        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?

              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:
