      Is it very difficult to adjust the width of the hem folder permanently? It seems most here prefer a narrower hem, so I'd be surprised that retailers wouldn't get on that.  But I saw on twitter that all se locations now chainstitch to 3/8", which is great!

        Depends what sort of folder you have.  On most it is a piece of piss…....It's undo a bolt, move folder stop, do up bolt.....

          Like Giles said - usually, the folders are not variable: separate folder for a different width.
          I seem to remember that there were at least 2 different original folders out there. Also, there have been a few aftermarket options and, not to mention, attempts to retro-fit the D,  F or J models of the machine family in the meantime…

            Actually @FOXY , I mean't it was pretty easy.

            Most of the after market models (I have seen and own anyway) have a bolt for adjusting width…

            This one is ridiculously expensive, but it does have hem width adjustment capability...

              Yep, I understand the differential tension causing the roping, I don't really care if the dog ate SELA's homework, I just want a good hem. It's a shame to mar an investment of several hundred dollars with anything less. The only place I trust now is IH. I know Railcar can do it as well but I think they can have extended turnaround.

              So, random announcement, I'm wearing my 3W herringbone with the white runoff threads and someone tells me they had no idea I was Jewish. After a few moments of thorough confusion I figured out they thought the runoff threads were little tzitzits.

              Shabbat shalom!

              Think it, be it.

                  You're thinking Furious 7 is going to be dumb.  Really, really dumb.  So preposterous that it's literally laughable.  You would be correct.

                  And it's awesome.

                            That's a very sad topic to joke about… didn't know they wore any jeans in the first place.

                                            A crackdown on hipsters can't be all bad.

                                            When ISIS came for the Hipsters,
                                            I remained silent;
                                            I was not a Hipster.

                                            When they locked up the smokers,
                                            I remained silent;
                                            I was not a smoker.

                                            When they came for the Rainbow weft wearers,
                                            I did not speak out;
                                            I was never a rainbow weft guy.

                                            When they came for the PF Flyer’s fanatics,
                                            I remained silent;
                                            I could care less about PF Flyer’s.

                                            When they came for me,
                                            there was no one left to speak out.
