I don't know Roy, I just know he has the machine. Not many private tailors has one as it's a pricy machine just to do one thing.

Doing blanket stitch would be just as strong if not stronger. Need to use nice and thick top stitch thread.

I don't think Roy is in the repair business

I don't know Roy either.  Gonna do it myself, it'll mean more that way.  Thanks again.  I had no idea what a blanket stitch was before I asked.

The thread around the top button hole on my SR's is coming loose.  Has this happened to anyone else?  Is it something I need to have fixed ASAP?  And can it be done by a regular sewing machine or do I need to send it to Self-Edge or Giles?  Thanks.

Is this the sort of thing you're refering to? If it is I better get it fixed asap.

Seul,  it's all yours send me a pm

damn…who else got some of these?

@ D97x7:  It's more like what's happening on the bottom of the button-hole in the picture (that's a sad picture  :(), with less fraying and more of the thread unraveling.  ASAP is right, gonna go buy some thread and a needle today or tomorrow.  Anyone know what size needle is best?  I'll look around…

[jimmy]

D97 get that fixed or it will just keep fray away.

Adam any needle will do as long as it's easy to work with. Thread is more important.

When I am blanket-stitching the buttonhole, is there anything I need to do to secure the old thread to prevent it from continuing to unravel after the repair?

From what I learned online, I was just going to begin the repair stitch within what's left of the original seam, and work my way around the buttonhole.  Will this essentially "knot" the original thread?
