What also helps is to iron the selvage so it almost sticks to the rest of the denim, that works for us! Thanks for the kind words about our shop and we think the same way about yours. if you give me your mail adress we can send you some pics of ours and some denims we shortened with it! Grzzzz.

For the last problem with the inseam gets because you need to open the folder on the right moment. If you open it to late or even not at all, then the result is that of your last picture!
