      Works almost perfectly.  Very occasionally it misses a loop, but that is easy to spot, undo and re-hem.  I'm using Schmetz 128GAS in 31

              21's are fine, you may get away with smaller.  have you recieved your 634S yet?  If so, you will notice now open the weave is for something that heavy.  Don't even think of doing a pair of Annies with an 18…....

                no yet, haven't been this excited about getting a piece of clothing for a while, last time would be when i did a very limited run of blazers and the material had 4% metal.

                well unless you guys are planing to do another run of those annies, doesn't look like i would get a chance to try.

                  We are not, they were limited to 400 pairs.  But there is still some of the material lying around - I have plans for it….........................

                                          I really like that there is a hammer involved in this process.
