          Unity is fully functional again.  I had set one of the paramaters to be the thickness of two ciggie papers and it should only have been one.  She is a sensitive old gal.  Here is Rob the Unity surgeon:

                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....

                          Man… Imagine a royal blue shirt with a duck brown-like coloured thread and wearing it on top of your 801s...
