          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!

                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:

                          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?

                                  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:
