        well done. I know the Union comes with the automated hem folding thingemme - does it tell you how wide the folded part of the hem has to be or is this an adjustment / setting that you make ?

          Beats, it tells me nothing, this is a voyage of self discovery!!!

          1)  The folder thingy is an optional extra
          2)  The one that I have has the compressed air option, which is a pain at the mo, as I don't have compressed air piping that fits the input on the machine table that distributes the compressed air to the places that it needs to get to.
          3) I worked out that I can bipass the compressed air option (if I want to) and re-engineer so that  the 2 functions that the compressed air automates will then be manual.  I worked this out by looking at photos of Harakis machine which does not have the compressed air upgrade.
          4) Once I have solved the compressed air issues, I can then see more clearly what adjuster does what and then work out how (it it is possible at all) to change the width of the folded part.

                Looking good!  Straight line, even hem, spacing just right.  It gives one a sense of satisfaction to conquer the soul of a new machine and subjugate it to one's will.  I used to characterize my staff as "grown men vs. office machines"–especially those running Windows Vista.

                            Thanks. G, I know you are still figuring out how to operate this piece of machinery, but are you perhaps planning on providing a general hemming service, or just one on all items IH & TW that get sold through your webstore?

                              When all is up and running I will hem jeans bought from me for free.

                              I will also hem any other jean that is sent to me.  I have not determined how I will charge for this yet.  As soon as I do, I will post….G

                                Giles - that is some really exciting news!.. Was in need of a €uro-based chainstitching service… Knowing I will most likely buy all my future jeans through you, means I don't have to go out of my way to get them hemmed to a 34!..  😘
