Can anyone recommend someone local to do a hem a pair of jeans and finish with a chain stitch. I was asking this alterations woman and she quoted me $30. However, I'm not sure she knows what a chain stitch is. There was a little bit of a language barrier.
I haven't found anyone local to do it. There are regular tailors who say they keep the original hem, which is a weird cut and attach job. Then, there are those who do a regular hem. A chainstitch requires a specific machine. Recently I've bought my jeans from shops that do the chainstitch based on your desired inseam and ship them.
