        Mr G. Sure, I'm done with this topic and sure didn't want to start peeing contest or flaming.

        My bad, excuses to everybody who might have been offended.

        No need to open a new thread in my point of view. If somebody wants to do that I can contribute, but in constructive way.

        Nice manners are nice.

          Just put out feelers in the UK for a machine/folder that will do this type of hem.  I'm getting prepped for the arrival of the Chino's…...........

              am i missing something? looks like a standard hem. just an folder foot on a straight sewer will do the trick unless you want one just for hems then you'll obviously need a leg hemmer.

              let hemmer would have a free arm so you can hem with leg still the right way round [just like your union special] but on a plain sewer you will need to turn the leg inside out.

                  No you are not missing anything, but I do not have a folder that will do this nor do not know whether I can get one that will fit my old Singer, hence I've asked my local industrial sewing machine man to sort me out – I may need just a folder, I may need a new machine plus folder.  Either way, I do not know the answer….

                    if i may suggest try doing some hand folding. once you get the hang of it you would never bother using a folder again

                      I've tried and am shit at it….........And anyway, I can hem a pair of jeans on the Union in about 5 minutes, to do the Chinos neatly would involve a load of fiddly turning and ironing and would take ages longer.  I'm not a seamstress, I just want to get the things done and out of the door as efficiently as possible................

                        a lady I know who used to do a lot of sewing/clothes etc. once advised me to iron the fold, then use needles in 90° angle to the stitch to avoid moving of the fold.

                        I sew normal hems from the inside so I can see the hem "edge" I'm supposed to sew.

                        Dunno if this helps…

                          haha fair enough. i am a tailor [or at least that's what i call myself] so it comes naturally to me.

                          in that case i would get a leg hemmer if you can  🙂
