Union Special 43200G - Chain Stitching in UK

[J Cosmo Asp]

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.

Well done, G, looks like a hoot!

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!..

I am so looking forward to giving this baby a run..next I visit I might sit there for hours and all you hear is rattattattattattt and eventually the popping sound of a beer bottle being opened..

random - just found a true chainstitching wizard - description to a pair of jawns on ebay

-HEMMED FROM A 29''INSEAM TO A 30''INSEAM

G - if you can do that - I'll call you Mr. Unagi

[Giles]

Now if I could do that I would be a very rich man…..

[cowsareforeating]

i saw that, those are those SEXIH07BK's right? he had them chainstitched to 29" and then got them undone and now they're 30.

[Beatle]

that's one crappy hem

[Beatle]

he doesn't have enough material to double fold - talk about people ruining perfectly fine denim

Speaking of crappy hem jobs, I got those Samurai's for my girl and they are not chainstitched.  ???   I am going to have to figure something out…

[cowsareforeating]

yeah i asked him to see a pic for shits and giggles and he refused LOL i wonder why

A few snap shots of our setup here in LA. All hemming is done start to finish by yours truly.

[Giles]

Just chain stitched Mrs G's black sulphur topped Triple Works 3230's.  She's happy as Larry and I have proved that I can tame the beast….G

Shit - is that the green light for me to ship my 634s'es to you?..
