      Afternoon gents…

      don't suppose you have any spares for the union special 43200g...

      I just need a couple of bits to get mine going... its so frustrating! like hens teeth.

      anyway, if you did then I will cross your palms with gold galore.

      😃

                I am not sure if your been sarcastic or not but that is clearly a lockstitch machine. It has a walking foot

                        can the hem of t-shirts be chain-stitched?

                          Just tried it on a cheapo very stretchy one.  Not altogether syccessful, but on a proper Tee (IH), it is likely to be a lot better…................When you come down, bring a selection......................

                            Does chainstitching stretch enough to work for a tshirt?  Seems like it would be possible, though.  Just need to use lighter weight thread and maybe reset the stitch length.

                            EDIT: damn, Giles had a faster and better answer…

                              On the Union Special, altering the stitch length is a major engineering job.  It means frigging around with a bunch of internal cams…...Not happening.....

                              But, the beauty about the chain stitch is that is stretches with the cotton on the Tee.  No problems there....
