See the marketplace rules here https://leatherworker.net/forum/forum/70-announcements/ If your files are too large to post here due to file size restrictions, you need to resize your files to fit. Follow this link for some helps and suggestions. https://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/15122-how-to-post-pictures-on-lw/?do=findComment&comment=551171 There are lots of Apps, software, and online tools available on the web, or even built into your device to enable you to reduce your file sizes. 800 pixels in the longest dimension is quite adequate. Smart phone screens and many monitors don't display high res files in high resolution. People that live on the fringes of the internet appreciate smaller file sizes and high res photos may take from 10 minutes to hours to download.

Don't do back-stitching on your machine. Leave extra long tails at the start and finish, then manually back-stitch (saddle stitch) using harness needles. You can then place your stitch more accurately, and relatively no risk of damaging the threads.

If you are looking for info on magnets, check out this link. They have lots of types and supporting information. For a stitching pony with magnetic jaws, you may need a strong magnet separator. Lots of experiments under their blog page. Lots of rabbit holes!

It is the reaction between iron and tannin, same as used to make vinegaroon if you would like to look that up. Keep all iron filings off your work space! You may be able to bleach it out using oxalic acid (teaspoon full in a pint of water) or wood bleach, or barkeeps friend (which all contain oxalic acid. Rinse after to reduce the acid left in the leather.

I split your post off the old thread you had tagged onto. When looking for something like this, start a new thread. Also post pictures here, not on 3rd party hosts.

Moved to leather sewing machines.

Lots of topic areas (forums). Pick the ones that seem to fit and fire away! Descriptions of each on the home page. There's also the forum, How do I do that? Some of the posts get moved into other forums they fit into.

Moved out of Help wanted to Dyes, Antiques, Stains, Glues, Waxes, Finishes and Conditioners. Posts in Help wanted need moderator's approval before they can be seen. You are better off asking questions here.

Unfortunately, guests can't post photos, so will have to put their photos on a 3rd party host.

Opened with my PDF program and they are all there. The viewer inside Firefox didn't show the diagrams!

I notice all diagrams are missing. Anyone have the complete manual so I can upload it here?

Re-read my post, I already moved it. Members can't move posts. Only moderators and administrators can move posts.

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/

Either quote a part of the post you want the member to be notified, or tag the member by typing the @ symbol followed by the member's screen name. Then pick from the popup list. @goaninmumbai You have a query, see above.

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.
