Do you look for chainstitching on other things you buy?

[totally epic]

Ever since I've gotten into raw denim, I notice or look for chainstitching in everything I buy now. Most of the time, it's not there, but occassionally I am pleasantly surprised.

For example, I have some 600 threadcount bedsheets that have chainstitching all around, but I didn't notice it until I washed them.

I bought a hundred year old chain stitching machine and use it for all my sewing jobs. It's too small to deal with denim though. I can't remember seeing it on anything else though.

every now and then I glance or check on the things I'm wearing, washing, or purchasing. This is only if I'm thinking about it at the moment.

i notice it but never specifically look or care that much. A lot of my tee's have it on the shoulder seam.

I think a lot of "chain stitching" on other articles of clothing is actually just variations on the overlock stitch. I personally don't care either way. The only time I've ever sweated a chain stitch was when I got my Sammies hemmed. I really only do it to preserve any jeans that were originally chain stitched.

I usually don't look for CS anywhere but on denim,

I have noticed it on other things before, but never gave it much thought.

fresco union special mate? how much did it run you?

Chainstiching is inferior to lockstitch. I wouln't want it any other place but denim.

They're just starting to fade nicely. 4 months no wash on my sheets.
