-hangering. Mate they'll be fine. When they're close to dry or dry put them on and move around in them a bit. The crease should reset after a few squats worst case, or naturally in a few days of wear. (2nd shelf down on the right   ::) )

[joesaintjohn]

Hahahah! You inspired Lori to get those!!!

[Snowy]

haha that's awesome, am sure she'll enjoy for many many years. Thanks for sharing :).

[tatmantall]

glad i am not theonly one who notices creative " coat-hangery"

[madmonday]

three bros:

name the three shirts & you win a big bag of n-t–ng

can never have enough black shirts

[bagley920]

64, 50, 69?

[madmonday]

one out of three isn't so bad .  .  . one of the shirts is a 64 

another random question, why is the rise on the busters the gift & the curse? my ass feels good being covered but my gut gets pissed off at the denim riding all high.
