          The blonde says it reminds her of tampon strings. Great.

                Same.  Just cut some off a newly purchase shirt yesterday, in fact.  My dislike of them overcomes even my powerful laziness.

                        Another reason I keep them on is should I choose to sell a shirt the buyer might prefer those little details. cutting them off might effect the value. I have never had anyone ask me what a chainstitch runoff is anyway so people don't seem to notice

                            On seeing the chain stitch run off on my IH Chambray for the first time, my brother remarked that it looked like I’d dressed as an Orthodox Jew. I’d not considered that and it did make me laugh

                              I like it. I don’t care too much one way or the other. Overlock runoff I trim from sleeves on the IH thermals though because it’s annoying.

                              Think it, be it.

                                @Gulliver I’ve had that thought and even though I’m a gentile I like it 🤣

                                  Wasn’t a fan when I first got into this scene. Now I barely even notice almost all my shirts have it.

                                        @Mizmazzle I was the opposite. I was seriously prejudiced against shirts without it. Now I’m indifferent 😀

                                            @popvulture x2. Don’t know how to explain it nor really care to do so. Just makes me happy.
