Wizcrafts Report post Posted October 14, 2019 43 minutes ago, archerydude said: a union special Are you aware that it is a twin needle (inline), chainstitch, saddle stitch machine for decorative stitches? You can contact Union Special for more information about the machine's age. Here is a link to a detailed manual for the Union Special 100TN. The copyright date on page two is 1962 for the second edition. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quote 100 TN For necktie closing, joining tie, lining strip and band. Needle travel 1 1/32 inch. Equipped with attachment for centering lining and tape. Machine may be used with or without tape. Stitch range is 2 1/4 to 3 stitches per inch. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
