This one was added on the hand crank and base in the UK. Very pretty

I have never had a chain stitch but remember my Mother carefully taken the hem out of our dresses and saving the thread. (I still do if I have to alter pants) The chain stitch will come out without breaking and she always saved the thread in case she needed that color for something else. I believe most commercial hem machines are chain stitch.

my daughter has a chain stitch childs (toy) singer and it is great for basting....holds well and then removes easily.

Ohh! I never thought about actually using my W&G. I just thought it was the coolest looking antique machine I'd ever seen. Now to get hubby to rewire her ...................... OR find a treadle table (probably easier :D )
