Fixed the stickies referred to. Most web connections now want a secure connection. So http has to be changed to https, the s for secure. Check out https://www.cloudflare.com/en-ca/learning/ssl/why-is-http-not-secure/

Unfortunately, some items disappear off the web. We have no control over that. That being said, there have been a number of forum software upgrades over the years, and along with that, changes to internet protocols and browsers. I just had a look at the top pinned item. Further down in the posts, the original URL was fixed. I just copied that into the first post. The person's own website is not available, and I can't fix that. As you find some of these problems, message me, and I'll see if I can fix broken links on this site, or recover from other sources. It's not going to happen all at once as I have a life of my own to live. I have fixed quite a number in the past. Maybe more in the future.

Videos hardly ever fit here. Put it on YouTube and link to it here.

It was obvious you were referring to hand stitching and maybe you thought this forum was all about hand stitching. I was letting you know that it included machine stitching too. No problem.

Service manual should have instructions on setting the check spring position.

I see a parts list at https://www.supsew.com/search-results/?wpfb_s=46k46 But no instruction manual. Further above in this thread, @Constabulary said he has one of these machines. Maybe he has more information that can help you.

The pin must be slightly tapered. Put some fingernail polish on it, tap it into place - gently. Clean any oil off the pin and out of the hole first before applying fingernail polish (or other retaining compound such as Loctite - various formulations like Loctite 290 thread locker). EDIT: Do you have a manual for your machine? Lots of manuals online for 20U33. Just looked at my 20U33. It doesn't have a pin. My machine is blue, from about 1975 if I remember right.

@KeriHat The check spring is adjusted by rotating the assembly to the desired position before you tighten the retaining screw. Do a search for setting the check spring.

@Pink1977 moved your post to leather sewing machines since this is turning into a sewing machine discussion.
