Union Special 43200G - Chain Stitching in UK

[Giles]

Just turned up a pair of Mrs G's black selvedge denim TW3230's.  These are a sample and all the stitching is black.  I experimented with black thread on the face and yellow on the reverse.  Interesting end result…..

Thanks G!..

I think you're seriously on to something there Mr. G….

[Giles]

Just made a pair or shorts for Mrs G out of a pair or 2 year old Triple Works.  Unity did the biz, then we popped them into a medium hot wash.  The roping has to be seen to be believed.  Drying on the radiator atm, pics tomorror….G

Yep, that roping is pretty intense.  Nice job Giles!

[Giles]

Unity had a bit of a face-lift this morning.  I decided to seperate the foot lifting function from the folder/stitch speed function, will give me a tad more control:

[Beatle]

makes sense…so u use right foot for lift and left for stitch ?

[Giles]

otherway round at the mo, will fine tune with time.

I love that she's named Unity

[Beatle]

Actually she's called Beaunity

Unity has got a little sister.  Don't laugh, this old thing did an absolutely superb job of sewing the back pocket of my TW1220NI's back on today.  When I showed Mrs G, she could not tell what I had done…...

That's a lovely machine.  I swear, those old Singers are built like tanks.  Minimal maintenance and that one will outlive all of us.  What model is it, btw?

[Beatle]

No laughing …Singer . Good stuff

Giles - Never checked back in with you about changing out the needle on your machine. Were you able to find that small bolt that we were talking about?

I'm fairly certain it is a Model #27.  Giles

Yes thanks.  I had always been looking for it with the needle in the up position, so the needle tightening nut was hidden from view.  Learnt a massive amount about how to tweak Unity, when I was in Japan, we now laugh at Anniversary's…...

This goes on a bit I am afraid, but this is one of the legs of GB's latest IH-634SR's,  being given the hemming treatment by Unity:
