Giles - Never checked back in with you about changing out the needle on your machine. Were you able to find that small bolt that we were talking about?

That's a lovely machine. I swear, those old Singers are built like tanks. Minimal maintenance and that one will outlive all of us. What model is it, btw?

I'm fairly certain it is a Model #27. Giles

Yes thanks. I had always been looking for it with the needle in the up position, so the needle tightening nut was hidden from view. Learnt a massive amount about how to tweak Unity, when I was in Japan, we now laugh at Anniversary's…...

This goes on a bit I am afraid, but this is one of the legs of GB's latest IH-634SR's, being given the hemming treatment by Unity:

Works almost perfectly. Very occasionally it misses a loop, but that is easy to spot, undo and re-hem. I'm using Schmetz 128GAS in 31
